The Kaisercraft Sears & Son vintage collection of masculine papers inspired me to make a true keepsake for keeping photos of my grandfather in.
The papers were perfect for these photos. I had seen this suitcase made by a very talented scrapbooker on the Internet a while back and just had to make one. The embellishments, papers and sticker sheet made this project so easy to put together.
I used absolutely every paper in the collection, as well as the rub-ons, sticker sheet and collectables. Even the paper pad came in really handy for making the pages in the mini album.
Tip
- One bit of advice when making these keepsake off-the-page items is do not use inferior adhesives. Your project will look great when complete but will not stand up to the wear and tear over time.

Where can I order the kit or notes for the mini album please.
I would love to make this set. Is there a tutorial a person can purchase anywhere?
Hello Rhonda.
Unfortunately we do not have the step by step tutorial for this suitcase. However, if you Google ‘paper suitcase tutorial’ quite a few ideas come up.
Sorry I could not be of more assistance.
