Simple Stories Open Road 6×8 Paper Pad

Create travel paper crafts, cards and mini albums with this 6×8 Open Road paper pad featuring maps, tags, journals and retro patterns.

Pack a little road-trip spirit into your next album, card set, journal, or mini book with the Simple Stories Open Road 6×8 Paper Pad. This smaller-format paper pad brings together retro travel colors, cheerful patterns, and adventure-ready artwork in an easy-to-use size for layering, matting, trimming, and card making. The palette mixes warm orange, peach, mustard, sage, olive, mint, cream, taupe, and soft aqua tones, giving the collection a sunny vintage feel that works beautifully for vacation photos, road trip memories, camping weekends, national park adventures, family travel journals, and handmade cards with a get-out-and-go personality.

The pad includes 24 double-sided sheets, with 2 designer prints, tag elements, journal elements, and (2) 3×4 greeting card element sheets. That mix gives you both patterned papers and ready-to-use pieces for storytelling. Use the designer prints for backgrounds in small albums, photo mats, card panels, planner dividers, tags, pockets, and layered embellishment clusters. The tag and journal elements are especially useful for dates, locations, captions, itinerary notes, and little details that help a memory feel complete. Because the designs are scaled for 6×8 projects, they are well suited to mini albums, traveler’s notebooks, card fronts, pocket pages, junk journals, and quick handmade gifts.

This paper pad is a strong match for travel paper crafts about scenic drives, favorite routes, roadside stops, family vacations, weekend getaways, and the little details that make a trip memorable. The imagery includes maps, road signs, flowers, daisies, plaids, arrows, stripes, notebook lines, camper-inspired colors, and warm southwestern-style accents. Use the map and road-inspired designs for road trip layouts, the florals for softer story pages, the geometric prints for bold backgrounds, and the journaling elements for captions and page titles.

The Open Road palette also works beautifully for camping paper crafts, especially when paired with photos from cabins, campsites, forest trails, RV trips, desert drives, and outdoor weekends. The warm oranges and greens feel like sunshine, trees, desert plants, and vintage travel signs, while the aqua and mint tones keep the collection fresh. Patterns such as plaids, stripes, notebook lines, daisies, and arrows give you options for both busy and quiet pages, making it easy to balance photos, journaling, and decorative pieces.

Use this 6×8 pad on its own for coordinated mini projects, or pair it with the Simple Stories Open Road Bits & Pieces, solid cardstock, alphabet stickers, enamel dots, twine, stamps, inks, and foam adhesive for extra dimension. The smaller sheets are easy to cut down for cards and tags without wasting large paper, and the double-sided format gives you more design flexibility from each sheet. For outdoors paper crafts, travel journals, summer albums, and memory keeping that celebrates the road ahead, this paper pad gives you a polished mix of patterned paper and ready-made journaling pieces with a warm, adventurous look.
