Good morning! Today I have something a bit unexpected - using a fun new die from Simon Says Stamp. My kids are now in college, and since they homeschooled anyway, school buses weren't really part of their childhood. But when I saw the Big Bus die, I wanted to find a way to put it to use - and what could be more fun than a pink bus? And...it's a shaped card too to make it even more magical! I mean - I want to ride this bus! Haha!
As I mentioned already, I used the Big Bus die to create my card. I die cut the main layer 2 times from pink cardstock, once from white cardstock, and once from vellum. Then on one of the pink layers, I die cut the windows - the front window I just made sure to line up with the edge of the main piece. I backed the panel with vellum, then adhered it with Big Momma foam adhesive to the white bus layer. I scored the back pink layer across the top, then adhered them together, so that the back piece bends to allow the shaped card to open. Then, I die cut all the other layers from Pinkfresh Glacier glitter cardstock and Smoke and Slate SSS cardstock, adhering all to the front layer of the bus. I die cut Giggle Hello from white and glitter cardstock, and popped that up with foam, then added a secondary sentiment from For the Birds stamp set, trimmed into a thin strip with diagonal edges. Finished off with a few Clear Dazzling Gems for extra sparkle! Here are more photos of this fun card:
