 | | IC1042 - Callisters Christmas - INSPIRATION
I have lost count of how many years I have made school bus Christmas cards for my sister, but it is become a cherished tradition. Each year, I create a fresh stack featuring this beloved school bus die cut, perfect for her to share with co-workers. Today's inspiration gave me the perfect excuse to pull it out again and begin this year's batch.
I started by die cutting the bus and adding black trim around the window for contrast. To give the design more dimension, I carefully cut the bus apart and popped the front section up with foam tape. The sentiment on the bumper "Pike" was custom ordered this past year from Magnuson Custom Stamps and is white heat embossed for a crisp finish.
It is subtle, but the tires are also heat embossed in clear to give them a bit of tread texture. This year's version is completed with a "Merry Christmas" sentiment, layered on red matting for a festive pop, and accented with die cut holly and glossy red Nuvo Drops.
I have created a gallery of the past bus cards I have made for my sister so I can easily see what I have made to create a new look for the bus. You can see them HERE.
Thank you for stopping by. I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.
Thank you for looking! |
