Hi there! Have you seen the AWESOME new Friendly Frolic release by Simon Says Stamp? It’s so fun and I couldn’t wait to make a school bus shape card using the School Bus Messages set.
To begin I stamped the school bus image from School Bus Messages with Gina K’s Amalgam ink, which is amazing! Then I colored the bus with copics. I die cut the bus using the coordinating School Bus Messages die. I die cut another bus outline to adhere to the back to create the shape card.
I added a couple of cutie patootie critters to the bus using the Picture Book Monkey & Chihuahua dies. I gave the monkey a bow tie using the Cuddly Critters Accessories die set. I also added glossy accents to the bus lights.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this little shape card.
There’s more cuteness where this came from. Check out the Friendly Frolic release HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!

July 26, 2018 at 6:25 amYour shaped-card is just adorable ! I would love to get a ride in your bus !!! Can I take my dogs with me ? They love to go to school, dog-school of course, but the fact is they love to learn, or is it the treats they get for every well done exercice ? LOL !

July 28, 2018 at 7:28 amSooooo cute! That is exactly how I envisioned using that set as a shaped card and it worked beautifully. Love the little characters too.

July 28, 2018 at 8:11 amLove it as usual. However, is that a Chihuahua? I always thought that was a French Bulldog like Simon. Don’t get me wrong, I love Chihuahuas…I grew up with Chihuahuas always in the family, but I kind of think that little critter is supposed to represent Simon the dog (plus, my little Stormy is 1/2 Frenchie, so I’m going with the French Bulldog theory.)
