F4A832 - Fruit

I have a few teachers in my family now, so keeping teacher‑themed cards on hand has become essential. For today’s card, I reached for a favorite Spellbinders die set that includes this charming apple. I cut all the pieces from coordinating scraps and layered them to build a cheerful little teacher scene.

The finished panel is set over a grey designer paper, then framed with yellow before being placed on a black card base for contrast. The bright colors bring great energy to the design and make the focal apple really stand out.

The Virtual Stamp Night on Splitcoaststampers.com starts tonight at 5:00 P.M. EST. We hope you come play along with us here: Virtual Stamp Night - Splitcoaststampers

CAS882 - Education

I always enjoy education‑themed challenges, especially since I have three teachers in my family and like to keep a few school‑related cards on hand. This fun image from Art Impressions is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. After coloring, I fussy cut the image and popped it up on dimensionals over a black cardstock panel.

The black panel is layered on brown cardstock to mimic the look of a chalkboard, and the birthday sentiment is embossed in white to complete the effect.

CAS864 - School Time

For my card, I pulled out this cute school bus that I picked up from one for $1. 

My sister is a school bus mechanic, and she loves when I make a few bus cards for her to give to the other mechanics and drivers.

I die cut it out of yellow, layered it on a diamond plate embossed black panel and finished with the bus and thanks popped up on dimensionals.

Drive Me Crazy

 

FS971 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Keri, aka stampinupconsultan. I found this fun INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the title of her card and just had to pull out this bus image. My mom picked this up for me and the stamp does not have a name on it.

I stamped the image, colored it with copics and layered the layers adding some ribbon to add additional interest.

Bus Christmas

 

IC990 - World Market and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

For my card, I used this die cut from Echo Park. Every year I make bus Christmas cards for my sister. This year's cards have mismatched mittens.

I layered the bus on a mitten paper and added the sentiment and a couple of mittens popped up on dimensionals.

Every year I used this bus die cut for Christmas bus cards for my sister who is a school bus mechanic. This year's bus includes mismatched mittens as I am sure they find lots of them on the bus every year.

Christmas School Bus

 

WT911 - cars and trucks and things that go

For my card I used my school bus die cut to create a few Christmas cards for my sister. She is a school bus mechanic and every year I make a new Christmas card with this die cut school bus for her to pass out to her co-workers.

This year I paired the bus with a string of Christmas lights and finished the front off with a bow.

I have made this bus for my sister for several years. If you would like to see some of the the variations of it you can check them out on my splitcoaststampers.com link HERE.

I needed to get a few more school cards made and these were super quick.

I die cut the layers, embossed the paper and glued down.

Thanks

MMTPT680 - School theme

Every year my sister asks for Christmas School bus cards. She is a bus mechanic and she gives these to hear bosses and some team members. This is this years card.

I cut the layers, popped the front of the bus on dimensionals and added some punched snowflakes.

I added the school to the front bumper and fished with the die cut Santa in the sky.
