Simon Says Stamp Big Bus

Hello there, and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Big Bus from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. A perfect die cut for all of those back to school cards, and this one is a shaped card! Let’s go ahead and run through the details.

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by die cutting all of the elements of the bus from coordinating cardstock colors, meaning the bus was cut from yellow, the tires were cut from black, the wheels and bumpers were cut from matte silver cardstock, etc. Once I was finished with the die cutting, I did some shading on the bus and windows using Honey and Morning inks.

When die cutting the bus itself, I folded the yellow cardstock in half and did a partial die cut to create the shaped card. I assembled the bus with all of the cut elements, and added this Reverse Back to School sentiment strip with foam tape to finish up.

This really was a simple project to complete, and I just love that the card itself is the bus! I hope you enjoyed it as well. Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Simon Says Stamp Geometric Hello

Hello Crafty Friend and welcome back! Today’s project is featuring the new Mid Century Elemental Plate from Simon’s latest release, Happy Camper. I actually made several cards using this plate, but I think one is my favorite! Let’s run through the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by ink blending a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Seafoam and Lilac inks. I then ran the panel and plate through the die cutting machine, trying to keep the pieces in tact as much as possible. I placed some Press n Seal on the front of the panel and placed small pieces of foam tape on the back of the pieces.

I then removed the negative frame piece and placed that, along with the card base in the corner of the Misti to help with placement. I removed the backing from the foam tape and adhered the pieces to the card base and once again removed the negative frame piece when I was done.

The sentiment was cut once from gold cardstock, twice from Neenah, while the shadow portion was cut twice. Those were all adhered together and glued to the front of the card to finish up.

That does it for this project. I love the soft blend that I was able to get on this project, and the gold sentiment went perfectly! Don’t forget to check out the entire Happy Camper release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for joining me, and have an awesome day!
