All occasion cards featuring layered backgrounds and a cute little school bus

I made quite a few large cards for my sister early this year and she recently received them through one of my other sisters who lives closer to her.  When I saw her last weekend she thanked me for the cards and I asked her if was still interested in cards.  She was surprised that there were any supplies left.  I ensured her there was plenty and more cards could be forthcoming.  She requested "school bus" cards!!  She owns several school buses and would like to use them for her business.  No problem!!  I downloaded several bus photos -she did not mind some cartoony ones - and printed off six of this one from Klipartz.  After sizing them, I printed off a sheet of six and then fussy cut them leaving a small white border.  Gives them the look of having been die cut!!  Very cool!!  Next, I made some large cards and decorated them with some of the papers from her stash!  It was fun to play and combine different fun papers, add some embossed and embellished strips of cardstock, some brads and even a few places where I punched out some chevrons!!  I have made them all without greetings so she can customize them when she is ready to use them.  I did not plan on having three of each orientation but that is how it worked out.  I will set them aside and print off a few more of a different little bus and get creative with them!!  What fun!!!    Therese
