Thoughtful Branches {Gypsy Wagon}

If you didn't happen to see my blog post yesterday, click here to see how I used the leaf canopy die from the limited time Thoughtful Branches bundle to make a very fall looking pumpkin. In an effort to continue to think outside the box with this amazing die/stamp combo, my first thought was a Cinderella coach made with the pumpkin idea. However, every since I saw an actual gypsy caravan a few years ago, I am completely enamored with the beautiful colors and artwork on the wagons. There were 3 of them in a line going down the side of the highway in front of the office I used to work at. So...one thing lead to another. The Cinderalla coach idea transformed in to making what I hope looks like a little gypsy wagon. 


I have used various stamps and dies to make this project. Everything is Stampin' Up! except for the tiny bead I used for the door handle. In addition to the Thoughtful Branches bundle, I used dies from Swirly Scribbles thinlits for the wheels. Dies from the lovely Umbrella Weather framelits  were used for other various pieces of the wagon. Can you pick them out? I used a small die from the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut the door. I also embossed the door with the Woodgrain textured embossing folder. I had a blast making this project and I hope you have enjoyed it! If you love the Thoughtful Branches bundle as much as I do, please do not delay in making your purchase. These will only be available through August 31 or until they are gone.

  8. OMG!!!!! What a beautiful card! My husband works for the Mouse, my husband loved your card also! He ask me to make about two dozen of these cards using Disney colors.
    I'm also a SU! demonstrator. I've not been a demonstrator for long. As you said it's a passion.
    I just really wanted to thank YOU so much for passion that led you to this beautiful card! Your talent is beyond measure!
