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.

More Swirly Bird & Swirly Scribbles (Bundle)

I'm having so much fun playing with the Swirly Bird stamps & Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. It is quite easy to create a pretty artsy looking card with very little effort. This card was inspired by a card I had pinned last fall on Pinterest using similar dies, but a different combination of colors. All products Stampin' Up!

Flirty Flamingo. Say it. Doesn't it make you want to giggle? Even a little? It is one of the new In Colors and I think it mixes quite well with Basic Gray. Add in the crispness of the Whisper White cardstock and you have a winning combination. The sentiment is from the polymer stamp set called Lovely Amazing You. I seem to use the sentiments quite often from that set. 

Supply List:

Please use the hostess code shown in the top right corner when ordering online, unless your order will total $150 before shipping & tax. At that point, you become your own hostess and get all the rewards! Remember, if you choose "no contact" from the demonstrator, I'm unable to see your name or send you a thank you note. 

As always, let me know if you have any questions about the project or the products used. Thanks for visiting my blog.
