Your Wagon dimensions

Hi Everyone ~ I hope that today finds you well after the weekend!  It was nice to have a long weekend to spend with family AND have the weather on our side.  It was so beautiful this past weekend, and today is going to be hot.  Ugh...

I had been asked by a few if I could share the dimensions for the wagon that I made so I want to post those.  it was extremely easy.  If you've made anything before this is just your basic box.  But, if any of you want a tutorial please just ask and I'll work one up...  So here goes...

You will take a piece of card stock, preferably red, that is 4" x 5" and score it at 1" on all 4 sides.  Cut at the corners up to the 1" score line and assemble the box together.  For the handle I took a piece of black card stock that was 1/2" wide to form a "T".  I actually started it under the wagon about a 1/2" and taped it up the front of the box.  The wheels are 1" black circles and 1/2" white circles.  I added an eyelet to the center and adhered them to the box.  For the back of the wagon I used my Modern Label punch that I punched out a piece of black card stock and added from scraps to form the "license plate".

If you have any questions, please just ask.  If you'd like an actual picture tutorial let me know and I can work one up.

I'm not sure if I will be posting tomorrow or not ~ it's my special day...  And yes, I'm getting old...  Having a teenager who reminds you does not help.  So if I'm not here I will be back Thursday!

Have a super great day!

Paint your wagon

That's what I have for you today ~ a little red wagon.  I was thinking of things to make the other day and I wanted something to put cute little 3" x 3" note cards in and this popped into mind.  Isn't it adorable??  And when your cards are gone you can either make more or put little treats in it, paper clips, stamps - any little thing to keep on your desk.

The base of the wagon is Cherry Cobbler and I used Basic Black and some scraps.  The little note cards are made with Blue Bayou, Gable Green, Cherry Cobbler and some DP from Bo Bunny.  I tied some ribbon on each to dress it up a little bit.  If you notice the back of the wagon, I used my Modern Label punch and stamped the sentiment from The Angel Company Party Time set with black ink and attached it.  The wheels are made with Basic Black 1" circles with white 1/2" circles and I added an eyelet in the middle of them to jazz it up a bit.

Adorable huh??

I hope that each and every one of you have a safe and happy holiday weekend.  I'm sorry for the lack of posting this week, I've been busy with other things.  But I will see you back here next week!
