As I was combing through potential stamp and die sets, I remembered a favorite Stampin' Up cling rubber stamp set that retired years ago. It has a fun little scene that includes wheels. Take a look!
I stamped the image without its accompanying sentiment (in fact, I used my oldie but goodie red rubber scissors to trim it off) on a small panel of white cardstock. Before coloring, I used a cloud stencil and also added a bit of blue around the sides. I used a light hand so it's a bit hard to see in the photo. After the coloring was done, the panel was cut with a square postage die.
I found some cardstock that was close in color to the wagon and used a cover die that added a tulip piercing pattern and die cut little hearts. It was then cut with a postage rectangle die and added to the card base. A sentiment was stamped on the image square before mounting it on the card using foam tape. I thought a little enamel heart would look cute, carrying on the theme from the background, and found a wee yellow one that I added to the upper right corner.
There are so many possibilities with this theme, I hope you'll play along this week. Just remember to keep it clean and simple. My talented teammates have a variety of amazing examples, so I encourage you to use the link above and check it out. The challenge will remain open until 3pm EDT Friday 7/25.
Thanks for stopping by!

Adorable card, Stef! I have this old stamp as well but I don't believe I've ever used it. It's sooo cute! I love the coverplate die and your coloring. Thanks for sharing!
Awww, your little wagon is adorable and just makes me smile! This is a sweet card, Stef!
This is adorable! That cover plate is a perfect background for your fun little wagon! I love that we can perform "surgery" on our stamps to get more use from them, LOL!
As always, your coloring is amazing, Stef! The stenciled clouds really add so much. The vibrant blue cover plate is awesome. The yellow heart is the perfect touch. It's a fabulous card! Have a wonderful week!
