For Spring, you can never have too many handmade card ideas with wagons!

I’ve created lots of handmade card ideas with wagons because a wagon is such a relatable design element. From Winter to Fall, from the beach to Spring, there are so many ways a cute wagon can be incorporated into a design. This new Kids Wagon die has loads of details and it’s so easy to put together! Want to see all the inside scoop?

Card Base, Frame, Fence, and Clouds

• Use white cardstock to cut an A2 sized card base and light blue cardstock to cut a 4.50″ x 3.25″ sky background.
• Attach the light blue sky layer to the card base using double stick tape.
• Cut the Picket Fence and Slimline Clouds using white cardstock and green cardstock to cut the Grass.
• Attach the grass section and fence section to the back of the frame using double stick tape.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attach it to the to the card base.
• Attach the trimmed 5.25″ wide cloud section to the top of the frame using double stick tape.

Flower Pots, Flowers and Stems

• Cut the Tall Terracotta Pots using bright yellow cardstock.
• Apply a layer of light orange ink shading using a mini applicator.
• Use darker orange and brown inks and mini applicators to add shading but allow the lighter shade show in the middle of the pot.  Pro Tip:  You can see my video on how to How to Add Dimension to Terracotta Pots if you would like to see how I colored the pots.
• Use green cardstock to cut the Flower Stems and pink, yellow and purple cardstock to cut the Small Flowers #4.
• Place the small flowers on the molding pad and push down in the center using a small tipped stylus. 
• Apply glossy accents to the back of ten flowers and attach them to the green stems.
• Use glossy accents to attach the tiny white circles to the flower centers.  Pro Tip:  I save all the negative circles from when I cut eyelet dies.  They make the perfect centers for flowers and are way less expensive (free) than buying gems or pearls. 
• Attach one flower and stem to the back of each of the five flower post using glossy accents and set the remaining stems aside.

Kids Wagon and Scene Accessories

• Use aqua, gray, black and yellow cardstock to cut the Kids Wagon and aqua cardstock to cut the Watering Can.
• Assemble the wagon axels and wheel sections together using glossy accents.
• Attach the axel and wheel sections to the back of the wagon using strips of mounting tape.
• Apply a strip of mounting tape to the top back portion of the wagon and attach three pots.
• Attach two additional flower pots to the back of the front row of pots using glossy accents.
• Apply a wide strip of mounting tape to the back of the wagon and pots and attach to the grass and fence.

Finish the Card

• Use yellow cardstock to cut the Sun Moon sections and attach together using glossy accents.
• Trim off the top portion of the sun to fit under the clouds and attach it to the card base using mounting tape.
• Tuck the remaining flower stems in behind the grass section and attach using glossy accents.
• Use purple cardstock to cut a Small Butterfly and attach it to the scene base using glossy accents.
• Apply a piece of mounting tape to the back of the watering can and attach it to the frame and grass.

I have 694 scene cards in my Scene Category if you would like more inspiration for creating die cut scenes.
