There are some super cute items that can be made with Stampin’ Up’s matchbox die, but I think the one I saw this morning really takes the cake. Susie has two fabulous wagons on her blog — a red one and flower garden one — as well as an amazing baby carriage. I was blown away by these when I saw them! I don’t think she used the die to make them, but it sure works perfectly for it. Kristina Werner posted the colors for her 50th Color Inspiration, and as I was batting around ideas, my mind kept going back to these super cute wagons! This week’s colors are:

I made this wagon for Eve. It is just the perfect size to use with her Polly Pocket dolls. I used the smallest of the three tags on the matchbox die to put a little license plate on the back of the wagon. These would make super cute place cards at a child’s birthday party or baby shower. It coud pull small dolls or treats. I used one other cool trick that has been floating around on the Internet lately, which is to put a brad through a button. It’s a fun and different look!
