Vintage Wagon with Cutting File

I love the romantic, vintage look of this little wagon. The September Pazzles Challenge is to make something special that brings to mind the month of September.  For me, it is the county fairs here in Oklahoma.  I have always looked forward to the festivity of county fairs since I was a child.  The excitement of the exhibits, food, and carnival atmosphere is a joy that only comes once a year in September!  This little wagon brings to mind the many carnival wagons at the fair selling their wares and specialty food items.  I’ve also participated in the Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge #57 which is “Summer Flowers” as I have used tons of beautiful summer flowers from WOC.

I found the manual template for this vintage carnival wagon here, but am enclosing the WPC cutting file here and the SVG cutting file here for those with that capability. Just right click on the cutting file link to “Save File” on your com­puter.    Then open in your machine software.  The cutting file includes everything except for the fence which I downloaded from the Pazzles Library.   It’s important to use chipboard as a base for the wagon to provide stability.  Chipboard was used as a base for everything except for the roof, fence,  and the flower boxes.  I used Colorbok “whiteboard” which is somewhat thin with the approximate thickness of a credit card.  This cut very easily with just one pass with my Pazzles Inspiration using the chipboard setting.  You can then cut and apply decorative paper over the chipboard like I did.  The roof can be removed to reveal a nice sized box!  I used strong magnets for the cardstock/paper roof so that it would curve and attach perfectly to the sides.  Just remember to remove the roof carefully if you use magnets or the project could tear.  If you don’t want to use it as a box, you can just glue the roof onto the sides.

TIP:  Since there are no tabs on the stairs, I used a hot glue gun which worked great to quickly adhere the chipboard pieces.  I also used the hot glue gun to affix the cardstock fence to the chipboard front porch.

    This is absolutely stunning, I’ve never seen a wagon like this before and the detail is remarkable and should be proudly  placed on a shelf on for all to see..  I am so glad I stop in for a closer look.*

    Your creations are AWESOME! Could you tell me if this cutting file would work on either the Cricut or the Craft Robo please? Thanks x

      Hi Tracey,
      Thanks for your kind comment! The Pazzles Inspiration uses WPC file format. My understanding in that the Cricut uses cartridges so I am not aware of being able to use WPC cutting files with Cricut. At some point in the future, I plan on offering the cutting files on my projects in all the major file formats. Until then, I believe that there are conversion instructions available on the web to be able to convert CraftRobo files to WPC files. Thanks again! Tara

    Wow, all your creations make me wish I had a Pazzles! I do have a Cricut and cut SVG files but use the JPG or PDF files for a lot of downloads. Thank you so much for your files and these are gorgeous.

    Gorgeous ! Is it possible to have a SVG cutting file please ? thank you very much

      Hi Cynthia, Thanks for you sweet comment! I have a Pazzles Inspiration which uses WPC cutting files. I currently only provide WPC cutting files. Eventually, I would like to offer SVG for cutting files on my blog, but until then, you can probably find instructions on how to convert WPC to SVG on the internet. Have a good weekend!
