Halloween Pumpkin Coach by Teri Calia

Filed under Art Projects, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Halloween, Newsletters, Teri Calia


Have yourself a good look at the Halloweenalicious Pumpkin Coach designed by Teri Calia!

Teri’s Pumpkin Coach starts out with a New! Carriage Chipboard Album and it’s pulled by an adorable rat (with a Top Hat decorated with a Tiny Clock Face Button and a plume)! If only the rat who is somehow sneaking into Mockingbird Manor at night and rummaging in our pantry was that cute! Unless it is a Walter Potter styled rat dressed up in his Sunday best ready for high tea or a fancy wedding; I can’t stand wild rats. But I digress!

Don’t you love the coach with the babe peaking out the window and the (I’m sure at one time) very handsome driver? The ornate seat Teri created for his bony bottom is fabulous and I am going to do some (grave) digging to find out how she created it since you KNOW I’ll be making a few of these myself. (Hint: the fancy back and sides are made from bits from the Fleur and Swirl Chipboard Set.)

Good thing the ENTIRE Halloween Section is still On Sale! because I’ll be ordering some goodies for my coach for sure.

Not only could you create a Halloween-themed coach but how about painting the rat white and having a holiday or Valentine-themed coach? Or scrap the rat and make a circus-themed coach being pulled by horses or elephants!

More photos of Teri’s coach are in the Gallery. But wait! Look down this post to see a related Giveaway you could win to create your own version of Teri’s Halloween Pumpkin Coach!
