Die Cut Tree and Birdhouse Scene

Jan 17, 2019 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene, Trees | 3 comments

Good Thursday morning.  I have a bright and cheerful die cut tree and birdhouse scene to share with you today using several dies by Rubbernecker stamps.  I used the Winter Tree, Picket Fence, Bird House, Small Ivy, Flower Buds, Tiny Flower Buds, Tall Terracotta Pots, Small Birds, Flower Stems and Grass.  I really like all the red and green against the soft blue background. 

The Tree

• Cut the tree using Kraft cardstock.
• Swipe the Antique Linen ink pad directly to the tree to color and heat set.
• Cut six small ivy sections using green cardstock and color the branches using a Light Walnut Copic marker.
• Cut several sections of the individual leaves from the Small Ivy die using green cardstock.
• Attach the individual ivy leaves to the tree branches using glossy accents.
• Apply glossy accents to the small ivy sections and attach them to key spots on the back of the tree to create depth and fullness.
• Cut tiny flowers using red cardstock, form with the tiny tipped stylus and molding pad and attach to the branches using glossy accents.

Coloring the Flower Pots

• Cut the flower pots using yellow cardstock.
• Apply Wild Honey ink using a mini applicator to cover the flower pots.
• Apply Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo ink using mini applicators to shade and create the appearance of terracotta.

The Flower Arrangements

• Cut several sections of the small ivy.
• Cut the flowers using red cardstock.
• Form the flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
• Attach the ivy sections to the back of the pots using glossy accents.
• Attach the flowers to the ivy using glossy accents to fill in the arrangements.

The Birdhouse and Birds

• Cut the birdhouse using red cardstock.
• Cut the roof and and base sections using white cardstock.
• Attach the roof to the house using small pieces of mounting tape.
• Attach the base section to the house using glossy accents.
• Cut the birds using red cardstock and color their beaks using a black marker.
• Gently form the birds using the round tipped stylus and molding pad.

The Fence, Grass and Card Base

• Cut the blue scene base 5.00″ x 3.75″.
• Cut two sections of fence using white cardstock
• Cut one section of grass using green cardstock.
• Attach the main fence posts to the end of the fence using glossy accents.
• Trim the fence sections to fit the scene and attach to the base using mounting tape.
• Trim the grass section to fit the scene and attach using strips of mounting tape.

Assemble the Die Cut Tree and Birdhouse Scene

• Cut several tiny pieces of mounting tape and attach to the upper back sections of the tree.
• Apply double stick tape to the lower trunk portion of the tree.
• Tuck the tree in behind the fence and attach to the card base.
• Apply mounting tape to the back of the birdhouse and attach to the scene base.
• Apply small pieces of mounting tape to the back of the flower pots and tuck them in behind the grass.
• Apply tiny pieces of mounting tape to the back of the birds and attach them to the scene.
• Cut several flower stems and tuck them in behind the grass and attach with glossy accents.
• Finish by attaching ivy leaves and tiny flowers to the birdhouse.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my die cut tree and birdhouse scene card.  It was lots of fun to make.  Thank you for coming by and as always I appreciate your supportive comments.
