Die Cut Fall Tree Scene with Squirrels

Good Saturday morning.  I have a colorful die cut fall tree scene with squirrels to share with you today with a sneak peek at the new Rubbernecker Winter Tree die.  The tree is bare with no leaves and I will show it soon in a snowy scene with snow on the branches.  I paired the tree with Tiny Leaves, Picket Fence, Chicken and Squirrels, Grass Set and the background layer was made using the Nested Rectangle Scallop set.

Come see how I made this die cut fall tree scene with squirrels card.

The Tree and Leaves

  • Cut the tree using white cardstock and color with a walnut Copic marker.
  • Cut two sections of the maples leaves using glossy accents.
  • Apply Fired Brick, Peeled Paint and Spiced Marmalade inks to the leaves using mini applicators.
  • Gently form the leaves using  leaf tool from the Garden Tool Kit and molding pad.
  • Attach the leaves to the tree branches using glossy accents.
  • Apply sparkle to leaves using Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay pen.

Color the Squirrels

  • Cut the squirrels using white cardstock. 
  • Apply Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks using mini applicators.

Come see how I made this pretty die cut fall tree scene with squirrels card.

Assemble the Die Cut Fall Tree Scene and Squirrels

  • Cut the scalloped layer using blue cardstock.
  • Cut the grass sections using green cardstock.
  • Use the scalloped die to cut the front grass layer to create a matching scalloped edge.
  • Cut the picket fence section using white cardstock.
  • Attach the back grass section to the scalloped layer using double stick tape.
  • Attach the front grass section to the scene using a thin strips of mounting tape.
  • Tuck the tree in behind the grass and attach to the background using thin strips of mounting tape and rolled glue dots.
  • Tuck the fence sections in behind the grass and attach with thin strips of mounting tape.
  • Attach falling leaves in the sky area and tucked in around the grass and attach with glossy accents.
  • Attach the squirrels in the scene with pieces of mounting tape.

Come see how I made this lovely die cut fall tree scene with squirrels card.

I had lots of fun making this die cut fall tree scene with squirrels.  Coloring the tiny leaves is a bit labor intensive but well worth the effort.  I hope you enjoyed seeing my sneak peek of the tree and I hope you’ll check out the new Rubbernecker dies being released on Tuesday.  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend.

  4. This pretty autumn scene is so beautiful! I really like the way you have matted the scene on the scalloped background but it still overhangs the perimeter. The floating multi-coloured leaves are perfect.
    Thank you for sharing your work! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. 🙂
