Die Cut Wildlife Tags

Good Wednesday morning. I am excited to announce the Rubbernecker Early Black Friday Sale. There are lots of dies and stamps on sale so if you have been keeping a wish list you are definitely going to want to hop over and check it out.  Today I’m sharing three masculine die cut wildlife tags perfect to use on presents for the guys in our lives.  I think these would look great on packages wrapped in Kraft paper and gingham ribbon.  I think rustic packaging is perfect for guys. 

The Frame and Snow Layers

• Cut the frames and deckle snow layers using white cardstock.
• Apply double stick tape to the back lower portion of the frame.
• Trim the snow layers and attach them to the back of the frame.

The Trees and Background Layers

• Cut the birch trees and background layers using white cardstock.
• Apply Pumice Stone ink to the bark edges of the birch trees using a mini applicator.
• Stamp the pine trees on one of the background layers using Peeled Paint ink.
• Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frames.
• Cut the large pine tree and pine tree forest using green cardstock.
• Attach the birch trees and pine trees to the mounting tape on the back of the frames.
• Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the trees and attach the frames to the background.
• Cut  the background layers using red cardstock and deckle scissors and attach them to the framed layers using double stick tape.

The Animals

• Cut the animals using white cardstock.
• Apply a layer of Antique Linen ink to cover the whole body of each animal.
• Apply shades of darker brown ink to the bodies using Vintage Photo ink.
• Tuck the animals in behind the snow layer and attach to the background using pieces of mounting tape.
• Check out my Coloring Die Cut Animals tutorial if you would like to see step by step photos of how I color animals.

The Greenery and Birds

• Cut the greenery using green cardstock.
• Apply white gesso paint to the tips using a small brush and set aside to dry.
• Tuck the greenery in behind the snow layers and attach with glossy accents.
• Cut the birds using red cardstock and apply black ink to the beaks using a Copic marker.
• Attach the birds to the scene using tiny pieces of mounting tape.
