Mar 14, 2018 | Die Cut, Easter, Rubbernecker, Scene, Spring |
I have a die cut Easter Bunnies, Ducks and Birds card to share with you today. I love how fresh the yellow and aqua color combination is and how it allows all the images in the scene to pop. All the pieces on my card were made using Rubbernecker dies. The yellow layer was made using the 5023D Nested Rectangle w/Pierce Die and the oval frame was made using the 5024D Nested Oval w/Pierce Die and 5004D Nested Oval Die. The foliage for the scene was made using the 5126D Tree Panel # 1 Die and the flowers were made using the 5114D Mini Flower Stack Die. The critters were made using the 5142-01D Bunnies Die, 5142-02 Ducks Die and 5142-05D Birds Die.
The first thing I did was cut the rectangle layer with the oval opening and attached it to the card base using mounting tape. I cut the oval frame and attached two hand cut grass layers to the back of it using double stick tape. The frame was attached over the yellow layer using mounting tape. The tree panel was cut out a couple of times and cut apart into smaller sections. The bunnies were cut using white cardstock and were colored using Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks and mini applicators. The ducks were cut using yellow card stock and were colored using Wild Honey ink and a mini applicator. I cut the flowers and birds using the aqua cardstock to match the frame. You can check out my Coloring Die Cut Animals step by step tutorial if you would like to see how I colored my bunnies and ducks .
I could have used the whole tree panel in the back ground of my scene but I wanted to create a smaller scene with the animals. I thought it would look pretty to have the vines tucked in around them. I formed the flowers using my Garden Tool Kit stylus and molding pad and attached them to the vines using glossy accents. Then I tucked the vines in behind the frame and grass layers and attached with glossy accents. The bunnies, ducks and birds were attached to the scene base and frame using mounting tape. I attached small pre made white Nuvo Crystal drops to the flower centers using drops of glossy accents. I added tiny flowers and leaves to the necks of one duck and bunny for the finishing touch.
Thank you so much for coming by. I had lots of fun making this project and I hope you have been inspired to create your own die cut Easter bunnies, ducks and bird card.

Making die cut window scenes with flowers is so much fun for me. I usually use lots of additional die cut scenery images that create a detailed dimensional scene. But there is something so pretty about a window with flowers against a clean and simple background. My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple Challenge to create a card with a colorful background. I thought yellow was the perfect spring color to use with the addition of the green foliage and colorful flowers. I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Carolina Windows and Shutters paired with Impression Obsession Foliage and Tiny Flowers.
I began by apply strips of mounting tape to the scalloped layer and window and attached them to the card front. The window box was made using the two shutters from the set. I laid one over the top of the other until I had exactly the width that I wanted and then cut them right down the middle. I tossed the two left over pieces of shutters, turned the two pieces with the rounded sides face down, secured them in place with double tick tape. I applied mounting tape to the back of the window box (shutters) and attached it to the card base at the base of the window.
The foliage pieces were cut apart to create several branches. I used one long piece of foliage to hide the seam where the two sections of shutters were attached together and you’d never know it wasn’t one full piece. I always look for different ways to use my dies. I filled in the window box with foliage and flowers and attached them with glossy accents. The window box of flowers made the card front a little bottom heavy so I inserted a few birds in the scene to draw the eye up for the finishing touch.
Thanks so much for coming by today. I hope you have been inspired to make your own version of a clean and simple die cut window scene with flowers for Easter, Mother’s Day or a Birthday card.

Feb 18, 2018 | Die Cut, Flowers, Frame, Impression Obsession, Scene, Spring |
I had so much fun this morning making this handmade garden scene with die cut birds and flowers. I had all of these dies left left over on my desk from making my Impression Obsession challenge card this past week and thought I would make another spring scene framed in all white and using all pink flowers with a pretty soft blue background. I used the Bride and Groom Frame, All-in-One Frames Rectangles 2, Grass Border, Small Grass Border, Foliage and Tiny Flowers.
I started by cutting the bride and groom frame in white, cut off the bridge and groom and colored the branches and leaves with Memento markers. The tree frame was trimmed a little to fit behind the front frame and attached with double stick tape. I added the grass border to the back of the frame with double stick tape. I applied Tumbled Glass ink to the background layer using an ink blending tool and added a few clouds using a cloud stencil. The blue background layer was attached to the back of the frame with double stick tape and then the whole frame and scene was attached to the card base using mounting tape.
The tiny pink flowers are formed using the stylus from my Garden Tool Kit and a molding pad and attached to the branches using glossy accents. The front grass border was attached to the frame using thin strips of mounting tape. The chair was attached to the card base using mounting tape. I cut the foliage sections apart, attached the tiny flowers using glossy accents and then tucked the foliage branches in behind the grass and attached with glossy accents. I added several birds to the branches and sky area for the finishing touch.
Thanks so much for coming by today. I hope you enjoyed seeing my handmade garden scene with die cut birds and flowers and that you’ll get busy and make one of your own.

Feb 4, 2018 | Card, Easter, Flowers, Impression Obsession, Scene, Spring |
I never tie of making an Easter Bunny spring scene with flowers. Framing the scene with a decorative frame adds a touch of elegance for the whimsical scene. My project today was made using Impression Obsession Bunny Set, Ornate Square Frame, Grass Border, Small Grass Border, Tiny Flowers, Butterfly Set and Leaves and Stems.
The first thing I did was attach the inner square cut frame to the Ornate Square Frame using double stick tape. Next I attached the Small Grass Border and Grass Border to the back side of the frame using double stick tape. I cut a piece of white cardstock 2.5″ square and applied Tumbled Glass ink with an ink blending tool to create a soft blue sky background for the scene. I applied thin strips of mounting tape around the back of the frame and attached the blue sky layer. Double stick tape was applied to the back of the scene and frame layer and then I attached it to the 4.5″ square card base.
The bunny was colored using a mini applicator and Antique Linen and Vintage Photo ink. The Tiny Flowers were formed using the stylus from my Garden Tool Kit and a molding pad. The flowers were attached to the Stems with glossy accents and then tucked in behind the grass using glossy accents. I gently rounded the bunny body with my fingers and attached him in the scene with a piece of mounting tape. One butterfly was added to the top of the frame to draw the eye up balance the bottom heavy scene.
Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have enjoyed my Easter Bunny spring scene card with flowers.

Good Monday morning. I have a fun garden scene project to share with you today using the new Impression Obsession Garden Furniture paired with the Wrought Iron Fence, Window with Shutter, Grass Border, Leafy Branch and Tiny Flowers.
I started the scene by attaching a double layer of grass border to a thin strip of cardstock with double stick tape. I applied another layer of double stick tape to the back of the grass border and attached it to the bottom of the card base. I cut two strips of designer paper for curtains, crimped them and attached to the back of the window with double stick tape. The window was then attached to the card base with double stick tape. I wanted the open gates to be an invitation into the scene. I cut a small amount off both sides of the gates so make them fit the scene. I cut thin strips of cardstock to attached to the sides of the gates and then attached them both to the card base with double stick tape. The table and chair were set in place and attached with rolled glue dots.
I used my stylus and molding pad to form the tiny flowers and attached them to the leafy branch piece and along the grass border with glossy accents. I applied rolled glue dots to several key spots on the back of the branch and attached it to the window and card base. Looking at this now as I write my post I wish I had added a couple butterflies. They would have been a perfect finish. Oh well….next time!
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great week.

Apr 23, 2017 | Die Cut, Flowers, Frame, Impression Obsession, Lawn Fawn, My Favorite Things, Scene, Spring |
Good Sunday afternoon! I have a sweet bunny scene to share with you today made using the Impression Obsession Sunny Bunnies Stamp Set and Sunny Bunnies Die Set. I created a scene around the bunnies using the Foliage set , Small Grass Border, the Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside Pop-Up, tiny flowers made using the Fiskars 1/4” Flower Punch and framed the scene using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames and Mini Scallop Rectangle Stax.
I started by attaching the Small Grass Border and Grassy Hillside to the back of the frame using double stick tape. I attached mounting tape to the back of the frame and attached it to the scalloped layer. I created the double matted frame using the largest scalloped frame in the set and a Spellbinders Nestabilities Matting Basics A.
I used my MISTI to stamp the images on hot pressed watercolor paper using black versafine. I stamped each of the images a few times so I could cut some of the main pieces to paper piece to create dimension. Sadly my paper piecing doesn’t really show well in the photos. I used Distress reinkers to watercolor the images by placing a small dot of ink into the lid of the matching ink pad. I paper pieced the head ribbon, yellow collar and arm of the girl bunny and the yellow and blue jacket of the boy bunny. I attached the pieces with rolled up glue dots. These sweet images are pretty small for a full sized card so I took a closer view so you can get a good look at how cute they are.
I cut the foliage sections and hand punched several of each colored flowers. I used my small tipped stylus and molding pad to form the flowers and attached them to the foliage sections with glue dots. I tucked the foliage sections in behind the grass layers and attached them with glossy accents. I attached both images to the card base using mounting tape.
I have gotten several of the Impression Obsession coordinating stamp and die sets. I am so happy that I have my hand held Dremel to make fast work of filing down the sharp edges of the dies once they are cut apart. I have mentioned the Dremel several times over the last couple of years but thought I’d mention it again. If you don’t have one of these wonderful tools and you use lots of dies then you will definitely want to add it to your wish list.
Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a great week.
