Clean and Simple Pine Christmas Cards

Oct 14, 2018 | Christmas, Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Window Cards, Wreath | 7 comments

Good Sunday morning. I have two clean and simple pine Christmas cards to share with you today made using the new Rubbernecker Twigs die. For my first card I used the twigs to create a small pine wreath and paired it with the Window 4 Pane die and embellished the wreath with a bright red multi loop bow..

The Window and Card Base

Cut a piece of green designer paper 4.25″ x 2.75″ and attach it to the top of the card base using ATG adhesive.
Cut a piece of white card stock 4.25″ x 3.00″, score it every .25″ across the paper using your Scor-Pal and attach to the card base using ATG adhesive.
Cut two windows using white cardstock.
Use the window as a template to draw cut lines on the card base.
Cut the opening on the card base using your craft knife. Cut about 1/8″ outside the drawn cut lines.
Apply mounting tape to the back of the window and attach over the front opening of the card base.
Apply ATG adhesive to the back f the second window and attach it to the inside opening of the card base.

The Wreath

Cut a circle wreath base using green cardstock.
Cut several sets of the Twigs.
Trim off the top half of the twigs to make small enough for this wreath size.
Attach the twigs to the wreath base using glossy accents. Alternate the the direction of the twigs, one left, one right and one center and continue all the way around the wreath.
Create a multi loop bow and attach it to the wreath using glue dots.
Attach the wreath to the lower window using glossy accents.
You can check out my wreath video and step by step tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.

My second card paired the Twigs with the Borders #3. I created a pine twig bough on the pretty white layer and embellished it with a red multi loop bow.

The Scalloped Layer

Cut the Borders #3 using white cardstock.
Attach the layer to the card base using strips of mounting tape.

The Pine Twigs Bough

Cut several sets of the Twigs die using green cardstock.
Begin attaching twigs in the center of the white layer using glossy accents, alternating the twigs left and right to create the the bough base.
Trim off the bottom third of several twigs and attach them to fill in over top of the base to create a full bough.
Create a multi loop red bow and attach to the bough with glue dots.

I had fun making these die cut pine Christmas cards. As much as I love creating detailed scene or floral projects with lots of part and pieces, it is always nice to make several clean and simple cards to have on hand for those last minute card needs. Today is the last day of the Rubbernecker sale. Be sure and check out all the new dies that I have used over the last several posts. Thanks so much for coming by.

Die Cut Window and Adirondack Chair Scene

Oct 13, 2018 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene, Window Cards | 3 comments

Good Saturday morning. I have a die cut window and Adirondack chair scene card to share with you today along with a simple framed Adirondack chair scene card. The first scene was made using the new Rubbernecker Window 4 Pane, Beach Chairs, Tree Panel #2, Leaf Group, Flower Buds, Tiny Flower Buds and Small Birds.

The Double Window and Base Card Opening

Cut two windows using white cardstock.
Cut off the left side of one window and the right side of the second window.
Turn the windows face down, line them up and attach them together using double stick tape.
Cut a thin strip of cardstock and cover the double stick to secure the attached windows.
Place the two attached windows on the card and use the inside of the windows as a template to draw cutting lines on the base.
Cut the opening on the card base using a craft knife.
Apply strips of mounting tape all the way around the back side of the window and set aside.

The Cloud Background and Tree Branch

Cut a piece of white cardstock 5.00″ x 3.75″.
Create a cloud background using a cloud stencil, Tumbled Glass ink and an ink blending tool.
Cut the tree panel using green cardstock, cut a main branch section off the panel and attach it to the inside opening of the card base using glossy accents.
Attach thin strips of mounting tape all the way around the front of the cloud base and attach it over the opening on the inside of the card base.
I believe the Papertrey designer paper I used on the card base is retired.

Complete the Die Cut Window and Adirondack Chair Scene

Cut a beach chair and small birds using blue cardstock.
Cut flower buds and tiny flower buds using pink cardstock.
Cut a section of the leaf group using green cardstock.
Form all the flowers using a tiny tipped stylus and molding pad.
Attach the tiny flowers to the tree branch using glossy accents.
Attach the chair to the blue card base using tiny strips of mounting tape.
Cut the leaf group sections apart and attach them on both sides of the3 chair and window opening using glossy accents.
Attach the larger flowers to the leaves using glossy accents.
Attach the birds to the scene using small pieces of mounting tape.
Finish the card by placing the window over the scene and attaching to the card base.
Hint: I kept placing the window over the opening as I attached the chair, foliage and birds to make sure they would be seen well when the window was attached.

My second card was made using the Rectangle Combo #2, Beach Chairs, Grass, Leaf Group, Flower Buds and Small Birds.

The Framed Adirondack Chair Scene

Cut the chair using white cardstock.
Cut the rectangle frames using white cardstock.
Attach the two frame sections together on the back using double stick tape.
Attach two sections of grass to the back of the frame using double stick tape.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and grass and attach it to the card base.
Tuck the chair in behind the grass and attach it with thin strips of mounting tape.
Cut the flower buds and birds using red cardstock.
Form the flowers using a tiny tipped stylus and molding pad.
Cut a leaf group using green cardstock and cut the leaf sections apart to create several branches.
Tuck the leaf sections in behind the grass and frame and attach using glossy accents.
Attach the flowers to the leaves using glossy accents.
Finish the scene by attaching the birds using small pieces of mounting tape.

I hope you have been inspired by my die cut window and Adirondack chair scene cards. I had lots of fun making them. Have you checked out the Rubbernecker sale yet? The sale ends tomorrow. I sure do appreciate you coming by and I hope you have a great weekend.

I couldn’t resist adding this fun birthday card to my post. I used the same color combination as my first card along with the new Circle Background with Stitch, Nested Rectangle Scallop with Holes, Nested Rectangle with Rounded Corners and Best Friends.

The Circle Background and Sentiment

Cut the circle background once with white, blue, yellow and green.

Die Cut Window Scene

Oct 9, 2018 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Window Cards | 4 comments

I have a clean and simple die cut window scene card to share with you today using the new Rubbernecker Window 4 Pane, Small Ivy and the Tiny Flower Buds. I created the indoor scene looking out the window to the ivy and flowers growing around the outside of the window. I made a simple cloudy blue sky background for the outside of the window. The designer paper is from a retired Papertrey pattern pack.

The Wainscoting and Paper Background

Cut white cardstock 4.25″ wide and score every 1/4″ inch across to create the wainscoting.
Cut a piece of designer paper 4.25″ wide and attach it to the card base using ATG adhesive.
Apply ATG adhesive to the wainscoting and attach to the card base and overlapping the designer paper.

The Window

Cut the window using white cardstock.
Cut a 1/4″ strip of white cardstock and run through the crimper.
Use the window as a template to draw cutting lines on the card base.
Cut the window opening using a craft knife.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the window and attach it over the opening.
Apply double stick tape to the back of the 1/4″ strip of cardstock and tuck it under the window and attach it to create a chair rail to cover where the white and blue paper meet..

The Ivy and Flowers

Cut a few sets of the ivy using green cardstock and a set of the tiny flower buds using blue cardstock.
Trim off the stems of the ivy to fit inside the window.
Apply glossy accents to the ivy pieces and attach to the inside opening of the window.
Form the tiny flowers using a tiny tipped stylus and molding pad.
Apply glossy accents to the tiny flowers and attach them to the ivy.

The Cloudy Sky Background

Cut a piece of cardstock large enough to cover the inside opening of the window.
Apply blue cloud background using a cloud template, Tumbled Glass ink and an ink blending tool.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape around the window opening and attach the blue sky background.

I love to make die cut window scene cards. Whether it is creating an indoor scene looking out or and outdoor scene looking in. They are both equally fun to make. I hope you have been inspired to pull out your window dies and see what you can come up with. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.

Cut a piece of designer paper 4.25″ x 3.00″ and a piece of white cardstock 4.25″ x 2.75″.

The See Through Window Scene and Trim

Cut a window using white cardstock.

Cut two white snow ground sections using the ground dies.
Cut two sets of evergreen trees.
Attach a piece of blue polka dot cardstock to a piece of white cardstock to create the sky background.
Attach the two snow sections to the blue background using double stick tape.
Attach the background scenery to the inside opening of the card using strips of mounting tape.
Tuck the trees in between the snow layers and attach in place with small pieces of mounting tape.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the window and attach it over the front opening.
Cut a strip of cardstock 1/4″ wide and run through the crimper to create a chair rail section and tuck in behind the window and attach with double stick tape.
Cut a strip of cardstock 1/2″ wide and run through the crimper to create a baseboard section and attach along the floor line with a piece of double stick tape.

The Presents

Secure designer paper and package stamps in the MISTI and stamp using black versafine.
Apply clear super fine embossing powder and heat with heat gun.
Cut out the packages using snips, arrange on the card base and attach with pieces of mounting tape.

Thanks so much for coming by and I hope you you have enjoyed seeing my card made using the Winter Window and Holiday Shopper Lady set from the new Essentials by Ellen October release.

New Rubbernecker Dies

Sep 30, 2018 | Die Cut, Fall, Leaves, Rubbernecker, Window Cards | 5 comments

Good Sunday morning. I have two pretty cards to share with you today using brand new Rubbernecker dies. The first card has a see through window with a flower box full of ivy and flowers. I used the 5157D Window 4 Pane, 5160-02D Borders 2, 5162-02D Large Ivy, 5160-03D Small Ivy, 5147-09D Flower Buds and 5147-10D Tiny Flower Buds.

The Card Base

Cut a 4.25″ x 2.75″ piece of purple cardstock and attach to the white card base using ATG adhesive.
Cut 8 4.25 x .50″ pieces of card stock.
Start at the bottom of the card base and attach the first strip of cardstock using ATG adhesive.
Continue attaching the strips all the way up the card base until you reach the purple layer.

See Through Window

Cut two windows, one for the front and one to cover the opening on the inside.
Cut one flower box.
Use the inner window openings as a template to draw cut lines on the card base.
Cut the window opening 1/8″ outside the template lines using a craft knife. You may have to cut each section a couple of times to get through the layers of cardstock.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of one window and attach it over the opening.
Cut 2 1.00″ wide decorative drape sections using the Borders 2 die and run them through the crimper to add dimension.
Apply 1/8″ double stick tape around the inside window opening and attach the drapers leaving an opening to see through.
Apply double stick tape to the back of the second window and attach it on the inside to cover the drapes and opening.
Attach the flower box to the window using a piece of mounting tape.

The Ivy and Flowers

Cut two sections of flower buds and one section of tiny flower buds.
Cut three sections of large ivy and 2 sections of small ivy.
Form the flowers using a stylus and molding pad.
Arrange and attach the large ivy in the window box using glossy accents.
Tuck the smaller pieces of ivy in behind the larger ivy to appear going up the window and attach with glossy accents.
Attach the flowers to the ivy using glossy accents to fill in the arrangement and complete the scene.

The Tree and Leaves

Use Kraft cardstock to cut the tree panel and cut one section of the tree off.
Trim off the branch sections away from the frame.
Apply Antique Linen and Vintage Photo ink directly on the tree using the ink pads.
Wipe the tree lightly with a wet baby wipe to blend the ink and then heat dry.
Cut three section of the maple leaf portion of the tiny leaves die using white cardstock.
Color the leaves using Fired Brick, Peeled Paint and Spiced Marmalade inks and mini applicators. (I was going to try and color each tiny leaf with all three colors but decided I liked the boldness of the single color on each)
Attach the leaves to the tips of all the branches to fill in the tree. Cut off the lower two branches and attach them with glossy accents to the upper portion of the tree to fill. This will leave a large enough opening under the tree for the grass and wagon.

The Wagon and Leaves

Cut the wagon out in red and cut the wheels in black.
Attach the wheels to the wagon legs using glossy accents.
Cut a rounded piece of scrap cardstock and attach a base of leaves to cover it using glossy accents.
Apply double stick tape to the leaf section and attach it to the wagon.

Frame the Scene

Cut the rectangle frame.
Cut two grass sections.
Apply double stick tape to the bottom back of the frame and attach the first grass section.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame.
Attach the second grass strip to the back of the frame. apply double stick tape to the back of the grass and then attach the whole frame to the card base.
Apply 1/8″ double stick tape to the trunk of the tree and tiny pieces of mounting tape to the back of a few keys leaves and attach the tree in the scene.
Tuck the wagon in behind the grass and attach with a piece of mounting tape.
Attach the wagon handle to the wagon and frame using glossy accents.
Finish the scene by attaching a falling leaves in the sky area using glossy accents, and adding a few more leaves on the wagon and several in the grass.
Use a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to add sparkle and shine to all the leaves.

I had so much fun playing with these new Rubbernecker dies. I hope you enjoyed seeing my projects with them today and that you’ll take some time to get crafty.
