Oct 10, 2019 | Christmas, Rubbernecker, Winter |
Today I’m sharing a shadow box winter scene card made using several die sets by Rubbernecker Stamps. This project is not quite as large and deep as the Gingerbread House Shadow Box card I posted a few days ago. I got my measurements a little off as well so the box is not quite as tall as I had intended. LOL! I used my favorite Splatter Background to stamp the falling snow on the box and inside layer and then forgot to stamp my trees before crimping them. The scene was made using the Wildlife Set, Globe Tree, Tabbed Birch Trees, Deckle Hills, Greenery #1, Small Birds and the frame opening was cut using the Nested Rounded Corner Rectangles. This whole card is a comedy of errors but I really love how the scene turned out.
The Shadow Box
- Stamp the blue cardstock using white pigment ink, apply white embossing powder and heat with heat gun.
- Create the shadow box by cutting the cardstock one inch wider and one inch taller than you want your box to be.
- Draw lines one inch in on all four sides of the cardstock.
- Cut the corners away from all four sides.
- Score lines at 1 inch and 1/2 inch all the way around the the card.
- Fold the scored flaps in all the way around the card,
Snow Layers
- Cut 4 white snow layers to fit the width of the inside and outside of the box.
- Apply one layer of mounting tape to the back snow layer and attach to the base.
- Apply three layers of mounting tape to the second layer of snow and attach to the base.
- Apply double stick tape to the front of the third snow layer and attach it to the inside on the frame.
- Apply a single layer of mounting tape to the front snow layer and attach to the front of the box.
- Insert the inside scene layer to the inside of the box and secure to the top and bottom flap using double stick tape.
- Finish closing the box by attaching double stick tape to the side tabs.
- Apply double stick tape all the way around the back of the box and secure it to the folded card base.
The Trees and Greenery
- Cut the evergreen trees using green cardstock and the birch trees using white cardstock.
- Apply touches of Pumice Stone ink to the birch tree markings using a mini applicator.
- Tuck the trees in behind the snow layers and attach in place using strips of mounting tape and glossy accents.
- Punch out 1/8 inch red circles and attach to the greenery using glossy accents.
- Tuck the greenery and berries in behind the snow layers and attach using glossy accents.
The Deer
- Cut the deer using white cardstock.
- Apply Antique Linen ink over the whole deer body using a mini applicator.
- Create the darker shading on the deer using Vintage Photo ink and a mini applicator.
- Tuck the deer in behind the snow layers and attach with pieces of mounting tape.

Good morning and welcome to my Throw Back Thursday Old Truck Winter Scenes post. I’ve been paper crafting for a long time and have watched the stamped image trends come and go over the years. But there are some that I’ve collected that are timeless and that I will always keep in my collection. One of my all time favorite images is the Rubbernecker Old Truck. I especially have a soft spot for this truck image as it was originally released several years ago in one of my Kittie Kits “Cause a Scene” sets. My first project today is a throw back to October 10, 2011. My second post is a throw back to January 5, 2018. You can click on the highlighted texts to hop over to the original posts.
The trucks for both projects were stamped with a black pigment ink and painted using distress reinkers. Both were stamped twice and cut out with the bodies layered over the tire sections to create dimension. The snow on the red truck scene was created using Polar White Flower Soft and Cosmic Glitter Glue. The snow on the rusty blue truck scene was crested using White Embossing Paste. I think both the Flower Soft and White Embossing Paste created a lovely dimensional snowy appearance.
I hope you have enjoyed my Throw Back Thursday Old Truck Winter Scenes projects. I had so much fun making them. You can click on the the links in the first paragraph to see the original posts with the full descriptions of how I created the scenes. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.

Oct 26, 2018 | Die Cut, Impression Obsession, Scene, Winter |
Good Friday morning. My card was made for day five of the Ellen Hutson Holiday Trends 2018: Holi-deer. I love creating white on white cards with bright touches of color. The Spotted Deer Frame images look so pretty in white with the red cardinals and the snow tipped pine sprigs.
The Deer Frame and Snow Layers
- Cut two sections of the Spotted Deer Frame using white cardstock.
- Cut the deer and moon off the frames and set aside.
- Cut the All-in-One Frame using white cardstock.
- Cut three snow layers with deckle scissors and white cardstock.
- Apply double stick tape to the back of the frame and attach one snow layer.
- Trim off the deer frame and attach it to the back of the frame.
- Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame.
- Cut the tree sections off the second deer frame and attach and attach them to the back of the mounting tape. I reversed the tree placement for the second set of trees so they would be offset from the first set.
- Attach the frame to the card base.
- Attach the front snow section to the frame using double stick tape.
Assemble the Deer, Pine Sprigs and Cardinals
- Cut the cardinals using red cardstock. Color the beaks using a black marker.
- Cut a few a couple sections of the pine sprig clusters, apply white gesso to the tips using a small brush and set aside to dry.
- Tuck the deer in behind the front snow layer and attach with pieces of mounting tape. I used a piece of double stick tape on the back of the deer to hold the die cut spots in place.
- Tuck the pine sprigs in behind the snow layer and around the deer and attach with glossy accents.
- Attach a tiny piece of sprig and 1/16″ red circles to the neck of the fawn using glossy accents.
- Finish by attaching the birds in the scene using small pieces of mounting tape.
Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card for the Ellen Hutson Holiday Trend 2018. Check out the Ellen Hutson 25% off holiday sale.

Sep 9, 2018 | Christmas, Die Cut, Essentials by Ellen, Scene, Winter |
“Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go”. I had so much fun creating this fun wintry holiday scene using the new Essentials by Ellen Over The River Stamp set and the coordinating Over The River Die set. There are so many fun scenic images in the set. There is nothing I like better than making a snow scene with a red truck hauling a Christmas tree home. I created a Christmas village snuggled in between evergreen trees and snow capped mountains in the background.
The Scene Images
-I started by stamping a couple sets of houses on watercolor paper using black Versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used Memento markers and watercolor brush to color the houses and I used the same basic colors on the whole community. I hand cut all the houses to eliminate the white borders.
-I die cut several evergreen tree groupings using green cardstock and then stamped the images using green ink. I heat dried the ink on the trees and then lightly sponged the trees using green ink to soften the image and used a brown marker to color the tree trunks. T
-The truck was stamped on red cardstock using the black Versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I hand cut the truck to eliminate the outline border. I used a craft knife to cut out the window. I cut one of the tree sections to create a single tree and attached in the truck bed using glue dots.
-I die cut several mountains using Kraft cardstock and applied white Nuvo Crystal Drops to fill in the tops to create snow caps. I set the mountains aside to dry.
-I created a falling snow background on a piece of blue cardstock using a white gel pen.
-I hand cut two snow layers using deckle scissors. I used a mini applicator and brown ink to create a road on the front snow layer.
Assembling the Scene
-I cut a red frame, applied double stick tape to the lower portion of the frame and attached the front snow layer. I applied double stick tape to the back of the first snow layer and attached the second snow layer.
-I applied thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attached it to the blue snow card base.
-I applied pieces of mounting tape to the back of the mountains and tucked them in place behind the snow layer.
-The houses were tucked in behind both snow layers and were attached with small pieces of mounting tape.
-Tree sections were tucked in behind the snow layers to fill in around the houses.
-The pickup truck was attached to the snow layer along with a couple tree sections.
For my project today I used a step by step format instead of a paragraph format. I would love to hear from you if you find this format easier to follow and if you would prefer this for my future projects.
Julie’s Over the River sets are so fun to use. There are so many possibilities to create holiday cards as well as all occasion scene cards. I have linked the sets that I used below along with a link that will direct you to the whole Essentials by Ellen new release. You will definitely want to check them out.

Sep 8, 2018 | Die Cut, Impression Obsession, Scene, Winter |
Good Saturday morning. I have a pretty card with a die cut snow scene with deer to share with you today made using the newly released Impression Obsession Spotted Deer Frame paired with Fir Trees and the Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames.
Coloring The Spotted Deer Frame
The Spotted Deer Frame comes with the tree branches, deer, cardinals and sun all attached together and cut out with one single piece of cardstock. I used white cardstock to the whole image and then cut the cardinals again using red cardstock and the sun using yellow cardstock. I used a walnut Copic marker to color the tree branches and Antique Linen and Vintage Photo ink to color the deer. I cut the red cardinals and sun pieces away from the branches and attached them over the branch base.
Applying White Embossing Paste to Images
I cut several fir trees using green cardstock. I applied white embossing paste to the trees using a small spatula and set them aside to dry. Next, I applied white embossing paste to the branches of the trees and set them aside to dry.
The Frame, Deer Frame and Snow Layers
I hand cut two white snow layers using my deckle scissors and cut the scalloped frame using red cardstock. I applied double stick tape to the lower portion of the scalloped frame and attached the first snow layer. Next I applied double stick tape all the way around the back of the frame, trimmed the Spotted Deer Frame to fit behind the scalloped frame and then attached it. I finished this step by attaching the second snow layer behind the deer using double stick tape.
Completing the Die Cut Winter Scene with Deer
I created a pale blue cloud scene on the white card base using Tumbled Glass ink, a cloud stencil and an ink blending tool. I attached the large fir tree to the card base using double stick tape on the lower portion of the tree and a small piece of mounting tape on the top of the tree. I applied thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the scene frame and attached it to the card base. I finished the scene by attaching smaller fir trees to the scene using pieces of mounting tape.
Thanks so much for coming by today and I hope you have enjoyed seeing my die cut snow scene with deer using Impression Obsession dies.

Dec 25, 2017 | Christmas, Cottage Cutz, Die Cut, Snow, Winter |
Good Christmas morning. I searched my files to find my all time favorite Christmas project made using the Cottage Cutz Mountain Lodge set and Rustic Sign and Trees set. I put lots of work into creating this snowy mountain lodge scene but it was well worth it. We have been having mild weather here in Florida with the highs in the low 80s and lows in the 50s. The only way I can dream of a white Christmas is to look back on all of my fun snowy holiday projects from the past.
Bob and I wish you all a very blessed and merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Here is a link to the original September 3, 2012 blog post with full description of how I made this wonderful snowy lodge scene.
