Jan 15, 2020 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Trees |
Today’s birch tree die cut card only LOOKS like it took forever. Using a large, card front sized die cut, like this one from Rubbernecker, gives you a ton of dimensional interest with one turn through your machine. Then you can add details to your heart’s desire. Check out how I chose to build mine.
For my project I used Birch Forest, Grass, Bunnies, Flower Stems, Small Ivy, Tiny Flower Buds, Small Birds and 3 Pine Tree.
The Card Base, Cloud and Tree Background
- Cut an A2 sized light blue card base.
- Use white cardstock to cut a scene base to fit behind the tree panel.
- Create the cloud background using a cloud stencil, blender brush and Tumbled Glass ink.
- Stamp the pine trees using Shady Lane ink and heat dry.
- Attach the cloud and tree scene to the card base using ATG adhesive.
The Birch and Grass Layers
- Cut the birch tree panel using white cardstock and the two grass layers using green cardstock.
- Use a mini applicator to apply touches of Pumice Stone ink to the birch trees.
- Attach the tiny ivy leaves to the birch tree branches using glossy accents.
- Apply mounting tape to the back of the birch frame.
- Attach one grass layer to the back of the frame and then apply double stick tape to the back of the grass layer.
- Line the frame up over the scene and attach it to the base.
- Apply double stick tape to the back of the second grass layer and attach it to the front of the birch forest.
The Bunnies, Flower Stems and Birds
- Cut the bunnies using white cardstock.
- Apply Antique Linen and Vintage Photo ink to the bunnies using mini applicators.
- Attach the bunnies to the scene using pieces of mounting tape.
- Cut the flower stems using green cardstock and the tiny flowers using yellow cardstock.
- Attach the flowers to the stems using glossy accents.
- Tuck the flower stems in behind the grass layers and attach using glossy accents.
- Cut the birds using yellow cardstock and apply touches of Wild Honey ink using a mini applicator.
- Finish the scene by attaching the birds to the trees and grass using small pieces of mounting tape.
Now this is only one version of the kind of birch tree die cut card you can make – grab this awesome die and experiment! We tend to think of using the birch trees on winter cards.

Making a birch tree die cut card is lots of fun.
Jan 14, 2020 | Flowers, Rubbernecker, Spring |
Today I am sharing a super cute Welcome Spring card using a bunch of fun dies from Rubbernecker. It may seem a little early for a Welcome Spring card – I know some areas are still getting tons of snow and chilly weather – but the good thing is Spring always does arrive and this card can get your friend ready for the blooming season.
For this card I used the Wheelbarrow, Tall Terracotta Pots, Grass, Watering Can, Tall Buckets, Small Flowers #1, Tiny Flower Buds, Leaf Group, Small Ivy, Small Butterflies, Grass #2 and Rectangle Combo #4.
The Frame and Grass
- Cut an A2 sized card base using white cardstock.
- Use blue cardstock to cut the frame sections and green cardstock to cut the grass layers.
- Attach the two frame layers together using double stick tape.
- Cut the grass layer to fit in the frame and attach it to the double stick tape.
- Apply mounting tape to the back of the frame and attach it to the card base.
The Wheelbarrow, Bucket, Watering Can and Flower Pots
- Cut the wheelbarrow and bucket using gray cardstock and the flower pots using yellow cardstock.
- Apply Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge ink to the wheelbarrow and bucket using mini applicators to distress and age.
- Use Vintage Photo ink on the wheelbarrow handles.
- Apply Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge ink to the flower pots using mini applicators.
- Cut a watering can using aqua cardstock.
The Flower Pot Arrangements
- Cut the flowers using pink, purple and yellow cardstock.
- Form the flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
- Use green cardstock to cut the foliage.
- Cut the Leaf Group foliage sections apart and attach them to the back of the flower pots using glossy accents.
- Attach the flowers to the foliage in the flower pots using glossy accents.
- Use glossy accents to attach pre made white Nuvo Crystal drops to the center to the pink flowers. Note: I keep a supply of Nuvo Crystal Drops on a piece of craft sheet to have on hand for when I need them for flower centers, etc. Using pre made drops are so much cheaper than buying tiny white pearls.
Assemble the Scene
- Use glossy accents to attach the two buckets to the back of the wheelbarrow.
- Tuck the wheelbarrow in behind the grass layer and attach it to the card base using a piece of mounting tape.
- Apply mounting tape to the bucket, watering can and third flower pot, tuck them in behind the grass and attach to the card base.
- Cut Grass #2 using green cardstock and tuck them in behind the grass section and attach using glossy accents.
- Finish the scene by cutting small butterflies using aqua cardstock and attach them to the card base using glossy accents.
Think of those people who could use a breath of SPRING air and get them ready by sending this Welcome Spring card – you might even pop a little packet of flower seeds in there to get them excited!

It is so much fun to make a welcome spring card with flowers.
Jan 11, 2020 | Bicycle, Flowers, Rubbernecker |
Making this bicycle silhouette scene card was lots of fun and I love how it turned out. Sadly, I had a hard time getting good pictures to show off how beautiful the Carta Bella Home Again designer paper is. Originally, I made the scene with all white images and it was impossible to photograph. I hate it when that happens. So I decided to tuck in some green foliage and purple flowers to the basket and grass line and exchanged the white butterflies with purple butterflies. In the end I really liked it better with the changes. For this project I used the Rubbernecker Bicycle, Deckle Frame, Small Ivy, Tiny Flower Buds, Small Butterflies and Best Friends sentiment set.
The Card Base and Deckle Frame
- Cut an A2 sized card base and a 5.50″ x 4.25″ piece of designer paper.
- Apply ATG adhesive to the back of the designer and attach it to the card base.
- Cut the deckle frame using white cardstock and stamp the sentiment using Nocturne ink.
- Apply strips of mounting tape to the back and attach it to the card base.
The Bicycle and Basket of Flowers
- Cut the bicycle and basket using white cardstock.
- Attach the bicycle sections together using glossy accents and attach it to the card base using pieces of mounting tape..
- Cut the small ivy using green and white cardstock.
- Attach the ivy sections to the back of the basket using glossy accents.
- Use white and purple cardstock to cut the tiny flowers.
- Form the flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
- Attach the flowers to the ivy using glossy accents.
- Apply mounting tape to the back of the basket and attach it to the card base.
The Ivy Flower Border and Butterflies
- Tuck the ivy sections in behind the deckle frame and attach to the card base using glossy accents.
- Attach the tiny flowers to the ivy border using glossy accents.
- Cut the butterflies using purple cardstock .
- Attach pre made white Nuvo Crystal Drops to the butterflies using glossy accents.
- Finish by attaching the butterflies to the scene using glossy accents.
