Good Tuesday morning. I have a pillow box ornament with a winter window scene to share with you today and made using the Lawn Fawn Pillow Box die, Impression Obsession Deer Trio and Evergreen Trees. The window and frame were made using the Nesting Card Templates. I wish I had placed the whole scene on the back wall of the pillow box to create a mini diorama. Next time!
I started by cutting the pillow box, evergreen trees, deer and ground section. While the pillow box was unassembled I cut the window opening and frame and attached the frame to the opening with double stick tape. I used the negative of the evergreen tree and dauber to sponge in several silhouette trees with Peeled Paint ink on the blue background layer. The deer was colored using mini applicators, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks. I used a white gel pen to apply falling snow on the background and evergreen trees.
The pillow box scored lines were all folded and sharpened with my bone folder. I punched a 1/8” hole in the top fold of the box to place the ribbon hanger through. The ground piece was attached to the inside of the window with double stick tape. The scene layer was attached with thin strips of mounting tape and then the pillow box was assembled with double stick tape. The deer and trees were attached in the scene with mounting tape. Tiny green sprigs and 1/16” punched red circles were attached to the neck of the deer to finish.
This was really a very fast and easy project to make and I am looking forward to making several for gifts this season. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Pillow Box size: 4.00” x 2.50”
