Christmas fireplace card

Hi, Janja here!

Warm fireplace and laughter in the eyes are the words with which I describe the card that I share with you today.
Let's see how it is made.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 4.3 x 5.5" (11 x 14 cm), folded
- kraft cardstock: 3.9 x 5.2" (10 x 13 cm)
- patterned paper: 3.74 x 4.9" (9,5 x 12,5 cm)
- white and color cardstock

Trim and fold white cardstock in half for the card base. Place patterned paper on kraft cardstock and fasten both together on the card front. Stamp Marry Christmas on upper part of patterned paper.


Cut out all pieces from different colors of cardstock with the CottageCutz die - fireplace with accessories. Shadow them around the edges with Distress inks. Some pieces are small, so it is the best to compose them immediately together.
 


And as they say .... there's no smoke without fire .... yet a little smoke. 
With a brush apply Distress ink Iced Spruce on a white piece of watercolor paper. When it is dry, attach it to the back side of the fireplace.
 


Completed card.
 

And don't forget on our challenge #7 - fall. You still have time to share your projects with us. 

I hope you have enjoyed this card. Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

FIRE PLACE CARD WITH DETAILED DIE CUTTING

Hello friends !!

Happy Sunday !!!
It's Anita here with a very pretty card for you. CottageCutz store has such a wonderful collection of Christmas and Autumn dies. Some of them are so intricate that you can build some amazing festive themed scenes with them.
You might some of these dies very detailed and intricate , but as you build them up by colouring these or cutting them in coloured card stock.
So here is my card  followed by step by step detailed pictures as I build the layers.
Do try these dies and I'm sure you will love them.




The die cuts beautifully in one go!!!All the elements are grouped together. Example-All the elements of poinsettia flower basket are grouped in one left top corner. So you need not hunt for tiny die cuts. Try to keep all the die cuts attached to the paper and use them step by step as you proceed.


  I have started building the fireplace. Colour them with Zig Brush pens.


All the elements and layers of fire place coming together.








Cut a stitched wide rectangle frame and emboss it in basket weave embossing folder.




Cut the best wishes expression . Keep it attached to the card stock. Colour with Zig Brush pen. Adhere to the base.
The finished card measures 5 inches by 7 inches.
