Cosy Fireside

Morning Friends and Crafters, Today I am sharing two cards in one. The main card is made with the amazing Christmas Dimensionals from Crafters Companion. They really are inspirational and although I hate this phrase, the possibilities really are endless, if you can imagine it, you can make it come to life with these. Spending so much time on the inside really does mean that you have to make the outside look great too.

Tree Concept Die

Holy Vine Embossing Folder

Fireplace Accessories Acrylic Stamps

Tree Accessories Acrylic Stamps

12 x 12 Plain Paper Pad

12 x 12 Decorative Paper Pad

Centura Pearl for your Base

Step 1: I find the easiest way is to mark your scoreline with pencil first. Then secure the decoration to your scene. Once dry add your fireplace element. Then cut your fireplace a second time with Centura pearl and secure to the fireplace with Tacky glue.

Step 2: Cut the tree in green and secure to the back wall in your room. Then emboss a piece of cream card, this will make a nice rug, add some trim to coordinate with your decor.

Step 3: Stamp, Colour and cut out your extra elements, then add to your scene.

Step 4: Add the mirror, wreaths, baubles and tinsel to the tree, making it feel really festive.

Step 5: Cut out a selection of mat and layers, dependent on the finished size of your card.

Step 6: From the green, cut out the Ivy and the seasons greetings. Cut out the Seasons Greetings a second time in red and layer it up with Tacky glue to give a shadow behind.

Step 7: From the cream, cut out some poinsettias.

Step 8: Arrange and secure your decoration to the front of your card as shown in the photo.

Thank you ever so much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed the tutorial along with the finished card. Hope you will join me again very soon, to see what else I have to share. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx
