Fireside Trimmings

 Hello again

I did promise to show you behind the blue door.....

I have been longing for a fireplace stamp set for absolutely ages,

And SU did not disappoint with  Fireside Trimmings, so I have had lots of fun making up scenes.

I do love itty bitty things, always wanted a dolls house, but that didn’t happen.

You’ve probably heard the saying about little things.....

well this does please me, I don’t mind admitting it.

I used the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (so many wonderful images, I may need another pack)

to give a wallpaper/ carpet feel, then I stamped a fireplace on one that's like tiles.

After playing around, I decided to try a Tri-Fold, cutting an A4 in half longways,

then scoring at 10cm.............the last section, being a tad smaller, makes it all fit and fold really well.

Easy peasy!

This is up for the most boring photo award :)

showing the inside..........below,........... before sentiment sheet added

a close-up.....

It was only seeing someone else's creation, that I realised what I thought was a twig/branch,

was in fact the fire basket/grate! ...............I laugh at myself a lot, (like when I put the kettle in the fridge....oh have you not done that yet?!)..........I had got out my old craft knife and carefully cut the inside of the fire out, so I could place another paper behind...........then discovered the "sentiment" rectangle,.................was in fact......to cut the back out!.........Numpty!

Still, at least the next set of cards will be easier!

Have a good weekend

Stay Safe

Keep Crafting
