Fireplace Christmas Card


Hello my crafty friends. Today I'm sharing a card sharing Karen Burniston's new Fireplace Pop Up and Extra's 1 & 2. I created a FLAT card rather than a Pop Up card to show how versatile this die is! My card today is 5 x 6" and fits in a 5 x 7" envelope for mailing.

I pulled out some really, really old patterned paper from my stash and I loved the vintage feel of it. I also used some pale woodgrain patterned paper and small bits of patterned paper behind the frames adding acetate to resemble glass. The swag and wreath (and stockings) were all cut from scraps of patterned paper from the pad and I inked the edges with a dauber & dye inks. I also added some Peel Off stickers (Glitter Dots) for some shimmer and shine but it's hard to catch that in photos.


In the photo below, you can see the shine from the acetate behind the frames and hopefully the Glitter Dots show up a little better on the wreath & swag. The Santa boots are designed to swing from the top of the fireplace, but I adhered them down with foam tape for this card.


Here is a peek at the inside, with a stamp by Taylored Expressions.
