Swing Easel Card for Fancy Fold Friday - Shut the Door!

 
Seeing as my Swing Easel Card Tutorial  has proven SO popular for the last 2 weeks. (actually quickly shooting up to no 6 in my All Time Top 10 posts)  I thought I would have a go at another variant.... re-sized to suit my favourite Hearth & Home dies.
So here you have one resized with a narrower centre panel for the perfect front door to swing open and shut! (well more like up and down really!!).
My favourite trio of stamps and matching dies used again - Hearth & Home, Festive Fireside/ Fireplace and Peaceful Pines
And the gorgeous NOEL Label Bracket from a new Autumn Winter Catalogue hostess stamp - Antique Tags. Love this one!
The trees are dressed with Dazzling Diamonds glimmer behind the die cut holes to the left - and stamped with Versamark/Heat & Stick  plus Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the right... wish I had gone red - but hey - next time!
Now I know that a lot of you will be surprised to a Real Red front door on here.... but I will let you into a secret - last year all my ladies changed my white front doors to bright red ones for their Christmas cards.... so I thought I had better brighten things up a bit for them this year.... But don't worry - I am sure my next front door share will be white....
And last - but not least - spot the boughs under the NOEL tag - that is just a snippety snip of the Festive Fireside/Fireplace boughs and mount either side...

    Loved your tutorial on how to make the door using the home and hearth framelits. Anxious for you to share the tutorial for the swing easel card for it. Genious!
