Cut the Festive Farmhouse papers as per the background scene papers in the Tutorial... Note that these 2 stove versions are just using the 2 sides of the same piece of paper...
The hearth front is just a 1/2" x 15.5cm (6 1/8") high strip of the wood effect Farmhouse Christmas paper stuck to a piece of 1/2" x 15.5cm (6 1/8") high piece of Grey Granite card for strength
But add a 5.5 x 8.5cm (2 1/8" x 3 3/8") Whisper White panel, scored when PORTRAIT at 1cm (3/8") from either side. This forms the top of you hearth (and is instead of those centre/box panels at the bottom) and is stuck to the card at the centre/back.. so that the hearth top and front lift up and fold onto the back of the card.. so you can fold the card flat...
The stove is black embossed on Basic Grey - only one stove needed as you chop the bottom section off the chimney! (unless you want legs at the back too - as I have on the stripy green one!) Chimney goes on back of card, rest onto that "open box part"
Though you do need another Memento Black stamped stove onto Whisper White... for colouring just those kitchen paraphenalia parts & pie... including the towel! Reduces the fussy cutting/colouring timings...
Two 1/2" Circle Punched Basic Black circles for the hob... and some Basic Black marker or Stampin Blends colouring to finish... I have also added silver highlights using a non SU silver Uniball Signo pen on the tartan papered scene...
Hand cut a few log rolls from the Wood Textures papers...
And finish off with a stamped and die cut Winter Woods large tree... (the die that cuts out within the tree shape with the extra cuts!)
And a final tip for you... after opening up... I find that the hearth/stove/fold is better if I pull the hearth and stove down through the base of the card...and then push both up into position...

I love your stove bridge u fold card. Where could I find the vintage stove you used for the card? clbern56@yahoo.com
The stove image was in a Stampin Up stamp set called Homemade Kindness.. which sadly has long since retired… so eBay and Facebook groups/Marketplace are probably the places to search…
