4 ½ ” wide x 7 ⅞” tall x 3” deep.
It's been awhile since we focused on The Abandoned Boudoir Diorama...but today, it's back to making 1:12 Scale Miniatures.
Milady's chamber must include a suitably Grand and Gothic Hearth, so we're going to build one right now. Yep.
All of the heavy lifting has been done for you - just grab your SVG Bundle, some chipboard, cardstock, foam core board and glue!

Sandwiching the foam core is a great idea, and you have much less waste. Always a plus.
It's surprisingly strong, too...I'm gonna be using this technique often from now on! xoxo
Oh how you take the complex and take us step by to a beautiful finished work. Thank you.
Tried to make this set of files as user-friendly as possible, Ruth! I do hope you'll share your version in the Membership if you choose to make it! xoxo
Всех с Новым Годом!)
И тебя с Новым годом! XOXO
Cannot wait to do this. Heading over to etsy.🌷🌷🌷🌷
your bracelet in the corner of the screen kept making me think there was a spider crawling onto your desk! HAHA. I can't wait to see how you finish it, but man, I can't help but see that design as a lovely stone mortared old wood cottage style, with a swing arm pot cooker in front!
Yikes! Sorry about the spidery bracelet thingie, Elisabeth! 🕷😅
Your idea sounds lovely: I can't wait to see all the variations that folks come up with. xoxo
@@Thicketworks oh i was laughing.
Lei è un'artista davvero unica, fantasticamente brava. Ogni sua creazione mi incanta !
Oh, è così gentile da parte tua, amica mio. Sto cercando di migliorare e sono così grato di poter condividere il processo con te! baci baci
Nice pacing.
I love your creations.
What a lovely thing to say...thank you, Lisa.😘
Gorgeous design and beautiful details.
Hi Jackie! Thank you so much - this one is special to me, darlin'...xoxo
WHAT!!???? SOOOOOOOO just what I needed! I love it!
Yay! That made me giggle! Woo hoo! xoxo
This is breathtaking Heather! This is the kind of piece that you build an entire project around💖😮 I can not wait for part 2 to see what else you plan to do with this already stunning piece. I hope you are having a fantastic start to 2020! Big hugs, Ara
This year is going to be fantastic for the whole Miniature Community, Ara - I can just feel it! So looking forward to your video tomorrow - seeing a glimpse of the adorable project on Patreon was such a treat. Fingers crossed that Phase Two for this piece is successful! 😜
Oh Heather my dear, magnificent!! But, I felt awful that you were sick trying to finish this. You must start taking a little time for your self. I can see that you push yourself too hard. Of course I will add this to my to do list. Off to get the SVG files.Please, Please take it a little bit easier. We are all here for you and my sweet lady, we all can wait for you to take your time. (GET MY MESSAGE!! LOL)
I hear you, my friend. I wish I knew how to keep the UA-cam Beast well fed AND have some energy and resources left over for 'well being'. It's a trade off, and not one that I've mastered. Thank you for your kind thoughts...but the truth is - I'm not truly happy unless creating/sharing, so that's the best therapy I know! xoxo
Fabulous!!!
Thanks, darlin'! Happy New Year to you and yours! xoxo
Hooooo! Marvelous! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, Sandra ~ Happy New Year! xoxo
And Happy New Year!!!!
Happy New Year, Sarah! xoxo
THIS is incredibly gorgeous, I just love it. Thank you for the shout out, I'm so thrilled. I received a new doll house for Christmas from my husband and can't wait to start including all your beautiful makes inside, I'm so excited.
Thank YOU for the encouragement, darlin'! It was and IS a brilliant idea. So excited about your new Doll House!!! This is gonna be epic! xoxo
Just lovely! You are amazing with all the ideas you have using your Cricket Maker! (And a personal note, this was back to school day after the holiday break...it was so nice to have your video to look foward to)
That makes me very happy, June! I hope that you and yours had a pleasant Holiday! xoxo
I love this!
Thanks, Traci! This project taught me so much! xoxo
This fireplace is so Freaking EPIC!!!!
Congratulations on this Incredible new project Heather, and so glad that you not only had a Great Christmas and New Years, but also that you are over your flu bug and back to feeling better!
Oh, thank you, my friend. It's good to be back on track! I hope that you and yours had a great Holiday! xoxo
Heather this is beautiful! !! I am so excited to see all of the things you have created come together!! They are stunning!!!
It will be so fun to put it all together, darlin'! Still much to do! xoxo
Beautiful! You never cease to amaze me with your creations!
Thanks for the kindness, Sean! Minis are the most fun! xoxo
Dearest Heather, with each build you bring us new and creative ways to take our works to greater heights! This piece is no exception! In fact it is INCREDIBLY GRAND!! I am continually in awe of your dedication to sorting through the fiddly bits of design to create the most workable ways for US!! Your work is impeccable and YOU are a JOY to watch and learn from.
I cannot wait to see the wonderful finishes you add to this GRAND piece! YOU SHINE...ALWAYS!!
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
It's so important to me to keep learning, hopefully keep improving, and to keep simplifying things for the Thicketworks Studio Members and Etsy Customers...the more we explore these processes, the more streamlined they will become! It means the world to me that you value the work, girl. Thank you for being a Soul Companion, darlin'. xoxo

Stunning. It makes me want to set aside my other projects and create a castle (I've always wanted to live in a castle!). Your instructions are so clear and encouraging. Thank you.
Mi querida amiga, buen año lo primero y después nuevamente he de decir que es precioso lo que has hecho, te mando un fuerte abrazo y un montón de besos 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
¡Gracias cariño! Feliz año nuevo ... ¡gracias por todo el maravilloso apoyo que han brindado tan generosamente! besos y abrazos
I'm with you, Rachael! Let's build our tiny castles and fill them with our dreams! 💗💗💗
I Love this! It is Beautiful and you thought of everything.
I would love to be a bubble in your brain when you are creating. lol not creepy I promise LOL
I'm glad there will be a part deaux. I was pondering the fact that it was not a "normal" Heather "encrusted" piece . Then you answered my query.
I know I just vanished but my body and soul was /is healing.
I know you get that. We do not get to choose when need time. it just happens.
My holidays were wonderful peaceful and slow.
Your miniatures are so enticing. I can not wait to start playing, Again.!!!
Blessings and abundance for your New Year!
Hello, my darling! And yes, I totally understand about the need to vanish from time to time...I hope the fact that you are re-emerging means that your heart is lighter.
Blessings and Abundance for YOU, and for us all, my friend. xoxo
I love your creativity! Making my wish list on your etsy site. Hmmmm which one should I get first LOL can.t wait to get started. Also a big thank you for making svg files. I do not have a cricut I have a silhouette and love making miniatures
Lot's of folks in the Membership are using their Silhouettes with great results, Pam! Isn't making minis the BEST? xoxo
@@Thicketworks Hi Heather. I am in love with all your creations and techniques. Does anyone in the membership use a Brother Scanncut CM350? I want to join but I am not sure if I will be able to do the scoring and other features the Cricut Maker does.
Hey, Carmenlita! We do have a couple of members using the SNC...as long as the machine can cut cereal box weight chipboard and you know how to convert some of the layers to score lines in the software, you're all set! xoxo
I love this , Amazing detail
I really wish I had a cricket so I could use some of you designs .
Oh, that's such a sweet thing to say - thank you! The Cricut Maker has changed my whole creative life. If you ever are able to invest in yourself this way, it's WORTH it! xoo
@@Thicketworks i will be giving it a lot of thought but need to sae up as im on a disability pension.
bur i really enjoy your videos , keep up the great work its very inspiring.
From the thumbnail i honestly thought this was sculpted....heather, you go from amazing to awesome. Happy new year
Happy New Year, dear MissGroves! xoxo
Its beautiful! I tried making a fireplace out paper 4×4 i think i might learn something here lol.
Happy New Year!
Omgoodness ive missed some vids.
Fireplaces are challenging, Sandra! I assumed (wrongly) that this would be super easy to design, and it turned out to be quite the learning experience. Happy New Year! xoxo
Did you alter the suggested settings in Cricut for 65-pound cardstock? Whenever I use 65-pound, my machine just mangles it.
I had similar issues, so here are the Design Space Custom Material Settings that work for me:
Standard Grip Mat (no tape)
Pressure: 196
Cutting Passes: 3x
Fine Point Blade
Good luck!
Would the cricut explore air 2 work for this project?
BTW, amazing work! TYFS!
Thank you, my friend! As long as the Air 2 can use SVG, PNG, PDF or JPEG files, and if it can cut 'cereal box weight' chipboard - you should be all set! xoxo
beautiful - as always whn you make something. Could you sell pre cut pieces to those who do not have the cutting machine ? Also want to wish you a Happy New year. Hugs XX from Ann in Norway
Send me an email - I have a colleague that provides this service for a fee. I'll put you in touch!
You can reach me here: heather@thicketworks.com
Just curious. The foam board I get here. (In the UK) I have to soak before I can remove the outer layer? Is that a specific type of foam core that it just pulls off?
Hi Chris - yes, it is - the cheapest, called ReadiBoard, from The Dollar Tree here in the States and in Canada. I found a thread that may offer a good substitute in the UK: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1975505-Dollar-Tree-Foamboard-in-the-UK
Ooh thank you. Your videos are very inspirational. Thank you for breathing new light through old windows... x
(I may have initially posted this in the wrong spot!!) Hi Heather. I am in love with all your creations and techniques. Does anyone in the membership use a Brother Scanncut CM350? I want to join but I am not sure if I will be able to do the scoring and other features the Cricut Maker does.
Hey Carmenlita! Looks like your machine can cut little dashed lines, instead of using a scoring tool, but to perform the same function. You would change the line 'type' in your CanvasWorkspace. As long as the machine can cut cleanly through 'cereal box' weight chipboard, you should be good to go! xoxo
Heather for some reason I am not being recognized. I am trying to download the files for thr mini fireplace, thanks
Hi Diane - thanks for letting me know. That's a head scratcher, girl. I've just sent you a friend request on FB - it will be easier to figure out what might be going on via Instant Messaging there. We'll get to the bottom of it! xoxo
@@Thicketworks thank you
Hi, Heather, I would like to make this (and a lot of your other stuff for my collection of 1/6 scale knights. Can these files be enlarged and still use the cricut?
Hey, Rob...you can totally enlarge the files, but some of the individual components might need to be cut from 12x12" material. I would love to make some props for 1:6 Scale photos! Where can I see your knights?
@@Thicketworks I am actually setting up an instagram account this weekend. I'll let you know when I post. Thanks!
Fantastic, Rob. Looking forward to it!
@@Thicketworks It's set up and I think I tagged you. I'm robbiecrafter.
I have a 1 1/2 scale dollhouse I was going to make a spooky dollhouse. I have had it for 3 yrs but I keep running into ideas problems that make me stop. I was thinking about getting a Circuit to use on floor and furniture. Everything I am find is in a larger scale. Is there a way to make these ideas come to life for such a small scale dollhouse? There are a lot of great ideas but this scale is small.
Hi Jamie! Your project sounds very cool. When you say: 1 1/2 Scale, do you mean 1/24th Scale (.5" =1') or do you mean Play Scale (1.5" = 1')?
If you mean Play Scale, where everything is large enough for most action figures or fashion dolls, then the cutting area of the Cricut Maker is sometimes too small to accommodate the size of cuts required, resulting in the necessity to come up with ways to piece together the larger panels.
If you mean 1/24 Scale, then it is usually possible to translate the designs down by a factor of 50%, and to use multiple layers of cardstock, rather than chipboard. My friend Robbin does this routinely, and the results are fantastic! xoxo
@@Thicketworks sorry Heather its 1/2 scale The Fairfield by Geenleaf. It is my first dollhouse build so I'm pretty new at this.
@@jamiepolyblank3177 Scale talk is just inherently confusing, my friend!😜 You have nothing to apologize for...so, I hope my previous answer helps clarify: it IS possible to reduce the designs by 50% - with some adjusting of materials it usually translates pretty well. xoxo
@@Thicketworks I look forward to your videos and I definitely look forward to my purchase. Lol
