Cutting Instructions:
- Basic Black Cardstock: cut 1 @ 4 1/4" x 11, score at 5 1/2"; scrap for Gnomes boots.
- Basic White Cardstock: cut 1 @ 4" x 5 1/4", cut 1 @ 2 3/4" x 4 1/4"; cut 1 @ 1/4" x 4" for greeting; scrap for Gnomes beard.
- Glimmer Specialty Paper: cut 1 each of Gold, White and Green @ 1 3/4" x 3 1/2".
- Boughs of Holly DSP: scrap for Gnomes hat.
- Petal Pink Cardstock: scrap for Gnomes nose.
Instructions:
1. Basic Black Card base: fold on score line and burnish with bone folder.
2. Adhere 3 pieces of Glimmer Specialty paper on card front as you choose with multipurpose glue.
3. With Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine cut the Basic White Cardstock 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" with the 4th largest Deckled Rectangle Die. Emboss this piece with the Charming Landscape Embossing folder. Adhere to the card front with Multipurpose Glue.
4. With Stampin" Cut & Emboss Machine and the Gnomes Dies cut the hat out of a scrap piece of Boughs of Holly DSP; cut the boots out of a scrap piece of Basic Black Cardstock; cut the beard out of a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock; cut the nose out of a scrap piece of Petal Pink.
8. With Stampin" Cut & Emboss Machine cut the tag out of the Candy Canes Tag Die. Trim the sides of the tag and then cut it in half, this will be the piece that makes the Gnome dance.
9. Assembling the Gnome: attach the boots to the bottom of the tag; attach the hat to the top of the beard (there is an outline on the beard where the hat is to go); attach the nose to the beard over the circle impression. Place the feet behind the beard as shown in the picture of the card, turn the gnome over and place a mini dimensional inside the circle cut out of the tag. Place a mini dimensional on the top of the hat and a regular dimensional in the middle of the hat, remove the backing from the dimensionals and adhere the gnome to the front of the card making sure the feet move back and forth freely.
10. Stamp the greeting on the 1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White Cardstock, cut apart and adhere to the card front with dimensionals.
11. With Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine cut the 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White Cardstock with the largest dies from the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Stamp the cardstock with a sentiment and the gnome and adhere to the inside of the card.
