I'm finishing up my swaps to take with me to our convention in Vienna in 10 days!! (Can't wait!) I created this version of the "dancing gnome" using the rest of the Storybook Gnome DSP that I used for one of my other swaps.
Measurements: :
- Pacific Point: 1/2 sheet, scraps
- Storybook Gnomes DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (lg snowflake), 2 1/2" x 4", scrap - hat (small snowflakes), 1/2" x 2 1/2" (small snowflakes)
- Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 4", scraps
- Blushing Bride: scrap (nose)
To Make This Card:
- Fold Pacific Point card base in half. Remove upper half of front. (2 3/4" is half). Keep this for the mounting piece!
- Attach stripe DSP to inside of card. Attach dotty piece DSP to front flap.
- Attach one White piece to Red piece you removed. Adhere bottom of this piece to front flap.
- Die cut "beard" from scrap of White, die cut "nose" from Blushing Bride, die cut "feet" from Pacific Point, and die cut "hat" from small snowflake print.
- To assemble the "gnome". Attach the corners of the "hat" to the imprint on the "beard" with 1/2 a glue dot. Add the "nose" with a Mini Dimensional. Set Aside.
- To make the "dancing feet", cut or make a "mechanism" as shown above in the illustration. I used the Candy Cane Holder from the Candy Canes dies.
- Attach the feet to the mechanism, below the opening. This is one time I used Multipurpose Glue! Set aside to dry well.
- While this piece is drying, let's finish the inside.
- Attach the other White piece to the wrong side of the Real Red flap.
- Add small piece of DSP to bottom of the White piece. Add sentiment, if desired.
- To finish the "dancing gnome", lay the "feet" onto the card flap. Place a Mini Dimensional in the opening of the mechanism.
- Next, take the "face". Place Mini Dimensionals on outside points of "hat" and "hat" tip. Remove all backings and adhere over feel, so "beard" is attached to the mechanism Dimensional.
- Give it a swing!! Note: if is doesn't swing, make sure there is no glue from the "feet" in the way.
- Finish with scattered Pacific Point Gems from the Fine Sparkling Gems.
