Oh my! This card is so much FUN!! At first glance, it just looks like a Gnome on a card, but give it a swing...and his legs swing back and forth!! And, the best thing, is that it's SO EASY to do!! Come find out how to make this at my class next week! Susan Campfield shared this fun technique!
Measurements: :
- Real Red: 1/2 sheet, scraps
- Sweetest Christmas DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (stripe), 2 1/2" x 4", scrap - hat (dots), 1" x 2 1/2" (candy canes)
- Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 4", scraps
- Blushing Bride: scrap (nose)
To Make This Card:
- Fold Real Red 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 Real Read, and die cut "hat" from dotty 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 Red Rhinestones.
