Gnome For the Holidays Side Pull Out Card

I saw this fold on our Demonstrator Website, and knew that I had to give it a try! It's a new one for me, and you can make it using Oval, Circle, or Square dies!  This is my own creation using the Ovals - my favorite, of course. I still would like to try the Circle and Square one, too!



Measurements:  

  • Pacific Point: 1/2 sheet
  • Whisper White: 5 1/4" x 8"  , 2 3/8" x 3 3/8"
  • Snowflake Splendor DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4",1 7/8" x 5"                                                                   
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Pacific Point card base in half. Attach DSP quarter to front along outside edges only.
  • Cut largest scallop oval through both layers on front of card.  Discard DSP, and set Pacific Point piece aside to use later. 
  • Fold Whisper White card in half, and then again in half, back on itself, creating a "Z" fold. Crease well. Flip over so the "Z" is on the right, and adhere "base" to inside of Pacific point card. Attach DSP strip to inside narrow panel. 
  • Close card.  Place adhesive on right half of Pacific Point scallop oval. and adhere to front "z" that is inside while card is closed, lining up scallops.
  • Stamp image, in this case the gnome, onto Whisper White piece.  Cut out with Oval, color with Blends as shown, and attach to scalloped oval.  
  • Stamp sentiment in Balmy Blue on inside of card. Then, randomly stamp "snowflakes" in Balmy Blue on inside, and around front of "z", if desired.
  • Finish with a small bell or pom pom on the gnome's hat, and a Shimmery bow.

Gnome on a Wreath

This adorable gnome isn't just for Christmas!  Thanks to another creative demonstrator, I am sharing my version of Arrange a Wreath and Gnome!!



Measurements:  

  • Gorgeous Grape: 1/2 sheet, scraps
  • Highland Heather: 4" x 5 1/4", scraps
  • Whisper White: 3 3/4" x 5", 2 1/2" square (label), 2 1/8" x 2 1/2" (gnome)
  • Pear Pizzazz: 3 3/4" square
  • Old Olive: 3 3/4" square
  • Mossy Meadow: 3 3/4" square

To Make this Card:

  • Run larger White piece through Subtles EF. Then, adhere all layers to folded Gorgeous Grape card.
  • Cut 1 "berry" Wreath from Old Olive, and 1-each "smooth" Wreath from Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow. Layer together onto card, leaving room for "scalloped rectangle" message.
  • Cut 2 large "flowers" from Gorgeous Grape and one "flower" from Highland Heather (or any combination that appeals to you). You will also need smaller flowers for the centers. Assemble all together with Mini Glue Dots.
  • Stamp "Gnome" in Black Memento ink onto piece of white. Color with Blends as shown, and then fussy cut it out. Stamp his "hat" onto a scrap, cut it out, and trace onto coordinating DSP of your choice.  Then cut out and use this piece.  (Doing this eliminates the snowflakes from his hat).
  • Arrange "Gnome" and flowers as desired on the Wreath. I attached them with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Stamp message in Gorgeous Grape onto piece of white.  Cut out with Scalloped Rectangle Die. Sponge arround edges with a Sponge Dauber and Grape ink. Attach to card under Wreath.
  • Finish with a knot of Tricolor Ribbon and some Purple Rhinestones (retired).

Missing Middle Fun Fold Card

Hello, Stampin Friends!
It is my intent to share a Fun Fold with you on Friday's!  I wonder how many I can come up with!!  52 seems like an awful lot!  Some may be more complicated and some may be not! Here is my first offering using a new set from the 2020 August-December Catalog - Gnome For the Holidays with a fairly simple, but Fun Fold!  This darling set can be used for the Holidays, or a any occasion!

Measurements (horizontal version):
  • Real Red: 5 1/2" x 7 3/4", 2 5/8" x 3 5/8"
  • Pear Pizzazz: 2 pcs - 1 1/2" x 5 1/4", 2 3/8" x 3 3/8"
  • Whisper White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/8" x 3 1/8"
  • Heartwarming Hugs DSP (N): 2 pcs 1 1/4" x 5 1/8"
To Make This Card:
  • Score Real Red "base" 1 3/4" from each end.  Crease well with bone folder.
  • Attach layers as shown.  Attach Whisper White piece to "inside".
  • Create piece to "bridge" the 2 sides.  For this example, I used the Gnome stamped on a Stitched Oval, and layered on smooth and scalloped ovals.  Attach the top of the "Oval" to the top flap, and leave the bottom flap free.  (I like to close with a small, clear "Velcro" dot.
  • Use the Stamparatus to line up the message/greeting on the Whisper White piece between "flaps".  In the "Missing Middle"!
