Gnomes Fun Fold Cards using Timber

Gnomes Fun Fold Cards

How cute are these Gnomes?? I love this stamp set! I created these fun fold cards using the Timber collection from a holiday treat holder I created last year! I made these a little bit bigger because I wanted this to be more of a fun fold type card, but you can easily add a treat inside if you would like!

I hope you enjoy the instructions so you can easily make your own! Have fun!! :)

1. Cut a piece of cardstock at 4 1/4" x 11 1/8"

2. Score the left end at 2 3/4" and middle at 4 1/4" 

3. Using a corner rounder, round both ends on the left side. 

4. Cut a piece of plaid B&T paper at 2 3/8" x 4" for the flap. Round the corners and glue to the front flap. 

5.  Cut a piece of coordinating B&T paper at 4" x 3 7/8" 

6. Cut a zip strip or a piece of B&T at 4" x 1/2" 

7. Cut a white circle from the Shaker Window & Confetti dies and a black circle from the opened stitched circle. Glue these together. 

8. Cut out the Gnome using the thin cuts. Stamp the Gnome in Intense Black ink. Color with these Tri-Blend markers:

9. After coloring with your markers, adhere the Gnome with thin foam tape to the front of the circle. Adhere the circle with thin foam tape (only add thin foam to half of the circle, so the circle doesn't stick to the bottom front) to the top, leaving a 1/2" from the top of the B&T. 

10. Glue the B&T to the bottom part of the card. Glue the 4" x 1/2" strip to the bottom of this piece, leaving 1/4" from the bottom of the B&T. 

11. Glue a heart or circle button to the left side of the strip.

12. Glue the black dots to the right of the circle.

13. Stamp a sentiment in Intense black ink on a piece of white cardstock. Cut dove tails on the ends. Glue to the inside.

14. Fold as shown here. You can add a treat or message inside.
