My gnome!

Last Friday on Valentines Day I shared this cute Valentines Gnome that I made for the kids.

YOU CAN CLICK HERE too see my Valentines gnome post! 

On my post that day I said that I'd share measurements 

& details about this fun fold flat box card.

So read on to find out HOW I DID IT!

And then I hope you try to make one too!

• Start with card stock- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2", 6 1/2", 9" & 10"
• Add  Tear & Tape to the end- like shown.

• Use your Bone Folder & fold "good" on all of the scored lines.
• Remove the Tear & Tape.

• Fold it like down like this.  Notice that the Tear & Tape score line, PLUS the next score line are folded under here.
• Now press down to stick it shut.  
• THIS now forms the box.

•  This is what it looks like when it is now opened up.

• Now adhere your DSP onto it.  The heart image piece is- 4 x 2 1/4".  The striped image piece is- 4 x 2 3/4".

• You can now add the next piece.  It measures- 5 1/4 x 2 3/4"- score at 3 7/8" & 4 7/8".  
• Add Tear & Tape to the end.
• Use your Bone Folder & fold good on all of the scored lines.  

• Flip this over & add 2 strips of Tear & Tape as shown in this photo, to the other side.

• Fold it likes this & remove the 3 strips of Tear & Tape.

• Push your base card all down so that is it laying flat.
• Be sure that you have the little card stock piece you are adding on, so that it is folded like shown above.  
• The 3 strips of Tear & Tape are all facing down.  
• It is important that you line up the right end so that you have it aligned to match up with the edge of the striped designer paper.
• BE SURE you have it centered straight onto your flat card base.
• PRESS DOWN.

• It is now time to add your decorated part.  I used the 2 largest stitched rectangles from the So Sweetly Stitched Dies.  
• I used all punches to make my gnome-
  

1. Pine Tree Punch (hat)
2. Large Ornament Punch (beard)
3. Perennial Flower Punch- (feet)
4. 1/2" Circle Punch- (nose)
5. Dog Builder Punch- (small heart)

• I cut the bottom of the tree off like this for his hat.

•  I cut the tip off of the Large Ornament, like this- for his beard.

•  I cut the top off of one petal on the Perennial Flower Punch, like this- for his feet.

•  It is now finished!
• And this is how adorable it is when it is assembled & standing up!!  

I hope my tutorial has been helpful & you can now make your own 

flat fold box card & a cute little gnome too!
