Storybook Gnomes

Look at this cute swinging legged gnome! 

He is just stinkin' adorable!

 

How did I make the gnome?

Here are all of the pieces I used to make the gnome.

Hat, nose, beard, 2 hands, 2 arms & feet.

I cut the swing hole piece out of a 3/4 x 1" piece.

 

NOTE:  I did trim the swing hole piece down though after taking this photo 

& made it 3/8 x 1" & I diagonally snipped of the top corners too a little,

 as it was hitting on the arms when it was wider.

This is the gnome all assembled.

 

Add dimensionals as shown- be sure to not put them too low.

AND put the arms UP a little higher than shown, 

so that they don't hit on the legs when they swing.

 

Add the swing piece & legs like this with 2 mini dimensionals on top of each other.

Theses stacked dimensionals will be stuck to the back side of the beard.

NOTE:  I did snip the top corners off of this just alittle from the swinging mechanism

so it wouldn't hit the arms when it was swinging.

Now add the gnome to the embossed snowflake piece.

This is what the card looks like when it is opened up.

Notice how I added the DSP over the top right side of the white inside piece. 

I made this gnome card a birthday card!

As I think he looks happy & like he is celebrating!
