Full of cute personalities and mischievous smiles, our Garden Gnomes are sure to bring joy to your papercraft projects. Why not get to know the gnomes and have a go at our step-by-step cardmaking guide?

You will need:

Step-by-step instructions:

  • To create your card base cut a piece of multi-purpose card to measure 5 ¾” x 8 ¼” for the back piece. For the front piece cut multi-purpose card to measure 5 ¾” x 10 ¼”. Score at 1 ¼”, 2 ¼”, 8” and 9”.
  • Die cut a 4 1/2″ square into the centre of the front piece.
  • Choose one of the scene sheets from the 12″ x 12″ paper pad. Cut out to measure 5 ½” x 5 ½” and glue to the centre of the back piece.
  • Cut two pieces of pink card measuring 5 ½” x 1”. Then, cut another piece to measure 5 ½” x 5 ½”. Die cut a 4 1/2″ square into the centre to create a frame. Stick to the sides and centre of the front piece as shown.
  • Cut two pieces of patterned paper to measure 5 1/4″ x 3/4″.
    Patterned paper: 2 x 5 ¼” x ¾”. Next, cut a square measuring 5 ¼” x 5 ¼” and die cut a 4 1/2″ square into the centre. Layer on top of the pink pieces and glue down as shown.
  • Turn the front section over, attach red liner tape to the two outer sections. Adhere to the back piece.
  • Use the Alcohol Proof Inkpad to stamp the gnome character, swing and whichever accessories and decorations you’d like to use onto Neenah Card.
  • Colour with Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers. (Take a look a our guide to using alcohol markers for some hints and tips!)
  • Die cut the coloured characters and decorations and attach to the card front using Tacky Glue and foam pads
