Today’s project is part of a Fun Fold Hop. I hope you will continue on from me and share the love with the other designers. We all love comments and to know if you like our Fun Folds.
My card is a version of a fold I made a few years ago as Christmas cards. Not sure why I have waited this long to recreate it. The Friendly Gnomes and Lucky Clover were my inspiration for this fun card. They create a sweet Luck and Love card.
Stamps
You can see that I used a mix of the Friendly Gnomes and the Lucky Clover to create my little scene. The Friendly Gnomes are just so darn cute. I love the look of the gnomes and since I love to color it was a great choice for me. The Gnomes Dies from the Holiday Mini carried over and fit the little guys in this stamp set. Also the little flower on the step is from the Friendly Gnomes set. To give the Gnome a little background, I punched a piece of Petal Pink with the Decorative Label Punch. It gives some strength to him standing up.
I hate that the Clover Punch sold out so quickly. But it is really not needed if you use the stamp. As long as you don’t mind a bit of cutting, you are good to go. And the shape is such that it is not at all a detailed cut. I used both the large and the smaller clover. Giving the Gnome a little clover for his hat seemed to really tie the two together. The Good Luck and large clover are cut with the Label Me Fancy Punch. The sentiment is over to the right to leave room for the clover to hang on the left side. And the clover received a little extra love with a Heart Pearl in it’s center.
Papers and Colors
The DSP used is from the Annual Catalog paper Happy Forest Friends. The woodsy paper fit perfectly with the gnomes and clovers. I used two different sheets. In the photos above you can see that the closed card has two pieces of the woodsy paper. And the “step” is the second one showing a green forest floor look.
All of the other colors came from the woodsy paper. I went with Mossy Meadow for the card base, but softened that with Petal Pink as the layers. The heart and the Good Luck are both Calypso Coral, again pulled from the DSP.
Measurements
The Mossy Meadow card base is 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 and 6 3/8. On the front, the Petal Pink layers are 2 pieces cut to 5 1/4 X 1 7/8. The 2 woodsy DSP pieces for the front are both 5 X 1 3/4. For a base on the inside of the card, there is a Petal Pink layer measuring 5 1/4 X 4. It has Basic White layer at the top cut 5 X 1 3/4 and then the grassy DSP piece is the same size. But the grassy piece is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This allows the front fold to “stop” against it to hold the card in position. This is a super quick and easy card to put together as it is simple measurements. I hope you will give this a try!

What a fun card – that gnome is adorable! 🙂
Such a cute gnomie card, Jackie! The papers are great together. And I agree that fussy cutting the clovers isn’t difficult or time-consuming and worth it for the pop of color to an encouragement card. Thanks for being in the blog hop this month!
Wonderful card, Jackie! I love the fun-fold!
So cute Jackie! The gnome goes perfectly with the clover and the fold is great!
Lol. Looks like we were thinking along the same lines this hop.
Thank you so much for this cute fun fold. I will certainly try it and share with others.
How stinking cute!!! I love this! I wasn’t going to get this gnome stamp set but you e made me rethink that. Love this!
