CottageCutz: Ride On Gnomie Santa

Hello Friends

Today my Z-Fold card is using Santa Gnome w/ Silly Reindeer. There are several gnomes in this release and who doesn't love gnomes!!

Design Steps

1. Cut the pieces out using the Santa Gnome w/Silly Reindeer and red, brown, dark brown, gold, silver, white green, tan and black

2. Shade the pieces and assemble with a fine tip glue

3. For the card base cut white card stock 4 1/4 x 11. Fold in half and then fold the front fold in half again. Cut 2 pieces of silver glitter paper 2 7/8 x 4 1/8 and 2 pieces of navy dotted DP 2 1/2 x 4. Next cut a silver glitter piece 5 1/4 x 4 1/8 and a piece of navy dotted DP 5 x 3 3/4

4. Glue the silver layer down first and then the navy dotted DP down next

5. For the Z- Fold arm cut a piece of white card stock 11 x 1 fold in half. Then fold in half one of the flaps again. Before attaching it to the card front cut silver glitter paper 3/4 x 5 1/4 and two pieces of glitter paper 3/4 x 2 1/2 and glue to the arm. Glue the strip to the card front as shown above and below

6. Using the Merry Christmas w/Shadow die cut out two in white card stock and glue them together

7. Glue the Merry Christmas to the card front. I decided I needed a little interest in the background. So I used the Slimline Mountain and Trees die and cut out the snowcapped mountains and the tree line. I then cut them to fit the large background panel and the small side panel. Then glued them down. I glued down the gnome and reindeer on the front arm of the z-fold. I also used the Snowflake Background Slimline to cut out a few snowflakes glued them down and the card is complete
