Supplies Needed

Hydrangea Hue Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (Scored at 4-1/4")
Basic White Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (inside card)
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"

Hydrangea Hue Cardstock: 1-1/4" x 2-1/4"
Basic White Cardstock: 1" x 2" (sentiment)
Basic White Cardstock: 2" x 4-1/2" (Gnome)

Instructions

Fold the Hydrangea Hue cardstock in half at the score line to create card base.
Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White cardstock inside the card; decorate as desired.
Run the 3 pieces of 1-1/4" x 5" Basic White cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine using the Dreamy Snowflakes Hybrid Embossing Folder. Adhere to the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. Tip: I added the top and bottom pieces first, then the middle piece.
Wrap the Hydrangea Hue Ribbon around the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and tie into a knot or bow on the left side. Adhere to the cardstock to the front of the card.
Stamp the sentiment onto the 1" x 2" Basic White cardstock using Black ink. Adhere to the 1-1/4" x 2-1/4" Hydrangea Hue cardstock and then adhere to the front of the card, just to the right of the knot/bow, using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stamp the Gnome onto the 2" x 4-1/2" piece of Basic White cardstock using Black ink. Color in using the Stampin' Blends. Note: I used the Color Lifter to remove some of the Gray Granite ink from the mustache.
Die-cut the Gnome using the Merry Mischief Die from the Bundle. adhere to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals so that he slightly overlaps the sentiment.

Notes

Worker Bee (for Confident Cardmakers)

Worker Bee projects are designed for the crafter who has a bit more time and enjoys creating a handmade card that features a technique or tool. In many cases, a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is required for die-cutting and/or embossing.
