Stampin' Up! 2022-2024 In Color Gnomes Fun Fold Card

 TGIF Challenge #384.

The challenge is to use ALL five of the Stampin' Up! 2022-2024 In Colors.

These colors are so fun and match well together.

I had so much fun creating this fun fold card!  With all the cute little Gnomes in The Kindest Gnomes Stamps & Dies set, it was fun coloring them to add on my card!

For my card base I used Starry Sky cardstock.  The next layer is the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper and the final layer is the 2022-2024 In Color DSP.

I chose one of the colors of DSP to add on the envelope flap as well.

This is the card opened up.  On each section I added the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine, wrapping it several times around each card section and tying in a bow.  The Baker's Twine was also wrapped around two sections of the thin strip of cardstock and DSP.

The birthday sentiment is from the Stampin' Up! Go To Greetings, stamped with Starry Sky ink.  A fabulous stamp set with beautiful fonts in different sizes!  This was adhered with mini dimensionals on the left side and left hanging (or floating) over this panel of the card.

The Gnome house was colored with Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends markers.

The first Gnome was colored with Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet and adhered with dimensionals.

The second Gnome was colored with Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky.  She was adhered with Liquid Adhesive.

Two mushrooms were die cut from Glimmer Paper in Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party.  These mushrooms are super cute!

This sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Charming Sentiments Stamps and Sentiment Silhouettes Dies, stamped with Starry Sky ink.

This cute little Gnome lifting his hat to have a peek was colored in Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis Stampin' Blends.  He was adhered with Liquid Adhesive.

And the final Gnome was colored with Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends.  He was adhered with dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments stamps.

Two more mushrooms were added using Glimmer Paper and tucked under the strip of cardstock with liquid adhesive and two mini dimensionals were added under the mushrooms.  The grass behind the Ghome was die cut from DSP.

For the embellishments, I added 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in all the colors and different sizes.

I needed room to add my own writing on the back, so I added Glimmer Paper layered with Basic White cardstock with the stamped image in Starry Sky ink and a strip of DSP along the right.

If you haven't given this fun fold a try, you should!  It's really easy to create.  Check out the measurements below.

This gives you a better view of the card when it's opened up.  There are so many possibilities with this fun fold!  Think balloons, flowers or animals.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and I hope you enjoyed my card.
