Pick out the large stripes die from the Candy Canes Dies. Put it on top of the 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Granny Apple Green rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen, adhere the striped Granny Apple Green rectangle cut out to the 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle so the edges are even.
Adhere the white/green striped rectangle to the front of the Shaded Spruce card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the patterned letters "jingle" image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 1-3/8" x 3-3/8" horizontal white strip so it is about 1/8" from the top edge and is centered side to side.
Mount the outlined letters "jingle" image from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Shaded Spruce Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal white strip so it outlines the previously stamped patterned letters..
Mount the "all the way" sentiment from the Jingle Jingle Jingle Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it just below the word "jingle" image on the right side as shown.
Adhere the sentiment stamped white rectangle to the center of the 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" Shaded Spruce rectangle.
Adhere the matted sentiment rectangle to the bottom of the horizontal card front so it is about 3/8" from the right edge and about 1/2" from the bottom edge.
Pick out the large hat die and the legs and feet die from the Gnomes Dies. Put them both on top of the 2" x 3" Shaded Spruce strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Pick out the large beard die from the Gnomes Dies. Put it on top of the 1-3/4" x 2" white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Pick out one of the small oval dies from the Gnomes Dies. Put it on top of the Blushing Bride rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the legs and feet cut out to the bottom of the card as shown so they are just a little lower than the bottom of the matted sentiment rectangle and overlap the lower left corner of the sentiment rectangle a tiny amount.
Adhere the beard cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the top of the legs cut out.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the Blushing Bride oval to the center of the beard at the top as the nose.
Adhere the hat cut out to the front of the card so it tucks under the top of the nose and overlaps the top of the beard.
Unlock the Bough Punch. Slide one end of the horizontal Granny Apple Green strip into the punch and get it centered in the large bough punching area. Punch.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off the bottom two leaves and the bottom of the stem from the bough punch out.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the cut down bough punch out to the front of the card so it is sticking out from the right side of the gnome's hat as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one small Petal Pink gem from the sheet of Elegant Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the front of the card so it covers the end of the bough punch stem as shown.
Cut an 12" piece of Linen Thread.
Fold the thread in half. Feed the folded end through the hole in the top of a bell from the Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets. Tie the thread in place using a small bow. Trim the ends.
