Valentine Gnome Card

Create this easy to make Valentine Gnome Card

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to get creative and show your loved ones how much you care with a handmade card. What better way to celebrate than with an adorable gnome-themed Valentine card? Using your Cricut and some cardstock, you can make a charming card that’s sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Let’s dive into the steps to craft this delightful project!

I used a couple of different shades of pink and red for this card. The hearts that were cut out of the hat I used on the outside of the card to add more to the design. You could also use them on the inside of the card around any writing you would like to add. I’ve included two inside panels in the file for you to cut out for the card.

Step 1: Upload SVG Into Design Space

Start by opening Cricut Design Space. Upload the gnome card SVG file.

Pro tip: Add a cute sentiment like “I’m Gnome Yours” or “You’ve Gnome My Heart” to make your card extra special.

Cut the Cardstock

Place your cardstock on the cutting mat, ensuring it’s properly adhered to avoid shifting during cutting. Follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space to cut each layer of your gnome design. Be sure to use the appropriate material settings for cardstock.

Tip: Use a scraper tool to gently lift intricate pieces from the mat.

Assemble the Gnome

Now comes the fun part! Begin assembling your gnome by layering the cut pieces. Starting with the gnome body and beard, put glue on the back of the beard and glue it on the body.

Then glue the beard onto the gnome’s body.

Next take the two hat pieces and put glue on the back of the red hat piece.

Then glue the red hat layer to the pink hat layer.

Put glue on the back of the gnome at the bottom and glue to the shoes.

Next take the nose piece and hands and glue them onto the gnome.

Now you are ready to add the gnome to the front of the card.

Put foam dots on the back of the gnome and then place it onto the card front.

Put foam dots on the back of the heart with “Be Mine” written on it. Place the heart over the hand as shown below.

Take the left over red hearts from cutting out the hat and put foam dots on the back of them and add them to the front of the card.

Optional: Add extra embellishments like glitter accents, a tiny bow on the gnome’s hat, or a small jewel for the nose.

Personalize

Make the card truly unique by adding personal touches. Write the recipient’s name or include additional embellishments like stamped hearts, sequins, or ribbon.
