About this design

Two gnomes in love. A taller gnome in a plain hat stands beside a shorter one in a polka-dot hat, their hats leaning toward each other, and a little heart floats above them.

It is a sweet design for couples at Christmas, from a first Christmas together to an anniversary in December.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 23 pieces and 9 cut-outs. The two gnomes overlap slightly and are separated by a thin cut line, and the heart is a separate piece above them. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

• White gnomes with a red heart
• Red and gold, as shown

Making it personal

Cut one gnome in each partner’s favorite color, and add initials on the robes or names underneath for a one-of-a-kind gift.

Good to know

Couples’ gifts work best when they feel personal. Cut each gnome in a different color that matches the people it represents, and add a small date or the words Our First Christmas under the snowbank line. The heart is a separate piece, so you can cut it in red glitter or swap it for a tiny star. On a mug, center the heart above the handle-side gnome so it shows when the mug is held. On a pillow, leave a hand’s width of space above the hats for a name in a matching font.

Sizing for two

The couple is measured by width, since the two gnomes stand side by side. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide, but with 9 cut-outs shared between two gnomes, 4 inches or more is much easier to weed for an ornament or a card.
