Learn how to DIY Gnome Pop up Birthday card and you will have an adorable greeting card to send to your friends this year.

I love teaching my kids how to make their own pop up cards for literally any season of the year! Just recently my daughter said her school friend loves gnomes and I thought it would be a great idea to make a pop up Birthday featuring a gnome just for her. Imagine my little girl will go down as the coolest girl in the class.

Gnomes are a big thing here in our house and we have made lots of them for different times of the year! I particularly love my Witch Gnome Craft and my Valentine Gnome paper craft.

Combining them with my love of DIY Pop Up Cards is just perfect!

You can make your own Gnome Birthday card too by following my simple craft instructions complete with images to guide you!
