Founder's Circle Swap - Snowglobe Penguin

I have received a lot of emails regarding my Founder's Circle Swap (shown below) so I have decided to post a picture with instructions on how I did this card. You can also see a list of the supplies at the end of the post. ENJOY!!!



Stamp the penguin onto Whisper White CS using Black Ink color it with markers (Only Orange, Basic Black, and Garden Green). Cut out leaving a white space between the feet. Set aside.

Run the new snowflake window sheets through the Big Shot using the Circle #2 Die. I used the larger circle....just cut the window sheets 3" x 3" and place on the larger circle...run through the machine. You can cut 3-4 at a time. ***You can also use plain window sheets and stamp the snowflake images from the same stamp set using White Stazon ink.

Roll the edges of the window sheet circles onto the White Stazon ink to make the edges stand out. Set aside.

Next run Whisper White CS through the Big Shot using the same size die (#2 circle); remove about 1/4" of the center of the circle by tearing. (By doing this you will get 2 from each circle)....this will be used to represent the snow base.

Using 2-way glue add Dazzling Diamonds to the top of the snow, at the penguin's feet and on the scarf.

The globe base was made using the Wide Oval Punch.....punch out from Basic Black card stock and then cut in half. (You will get 2 bases from each oval punch)

Here is a sample of the pieces you will have...


Next add 2 glue dots to the dazzling diamond area of the snow base (one on each side) and then adhere to the window sheet. Turn over and place 2 dimensionals behind the snow base piece and one behind the penguin...it will look like the photo below. **Using dimensionals helps in the appearance of the card.



To finish the card.... stamp "Happy" & "Holidays" onto the card front. Next adhere the black base (1/2 wide oval) onto card front with snail then adhere the globe piece to the card front.
