Founder’s Circle – Day Three

This 'n' That

17 Sep

Fc swap close 

 

Day three! What? Already? Well according to the itinerary today is our half day regional that they have set up just for the Founder's Circle achievers so that is cool! They also have a shuttle going to an Outlet mall. Oh man, the sweat is beading on my forehead. Outlet mall. We also have dinner at our leisure, and guess what? Tonight is the Sock Hop Swap & Share, so that means I can show you my Founders Circle swap. I did tease you a bit about it before.

Now my card was based on this tutorial I did. You can see it here.

Once upon a time there was some cardstock, and embellishments.

Founders Circle paper cut
They got all cut up and put in cute little piles. I used Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Shimmery White

DSCN2589 copy
Then the Shimmery White got stamped on, over and over and over and over again.

DSCN2590 copy
Then they got punched out over and over…well you get the picture, and it was important to keep the square that was punched out with the right piece so they lined up later.

DSCN2592 copy
Then those little squares were colored, and assembled to Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

DSCN2595 copy
While I was coloring, my sweet hubby was Big Shot-ting the Old Olive piece, I wanted to take his picture and he said no, so I didn't want to push my luck.  So you can just close your eyes and picture it. He looked so cute!

DSCN2601 copy
Then all those pieces got glued together…oh yeah I had to stamp the bottom card base too. It just did not look right without it.

DSCN2599 copy
Then all these pieces were dimensionaled to the main card with the old olive piece and I tied the Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon on and attached a little vintage trinket and a jewelry tag, and after about 4 days, these babies were done, and packed up.

DSCN2602 copy
It took 5 one gallon ziplock bags to pack these babies.  I hope everyone likes them.  I only did 140 of them. Pardon me? Will this be my Christmas card? Heck no…if I ever see this card again it will be too soon…ha! Just kidding!!

Wanna see it in full?

I have to admit, it is so beautiful.

    Wow how cute and a lot of work. Are your fingers still attached to your hands or did you work them off? Thanks for posting about Founder's Circle some of the time. I can't wait to see the pics you will be sharing next week.

    Great card, Diana; I may have to make some similiar because I love the technique. Some blogs have now shown their cards for Founder's Circle and I can honestly say yours is nicer and certainly shows how much you care about your product!

    Loved your tutorial on this card so much it was going to be a make and take at my next workshop. But, this one with the holly for a Christmas card – so totally going to make this one instead. At least I won't have to prepare 140 of them, just 15 or so. Thanks for sharing!

    Absolutely beautiful – as is all your work, you are so very talented! Wondering whether you used both square punch sizes, for the popped holly, or was one of the squares cut with a paper cutter?

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
