A Going Global Shaker Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Evening crafters. What a crazy week. My girls are both poorly which has thrown out all my crafting plans and schedules for the week. But in celebration of getting them to sleep I have something a little different to share with you this evening. I was blog hopping earlier in the week and came across the Global Design Project blog. This week's challenge theme is to CASE the designer. And the designer in question is my lovely upline Michelle. So I decided to have a go.

As soon as I saw Michelle's source card I instantly wanted to take the shaker element as my focus. I never need much of an excuse to add sparkles and a shaker element to my cards. I also loved the showcasing of the Designer Series Paper so decided to crack open my Going Places Paper Stack.

This is what I came up with:

For my shaker element I painstakingly went through my Brights Sequins to pick out the green stars and the blue hearts to represent the colours of the sea and land of the stamped globe.

I also added my newly arrived Metallics Glitter Tape as a glimmery feature of my card. This is one of the new Sale-A-Bration items available through till March 31st (a set of three metallic tone tapes free with a purchase of £45+).

Thank you for popping by today. I hope you enjoyed my challenge entry. Pop back on Friday when I'll be giving you a little sneak peek of this months card class projects. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up!, Sale-A-Bration or any of our new products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door. I'd also love to Demo for you and your friends at a crafty party. As the hostess you earn lots of lovely freebies and you all get to make a fun crafty project too (no crafting experience necessary!).

Going Places with Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Friday. Hooray for the weekend. What do you have planned? I have my monthly card class tomorrow and it feels like an absolute age since I've seen all my ladies so I'm really looking forward to it.

I have a project to share with you today that I created at Convention last year. This was one of our sneak peek make and take projects (the best part of Convention is getting to play with new product and having a little crafty time).

This is again themed around the Going Places suite of products. For this card I used the World Traveller Embossing Folder but instead of embossing with it I inked the inside of the folder with Crumb Cake ink and sandwiched my cardstock inside. You get this great aged/antique effect by using your embossing folders like this.

This project uses the Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack. Such a great set of papers for masculine cards and for more antique-y vintage style crafting. I especially loved the effect of stamping the globe over the top of the DSP.

Thank you for popping by today. Pop back on Monday for more craftiness. I'll be sharing some of our card class makes with you next week.. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up!, Sale-A-Bration or any of our new products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door. I'd also love to Demo for you and your friends at a crafty party.

Going Global Embossed Love Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Weekly Deals Wednesday Crafters. Hop on over to my online store to check out this weeks deals, including some great reductions on some 3d item Bigz Dies.

Now on to today's craftiness. I have another Going Global project to share with you today using the full suite of products including the fab World Traveller Textured Impressions Embossing Folder which I used to create the background for this card.

My colour scheme for this card is Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Whisper White. I used my 2" Circle Punch to punch out the globe stamped image which I stamped over with the 'The Love Between Us' sentiment.

I added Subtles Candy Dots to embellish. I used matching tones of blue and green to compliment my colour scheme.

I love the simplicity of this card and I adore this suite of products. There are so many possibilities for this stamp and paper set to make great masculine cards for birthdays and Valentines Day. And Stampin' Up! have made purchasing coordinating products so easy in the Spring Summer catalogue. You could purchase the Going Global stamp set, World Traveller Embossing Folder, Going Places DSP, Going Places Cardstock Pack, a pack of Dimensionals and matching Subtles Candy Dots for £47.00 which would then mean you would qualify for a Sale-A-Bration freebie from the exclusive limited time Sale-A-Bration catalogue. Click on the images below to see these products in more detail.

A week of Going Global with Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Monday crafters. 

I hope you've had a good week so far. I've been getting to grips with my sewing machine over the weekend. I rustled up a grime guard for my cross stitch frame to stop my fabric getting dusty and dirty. I'll take a picture and share later in the week. I also squeezed a few hours in my craft room watching catch up Christmas TV (Big Fat Quiz of the Year anyone?). I managed to get quite a few cards made alongside some packs for my lovely new team members. I have welcomed three lovely new ladies to my team so far this month. Sale-A-Bration really is such a great time to sign up and join Stampin' Up! Visit the Join My Team tab for more info but in essence you get an additional £30 to spend in your Starter Kit (£99 for £160 worth of products).

I have three projects to share with you this week focusing on the Going Global stamp set from the Spring Summer catalogue. I got to try this stamp set at Convention in November and loved the constellation image straight away. It is such a lovely set with so many potential uses.

My first project uses a Night of Navy and gold theme. I used the constellation stamp to create a background and then heat embossed the globe image and punched with my 2" Circle Punch. 

I added Gold Metallic Thread behind my globe image and mounted with Dimensionals. I layered my card front over Champagne Glimmer Paper and Whisper White.

I've also been busy this weekend with a new cross stitching project. I have recently come across Stitch Alongs online. I never knew these existed. I think I might be hooked! I have signed up to the KLT Charting 2016 Owl Stitch Along (SAL). Every fortnight a new owl chart will be released and each person is free to stitch in whichever thread or colours they choose. My first owl has turned out lovely. I love all things bright and owl-y so he makes me very happy ;0) I'll be sure to share more as I go along as this project matches my blog perfectly.

Thank you for popping by today. Pop back on Wednesday for another Going Global card project. Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up!, Sale-A-Bration or any of our new products. I would love to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door.
