We are to choose someone to send our 'Thank you' to and I have chosen Brian King. Yes, the Brian King!!!

My 'Thank you' card is on it's way to Brian...

 I have sent my 'Thank you' to Brian because he is A-MA-ZING! Brian is on the Design Team for the Global Design Project Challenge. Every week I enter a creation in the GDP Challenge, and Brian has left me a comment on every single one of my blog posts. He has even sent me a personal email because he loved one of my creations so much! 

Brian makes my day when he leaves me such an enthusiastic and lovely comment that I wanted to send him his very own 'Thank you' created by me.

I have recently created some cards and tags using the 'Going Global' Suite, and the whole set of stamps & 'Going Places DSP' are perfect for masculine projects.

The card base is 'Kraft cardstock' with a mat of 'Delightful Dijon cardstock'. I punched tiny stars using the 'Confetti Stars Punch' from 'Gold Foil Sheets' and scattered the stars all over the 'Going Places DSP'. With left over DSP from the 6"x6" sheet, I made a simple Gift Tag.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog post for Kylie's International Stampin' Up! Blog Hightlight? Although the 'Going Global Suite' is about to retire, the products are still available on the Retiring List while stocks last. 

'Thank you' for being here, and 'Thank you' Brian! D x

Creation Station Blog Hop 'Going Global'

Hello, and welcome to the May 'Creation Station Design Team' Blog Hop! You have hopped to my blog from Sara, or back from Nicole - a HUGE welcome to you. Make sure you keep on hopping to be inspired by some incredibly talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the Globe, and believe me you are going to be inspired by their creations. 

 

This month the theme is 'Going Global' and we are creating for the guys. I often find myself stuck to create a masculine project, and I have managed to create a few projects for you.

 

My first creation, using the 'Circle Card Thinlits Dies' and the divine 'Kraft cardstock'...

The 'Globe' stamp was coloured using 'Stampin' Write Markers'. I spritzed the image with water and stamped straight onto 'Watercolour Paper'.

Inside the Circle Flip is the compass - I fussy cut the points and mounted them onto 'Stampin' Dimensionals', then added some 'Gold Wink of Stella' to finish. 

My second creation uses the 'World Traveller Textured Impression Embossing Folder'. This was so fun to make, and I added a Hot Air Balloon - reminding me of 'Around the World in 80 Days' by Jules Verne.

I swiped the 'Marina Mist Stampin' Pad' onto the TIEF to colour the water - the water is raised on the 'SIZZIX' side of the TIEF and the countries are left clean to colour using 'Stampin' Write Markers'.

• Spritz TIEF with water
• Place the 'Watercolour Paper' into the TIEF and close
• Run the TIEF through the Big Shot
• Allow 'Watercolour Paper' to dry fully before creating.

Speaking of 'Around the World in 80 Days' - I created this card using the quote from the original 1956 movie poster. 

Using the 'World Traveller TIEF' on 'Kraft cardstock', I edged the countries with the 'Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker', and traced over the Longitude & Latitude lines as well. The quote was created using the fabulous and about to retire 'Alphabet Rotary Stamp'. I will miss this rotary stamp BIG TIME!

 

And last but not least a few Gift Tags to showcase the other stamps in the 'Going Global' stampset. The 'Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack' has gorgeous patterns, and I love this undulating mountain scene. I stamped the sentiments onto 'Kraft cardstock' and then backed with 'Lost Lagoon' cardstock.

 

 



Thankyou for being here. I hope you have some new ideas for the 'Going Global Suite' found in the Occasions Catalogue. If you have any questions, ask away. I love hearing from you. 

Happy travels and keep on hopping! D x
