Hello, Wow fans! Anne here.  It's the last day of November and soon Christmas will be knocking on our doors. I'm sure a lot of you industrious people have already put up your trees, decorated them, adorned the exterior with lights and lawn ornaments and have all your shopping done and packages wrapped. Well, guess what... I haven't bought the first gift yet. Truth be known, all of my gifts will be hand made this year as money is awfully tight and there's no room in my budget for shopping.

I have for you today a mini album I made featuring Graphic 45's A Ladies' Journal collection and lots of WOW! Embossing Powders and Clear Stamps. I'm going to cut right to the chase and show it to you as there are several pages in this little book.


This collection by Graphic 45 is absolutely gorgeous.  I have been wanting to do this for quite some time and when I was assigned to do a mini or scrapbook layout, guess which one I chose!


As you can see in the above photo, all of…

I have had so much fun creating with the wonderful range of powders that we are using this month.
I used,
Red Glitz, Green Glitz, Nice Ice Blue and Sparkling Snow....... I loved the glittery shine on them all....
For my project, I thought I would make a paper angel - just a little one... for my desk.......
This is what I created,



I love the depth that you get from the glitter - it's just sooooooo sparkly..
What have you been up to, remember to let us know so that we can go and visit your blogs too.

Happy crafting

Hello, my dear crafting friends! Irit is here today with my Broken Glass technical tutorial.
All you need to make this broken glass look is a big background stamp , clear embossing ink and a lot of Clear embossing powders.
Step 1:
Pick your WOW Embossing Powders stamp. I picked Suzy West  French Music Background stamp.
Stamp a background stamp with permanent ink. I used black Memento, but any permanent ink will do the job. Please, not any kind of pigmented ink as it will be a mess after the first heat embossing step, unless you want to heat the stamped background a lot before the next step.





Step 2:
Cover the entire  stamped piece with  Clear embossing ink  and add a thick layer of  Clear Gloss Ultra High  embossing powder. Heat it and add 2-3 more layers of the same powder.  Cool it and add more clear ink all over. Now add a thick layer of  Clear Gloss Super  Fine embossing powder and heat it again. Make it 2-3 more times with the fine powder. The fine powder should cover  some spaces tha…

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here today with some more Christmas inspiration for you. If you haven't entered our Christmas challenge yet you have just a few more days to do so. You can find all of the details HERE. Remember, you MUST use heat embossing and/or some WOW products to qualify for the prize. 
My card features the new background stamp, Blizzard, and I've heat embossed with Sparkling Snow to create the background. It's so sparkly and shimmery :D  I adhered it to the card base with 3D foam and layered up a little bit of white lace on the front, adhering it with fabric glue. 

Next I used Green Glitz, Metallic Gold Sparkle and the Christmas Tree from the Deck the Halls clear stamp set. I had cut the tree once I had embossed it and adhered it with some 3D mounting foam. 

For the sentiment I used the Metallic Gold Sparkle. The stamp is from the Merry and Bright clear stamp set. This too is adhered with 3D foam so my card has loads of dimension to it. 

To finish off my…

Hello, Doris here with my my Christmas project.

I had this box of light bulbs staring at me for some time now. I rescued them, they are the (now) old fashioned shapes which are no longer being produced because they are not energy saving. And then I had all these new embossing powders WOW has just come out with. I was itching to use them so I rebelled and did not go with this month colours. Because......

Glitter + light bulbs= tree baubles!!
I have tried embossing on glass before, but had trouble getting the embossing ink on evenly, especially when the shape was not straight. On my table sat a can of spray glue and I decided to spray my light bulb all over and it worked a treat - very even coverage (even on my floor until I used my bin as a spray booth)
Glitter+glue spray+light bulbs=quick 'n easy baubles!! I decided to do several light coatings and that worked great. Every embossing powder I tried performed well and looked stunning. In the pictures I used the new Dessert Sand set (…

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by the WOW! Embossing Powder, U.S. blog!!

Today I am going to share with you a Christmas card I created for the upcoming Christmas season here in the U.S. But first I want to start off by saying I am SORRY for the picture quality. I have been without a camera for a little bit now (horrible I know!) so these were taken with my phone. BUT....that is all going to change very soon cause my sweet sweet wonderful husband informed me on Saturday that he bought me a new one and it will be here this week!! I am super excited and can't wait for it to arrive and start trying it out. So by the time my next post is due I will be able to provide much better pictures for you all.

But back to my card now....I used some left over paper scraps from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas collections (loved this collection!!), the Merry & Bright stamp set from the Suzy West WOW! Collection, and both Metalline Green and Opaque Bright White WOW! Embossing…

Hi there! Birgit here today with a post about Christmas wrapping paper.
Did you know it is very easy and fun creating your own wrapping paper? It is!


What do you need? First of all simple plain wrapping paper in a nice color and paper bags.
Stamp sets "Merry and Bright Christmas" and "Deck the Halls".
Versamark and your favorite embossing powders. I used Opaque Bright White Regular, Bay Area Blue Regular and Metallic Copper Super Fine.


Don't make it to hard on yourself, there's no need to stamp word by word. Just mix and match a whole lot of stamps on one large block and the work will be done in no time :)



It's as easy as that! And it's only November so you have more than enough time to give your Christmas gifts a personal touch!
Happy stamping!

Hello, It's Sarah here. I have created a card this month for this month's Wow 'Christmas' theme.


This card uses our new 'Blizzard' snowflake stamp that's a wonderful intricate stamp that fits perfectly into the Christmas theme. I started by stamping the stamp onto heat resistant acetate and heat embossing with Bright White Embossing Powder. I then cut a rectangle from my card blank (just slightly smaller than the stamped area) and mounted the acetate to the inside of the card.



Next, I stamped the Christmas Tree from the 'Deck The Halls' stamp set and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. This was onto a semi-translucent pearlised paper. I cut around  the embossed area and added a gem star and silver bow embellishment and mounted this with foam pads onto the card.

To complete the card, I cut two thin strips of acetate and attached them to the inside top of the card but positioned them so they hang over the front and added some snowflakes and silver …

Hello WOW! fans!  Jan here with a fun and easy challenge.  Do you ever have an embellishment that you'd like to enhance or change the color or texture of?  WOW! Embossing Powders work well on metals, chipboard and papers.  I used WOW Embossing powders on all of the above to complete my "Nutcracker Sleigh and Mini Album".  The chipboard on the side of the sleigh has been embossed using Presidio Purple.  The sleigh pattern is my design.
Embossed chipboard Embossed Metal Label Holder using Metallic Gold Rich Ultra High. Front of the sleigh with mini album.
A peek at the inside of the mini which is made using Graphic 45 packaging, Nutcracker Sweet paper line, Cable Car Red, Presidio Purple and Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder. The cover of the mini is a shaker with tiny jingle bells.  I have left the clear window in place and heat embossed with Metallic Gold. A look at the jingle bell shaker A few more pages.

Make a two in one card for Christmas with Glitter Embossing

 Hi, Christine Saunders here again with a new technique for you all to try - Iv'e been playing again with powders and glitter and have come up with this technique for glitter embossing. 
This Christmas Card has Glittered Triple Embossed Christmas Trees which can double up as Christmas Decorations too.  All 3 trees have wire loops attached to them so you could hang them up on your tree or use them for decorations next year.
To make the card ink up the WoW Embossed swirly cardstock with green and brown ink leaving the centre white. Stick onto brown folded cardstock leaving a section on the left for a ribbon embellishment.
Cut out 3 triangles, ink up with clear embossing ink and add Red Sparkle Embossing Powder - heat to set . Repeat this 3 times more but this time use Clear Gloss Ultra High to add thick layers. 
Using the "Is it a Bird" stamp set, ink up a tree with gold paint, dip this into gold glitter. Heat u…

Hello!!  Jen Roach here and today I'm sharing a Happy Holidays card I created using an embossed background and some embossed die cuts.  Adding embossing powders to your die cuts is a way to change them up and add some extra WOW!

First I created the stamped background using the new Funky Borders set and some pastel blue embossing powder.  Then I embossed some die cut snowflakes with some clear and white powders.  I was going for a rustic look so I only added one layer of powder to let the background kraft paper show through a bit.

Here's a close up to show the embossing details on the snowflakes.  As you can see, the clear embossing powder give some really nice shine and texture to the die cuts.

Hope you enjoyed my holiday card today....thanks for stopping by!  Supplies: WOW! Stamps: Funky Border Strips (polka dot background) from WOW! WOW! Embossing Powders: WM03 Pastel Blue, WL01 Opaque Bright White, WA01 Clear Gloss Papers: Bazzill kraft cardstock, Recollections patterned paper Ink…
