My dad's birthday was on April 13th (yep, this past Friday the 13th), so I decided to make him an altered art piece to hang at home. Of course, it had to have a picture of his favorite (well, ok, so far only :) grandkids. Also, since it was going to be hanging in full view, where people can come up ant touch, etc, I knew I wanted to use the WOW Embossing powder to do the finishes to ensure good quality - no rubbing off or falling off like loose glitter.





This is a fairly large piece - for the center, I used a 12x12 sheet of Punky Playground (corrugated cardboard from Punky Sprouts), so this gives you some idea of the overall dimensions. The frame was an unfinished wooden frame I got at Michael's fairly cheaply (especially since I used a 50% off coupon). I then misted it with brown, and then used my Prima "Brick Wall" mask to heat emboss with WOW Embossing Powder - Suzy West Collection Cable Car Red. I also used this red on the pretty laser-cut chipboard butterflies an…

May I Have This Dance?

My nephew is such a ham! I have an antique child's dressform in my studio, and it's the same size as he is. Last week end, he just started dancing with it, and luckily, my camera was nearby.

I used lots of my Wow! Embossing Powders on this layout. The heart border around the edges are from the Gratitude stamp set and are embossed with Suzy West's Bay Area Blue. On the chipboard mannequin, I first covered it with the Ultra High Copper, then I put a coat of the Bay Area Blue over that, and sprinkled in glass glitter. The Bay Area Blue is a transparent color, so the copper still shows through some.


My flowers were die cut with the Sweet William dies from Cheery Lynn, and completely embossed with Suzy West's Eathrtone Honey. I love how substantial embossed flowers are - they have a completely different texture.

Finally, I added Suzy West's Earthtone Olive over the foam letters and sprinkled a little glass glitter over them.

Lot of techniques on You!

Hello, my Dear  WOW friends! It's Irit here again  with my  new and multi technical page .
This page was made as my first lo for WOW Embossing powders  for CHA booth and as you can see the whole page was stamped with Suzy WestBrocade WOW background stamp and then heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss regular powder.

 Then it was inked with a mix of Clearsnap chalk inks and the base was done. I also heat embossed the scalloped cardstock with Suzy West Earthtone collectionEarthtone Honey Regular  powder. The tags were Sizzix  die cuts from embossed with the same stamp cardstock, using Suzy West Red Cable Regular , Bay Area Blue Regular  and Earthtone Olive Regular   powders. Then those Epiphany Crafts Round 14 epoxies were made using  the same embossed papers  and I  added Momenta titles. Ok- now for this A2Zchipboard flowers: hand painted with Creative Inspirations Paints and heat embossed with WOW Clear  Gloss Regular powder over the leaves  and Suzy West Earthtone Honey Regular  powde…

The Debut of 6 Girls & a Smoking Gun

We have so many talented and worldly designers on WOW! Today, I am introducing you to my amazing design team, 6 Girls and a Smoking Gun. We’ve been playing (who can call it work when it’s so much fun!) with the new Suzy West embossing powder collections and several other fantastic colors.

I’ll kick it off in the Golden State and share a layout of the day I spent hanging out with my cousins being “tourists” in San Francisco. I created my own patterned paper on cardstock using 2 colors of ink and stamping various images of the WOW! Call Me stamp set all over the page. I love this set!


You can use any color combinations you like and any of the WOW! Stamps to create papers of your own!

Grateful for you!

Hi everyone! Birgit here from the Netherlands. It's cold, windy and rainy here so perfect weather to stay inside and create! And how fun it is to create with these fantastic WOW embossing powders! Love the colors and the structure! And the stamps... just gorgeous! I'm very excited to share my first layout here. I love to create with little strips and blocks of paper in different colors and with different patterns. I'm always left with a lot of scraps, big scraps, because sometimes I only use a one inch strip of a whole sheet of paper. Recognize that? So why not create your own patterned paper and bring 1 single sheet of cardstock to great value? For this layout I cut half a sheet of white cardstock into strips of different sizes. I stamped the strips with a variety of stamps and embossed them with different colors. The tickets and leaves where also stamped on white cardstock and embossed. The little butterflies are actually part of a flower stamp (Gratitude) of which I only use…
