Family Layout with WOW

Hi this is Jenifer here with my family project.  I did a fun messy layout of my family to give you an idea of how fun and messy Wow can be.   Step 1:  Using the funky boarder strip stamp and the clear gloss super fine embossing powder stamp on the dots.  This will be your first layer.  Heat set. Step 2:  Using some sprays or even some water color paint over the embossed dots.  The embossed dots act as a resist and the fun colors will make them POP. Step 3:  Layer!! Layer!! Layer :)  first I did the thread then I dug into my scrap bin and put together some flags along the bottom of my picture.  The fun scallop along the bottom of my picture is a doily that I cut apart.  Step 4:  When everything is adhered in place attach some flowers and a WOW flower center.  I used opaque pastel blue and cotton candy with the Melt it and got this fun swirl effect.  Last but not least I wrote family in the bottom corner with a WoW pen and ebony embossing powder to complete my page.
I hope you have enj…

Layered Cakes Frosted with Embossing Powder

Summer is almost over but I still have a few more birthdays and weddings to attend. What I love about these events are the cakes, especially layered ones! 
I came across a tutorial on this technique while feeding my addiction to YouTube. 
Using paper scraps (who doesn't have a mountain of these), you can cut rectangles to put together into a layered cake. 
Start with a sketch, on cardstock, of the cake that will fit your card and be the base of your card creation. 


Step two is to cut rectangle shapes from various paper scraps to fit the layered shapes in your sketch. 





Step three is to adhere the layers to the sketch. You can choose to outline each layer for a little more  emphasis. 

The final steps are to cut out the cake and emboss it with a layer of regular or ultra high clear, glitter or any other delicious Wow embossing powder to give this cake it's body and luster. 
The mini cakes are great for cards, scrapbook pages or gift tags.







You don't need hours or a special recipe for t…

Make a Wish... Stamp Set

It feels like spring already arrived in Northern California. The weather has been warm and sunny all week. I know next week will bring fog and rain, so I took advantage of the weather while I could.

I've been wearing lighter, brighter colors and my mood lightened with it. As I was thinking of my project for today, I channeled my mood and colors into a card.

I could not quite decide between a gift card holder and a birthday card, so I did both.

The stamps are all from WOW!'s new release "Make a Wish" stamp set (STAMPSET16).



The technique is layering a few mats and stamped sheets to create a split, dimension effect. I used measurements shared by Dawn Olchefske, a stamping demonstrator and avid crafter on her YouTube video from last summer. I tried to do my own measurements, but was failing miserably. So, I started with hers and adjusted them a bit to include the gift card holder (see these notes at the end). 

Dawn's Measurements: Largest Section: Base - 8 1/2" x …

WOW-up your canvas

Hi there and welcome to the WOW blog today!

Last weekend I have been teaching some fun workshops at a Dutch scrapbook store called Scrap4Fun.
In one of the workshops we used WOW Embossing Powder to spice up our canvasses.



Do you notice that I put all the cans up-side-down? That's how I store them in my studio too. Makes finding the right color a lot easier :)
This project is one of the examples i made for the class:


After creating the texture for the background and all the painting we finished the canvas with adding a lot of interest using WOW Embossing Powders.
We stamped and embossed all the circles around the book paper circles and used Punchinella stars and dots to create extra texture.




Colors used: Suzy West Cotton Candy regular, Wow Magical Mauve Embossing glitter, Wow Earthtone Grape, Wow Earthtone Pomegranate, Wow Opaque Bright White regular.
And here are some of the results. Don't you just love how they all turned out so differently?!

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonde…

September Wow Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to the Wow Embossing Powders Blog. Today is Challenge day and that means you are all invited to play along.We'd love to see your creations so listen up!!!

Erika Taylor here, and for this months challenge, I have decided to CREATE COLOR ONLY WITH EMBOSSING POWDERS!!! That's right, The challenge this month is to create a project that is either black, white, or kraft and ALL the color is made by using EMBOSSING POWDERS. Sound hard? I know you can do it!!!

To give you a little inspiration for this, I've created a layout using Silver, Cotton Candy, Opaque Primary Azure and Berrylicious embossing powders. 

Here are a few close ups of the layout for you to see. The frames, and stars are all shimmery from the Silver Embossing Powder. Love these colors!!!





Now for the entire layout. A great way to use those embossing powders to create interest and color on any project.


Now it is your turn. Once you have created your project using embossing powders as the ONLY F…

Moments to share

Hello, my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here and this time with a project that maybe looks like a card, but it's not a card but an altered chipboard.  When this project was crafted I was still waiting for my new stamps and powders, so I used whatever I had and WOW- I really like the final result.


I made this altered chipboard mini tray with Tando Creative chippies and added a piece of 7 Gypsies paper to the back. Then the fun with embossing began.
First I added a  strip of double sided glue to this boat chipboard and then heat embossed it with Cotton  Candy blue powder. Then I covered this embossed strip and painted the boat with white pigmented ink and heat embossed it with a several layers of Clear Ultra High Gloss  embossing powder.
The frame was heat embossed with  Earthtone Blueberry.
The arrows - with Earthtone Nutmeg  and the compass with just a bit of Cotton Candy.
All pieces were connected to this travel tray and  some Tim Holtz stickers and a nib were the last touch.
I hope you …

A Card and a Canvas- Erika Taylor

I love taking color and making it sing. Rainbows, butterfly wings and flowers are all full of inspiration for me and today I've got 2 projects to share with you that are BURSTING with color.

Hello everyone, Erika Taylor here today to share with you an easy to create card and a whimsical canvas. First lets start with the card. For this piece, I used a combination of Bubble Bum, Cotton Candy and Rich Gold embossing powder. I took the cotton candy and Bubble Gum embossing powders and covered a piece of White card stock with them. I heat embossed and let completely cool.

Once the card stock was cool, I put a flower stencil on top and with emboss ink, covered the piece with ink. Then poured gold embossing powder on top, removed the stencil, heat set and VOILA!!!


Love the look of double embossing. You can create your own custom backgrounds using any colours and stencils. I also added a little Embossing Powder to the handmade flower to tie it all together.


Here is the finish project tied up …

Quality Time

Hey there WOW! fans, Tanisha here with a layout featuring some of my favorite WOW! powders and WOW's Call Me Stamp set.

I used an embossing pen to outline the butterfly seen here and then used Earth tone Paprika to highlight the outline.  I embossed the pre-made chipboard embellishments with Neutral Ultra Shimmer embossing to add a little bling.
I used the postage stamp from the set to create my own patterned paper strips using Earth tone Honey and Cotton Candy. 
I changed the color of the chipboard alpha by first embossing them with Ebony powder.  Once cooled, I re-inked and then embossed with Black Glint embossing glitter.


WOW Products Used:

Earth tone Paprika
Earth tone Honey
Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter
Cotton Candy
Ebony Regular

Blast From the Past!

Jen here and it's my 20th high school reunion this weekend (and my 38th birthday;) and I thought as a tribute to those good times, I'd create a layout with my senior portrait from *gasp* 1992!
 My graduating class started posting photos from our time in high school on our Facebook page and I went digging for "old" photos... I found lots of fun and memorable ones.  There was no Facebook or email then... I guess it was a simpler time.  Can you imagine what we would have done with that technology?

This layout was fun to make!  I started with a woodgrain paper and added VersaMark ink through some punchinella and added WOW!  Bright white powder to it.  I love this powder... it's so opaque and bright!
 Next, I stamped a Basically Bare chipboard frame with VersaMark and used Bronze Metallic on it.  I added some more VersaMark and mixed Cotton Candy and Earthtone Olive to create a patina look to the frame.


 Underneath that fun frame, I layered a canvas page from Basically B…
