Hello! Birgit here today with an embossed mini album cover. 
To create this cover I combined two ways of embossing. Dry embossing with embossing folders and heat embossing. Using these 2 together can create awesome effects.



I first stamped my cardstock with yellow ink to add some extra interest. Of course you could use pattered cardstock as well but make sure to use light colors and small prints to get the nicest result.
I added Versamark on the higher parts of one side of the inside of an embossing folder. To do this lightly push the whole ink pad to the folder surface but be careful not to push to hard or you will also cover the lower parts Then I put the cardstock in with the side I want to be heat embossed (so the stamped side) towards the Versamark and run it through my Big Shot. After that I added Metallic Copper embossing powder to the dry embossed cardstock and heated it.


For the cover of this album I used 2 pieces of cardstock with 2 different embossing folders and applied t…

This is my first posting for WOW Global and I am so excited to be here!!!  
Here in New Zealand it is mid summer, kids are playing on water slides, day trips to beaches,  local parks and enjoying ice cream.  All my photos on my camera are of sunny warm days.  I had this fabulous idea of getting a great photo of all the kids (6)  lined  up eating ice cream but it just did not happen.  So I found myself a bit stuck with this months challenge!  ICE AND SNOW! So I had to put my thinking cap on.  I was at our local garden center the other day getting some lettuce seedlings for the kids to plant when I stumbled across this CUTE bird. I knew I had to take him home! He sat on my table for a while and then it hit me.  I could do a winter theme canvas. I have not played with canvas a lot so I was a bit worried that it would not work. I love what I achieved and will be doing more!
I have started with a wee canvas turned round so I could use the back which created a framed working surface.  I …

Happy Friday everyone and thanks for stopping by today to see what we have to share with you.

Here in the Eastern United States Fall has come and the leaves are a changing on the trees. I just love all the colors of this time of year. For my family Fall means spending lots of time in the woods. Just a few weeks ago we were out in the woods walking around and I noticed some pincones on the ground. I decided to grab a few and bring them home. Of course I was thinking, I wonder if you can emboss on pinecones? Has anyone ever tried this?? Well, I decided to give it a shot.

So here is what I started out with. (I only did the pinecones for this project.)

I decided to do each pinecone a different color. The colors I chose were Earthtone Peper, Earthtone Paprika, and Earthtone Nutmeg from the Suzy West Pantry Collection. I used the wide tip end of a Versamark Embossing Pen all over the insides of the pinecones. I wanted them to kind of have a rustic feel so I wasn't real careful in covering …

Hello everyone!! Tanisha here with with a really cool embossing technique that I used to create acrylic embellishments.  I grabbed my purple cows laminator and hot pockets, embossing ink, WOW's Gratitude Stamp set, powders in a few different colors, and circle dies.

I started by stamping the "looped squiggle" inside the hot pocket and then coated with WOW embossing powders (I did one color at a time).
 Once all of the stamped images were covered with embossing powders, I placed the pocket on a piece of cardstock, to prevent curling, and ran it through the lamintor.

The heat from the laminator melts (and seals) the powders, leaving you with an acrylic sheet to work with.  At this point, you can use the acrylic sheet as is...
...or pull out your dies and put them to work!  I wanted to create a banner, so I die cut circles and cut some of them in half and stitched them across the top of my layout.


I used the other circles to highlight embellishments and create a visual triangle…

Hi, it's Gini here to share a fun fall project with you. I recieved this cute burlap bag earlier in the week, and knew that it would be so fun to alter it as the perfect little gift bag. I cut metal leaves using Cheery Lynn Designs Dimensional Large Leaves. I love the deep embossed patterns. I pulled out some of my favorite fall colors from Wow Embossing Powders and inked the leaves with Versamark. When you heat emboss the metal, it heats up fast - so make sure to hold it with tweezers or lay them on a heat resistant mat. The metal tends to shine through the embossing powder and makes a gorgeous charm for your bag.

Hello!  Jen Roach here and today I have a vintage inspired hello card for you using four of the Suzy West Earth tone colours from the Pantry Collection.  I've used this gradient technique several times now and I love how all the colours coordinate so that you can use them all on one project! 

For this card, I stamped the brocade stamp in Versamark ink onto some white cardstock and then added one colour of embossing powder at a time before heating the whole panel at the end.

Here's a close up of the flowers and embossing.  I used a blending sponge to apply dark brown distress ink across the embossed panel. I used more ink at the edges and then kept swirling inwards.  Another advantage to using some distress inks after embossing is that it covers any of the spots that might not have been completely covered with the embossing powder (due to incomplete inking of the stamp on my part).

Hi Jenifer here with you today with a fall layout for you.   I used the Gratitude stamp and punched several of the tree branches with the leaves.  I then cut out each individual leaf and made it look like the leaves in my photo where actually cascading down the page.  I also used the Metallic Gold on the new Momenta Metal stickers to change the color a little and it worked like a charm and matched my brads :)  Love it when that happens.
Here is a close up.
Supplies: Wow Embossing powders in  Earthtone Olive, Pepper, Nutmeg, Honey and Paprika.  Sierra Sunrise and Metallic Gold Rich Pale Wow Gratitude stamp May Arts Ribbon Momenta Metal Sticker My Little Shoebox, papers and letter stickers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my project today, make sure you come back tomorrow for more inspiration. Have a great week, Jenifer

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.

Hello and a warm welcome from the Netherlands! Today I want to share with you a fun idea to create awesome backgrounds using Embossing Powders and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Dots®Permanent. I really love this teachnique to create a "grungy" background. The adhesive works so well with the powders. First I covered a tag with the E-Z dots.
Then I sprinkled different colors of WOW! Embossing Powderon top.There is no need to heat between colors just make sure to tap of the excess powders very well before adding another color.

When all of the adhesive is covered heat the embossing powder until it all has melted. The texture will look even better once heated.

After that I sprayed the entire tag withTattered AngelsGlimmer Mist to color the background. The embossed parts work as a resist and the paint will not stick there. Here are some close-ups and  the final result:

Thank you for joining me today! Wishing you a sunny and creative summer! Happy crafting! Birgit Koopsen
