Hello!
The theme for this month is my favourite thing, mixed media!
I've created my favourite thing, an Art Doll!
As well as plenty of paints and inks, there are rather a lot of WOW products in there too!
I stamped the body using the dots from the funky border strip set, and embossed them using white powder. The 3D heart is created using the heart mould, with clear and process blue powder. To get the swirly effect, add the blue powder on top of the clear powder, then just leave well alone until completely melted. Stir just once, then pour into the mould. The white inner core of the blue powder is not totally released that way, giving the variations in shade...
The 'love' word comes from the Express yourself stamp set. I stamped it onto tissue paper then added it to the body.
I added a strip of hearts to the base, from the Gratitude set..
 The crown has been triple embossed using primary apple red powder, with a layer of white powder as the second layer. The white breaks th…

Hello!
Trish here, sharing my projects for the 'One Stamp, Two Ways theme for this month!
I chose a stamp from my favourite set: Gratitude! I used one of the hearts, and made these....
My first project uses the hearts to create a note card.First of all I used turquoise paint to stamp the dots from the Funky Border Strips set ont scrap card, then stamped the heart multiple times using black ink. I cut them out, then sewed them to more white card. A few circle punches later, and the embellishments were ready to go onto the card blank. This was embossed in Apple Red , using the same dotty stamp as before. As the hearts are attached just down the centre, the sides can be raised for a 3D look....
My second use of the heart stamp starts out the same way as the first..... but rather than sewing the heart to more card, I've triple embossed them with clear ultra high powder! This gives a nice sturdy finish, as well as the glass like shine! I glued the hearts to wire, then attached the …

Hi! It's Sandie here today with my take on this month's DT Inspiration and challenge theme - Glass. 
My card features the Gratitude Clear Stamp set. 

I stamped the hearts with Fired Brick distress ink and cut them out individually. Then I covered them all with versamark and clear gloss embossing powder. Once I'd heat embossed them I repeated the process until there was a thick 'glass' layer on them. I adhered some bakers twine to the back and stuck the hearts down with 3D foam dots. 

I also stamped the heart border with Fired Brick distress ink and the Thanks sentiment with black memento ink.

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by the WOW! blog today. Today I am going to share with you my very first canvas project ever. I have been seeing tons of these lately and finally decided to give one a try!!


Our oldest God Daughter had her first child on Easter Sunday and I made this for her and her husband to hang in their house (if they like it....). So I started off with a plain white 5x7 canvas. I took a few sheets of some older Basic Grey paper that I had laying around and torn them into strips. Using Mod Podge glue I layered the paper strips onto the canvas. Next I took gesso and painted it on top of the paper strips. I sprayed the gesso with water to thin it down so the paper could show through more. Once that was dried I used my embossing stamp pad and inked the entire canvas. I then covered it with Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Powder. After heat setting the powder I then took the heart boarder stamp from the Gratitude Stamp set and randomly stamped the hearts on the canva…

Hello everyone, hope it's a great Monday for everyone!  Have you ever needed a quick card for just a "hello", or "feel better" or "just because", but didn't have a lot of time? Well, this little card can be done in a jiffy and you can use any colors or sentiments that you want. And you can also use your own handwriting for the reason for the sentiment!!!


All you need is white cardstock, a couple of blooms, and miscellaneous stamps! This is just a 5x7 card with the five little banners. I used a stamp for the first part of the sentiment, then used my own "hello". So you can customize your greeting! I used markers for some "faux stitching" and that was it! Easy! This is just one that you can do really quickly. You could use colored cardstock for a different look, and you could mix your colors on your banners, lots of combinations!!!

Here are the supplies that I used:

Suzy West WOW powder in Bubble Gum
WOW powder opaque pastel pink

Hi!  Jen Matott here with a simple page that uses a simple technique.  The design here is based on the tags. I wanted to create a soft, romantic feel here.  Lots of lace, doilies, and subtle hues all around.
  I stamped the leaves and hearts from the "Gratitude" set  and the hearts from the same set and embossed with Bright White powder.
 The tags were colored with subtle tones from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush Pens.   I also colored the lace paper tape with them as well.


I love that I can create a big impact with very subtle tones.  The Bright White powder is one of my favorites especially in resist techniques.  In this case, I created a wash of color with the pens and water.  I literally colored over the embossed areas without fear of it sticking to the embossed areas.  It creates impact without a lot of effort!

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…

Have you seen the wonderful Challenge that Erika put up on Tuesday?  Are you going to participate?  I know I am what an inspiration.
Did you see Birgit Koopsens wonderful canvas?  Her Canvases are amazing.
Hi Jenifer here with you today sharing a quick and easy Mini Album that I made using the Gratitude Stamps and some of the Earth tone embossing powders. I kept the mini small 4x6 that way I could quickly install some of my favorite pictures of this fall season and do some journaling when needed.  I used the leaf from the gratitude stamp and just cut close to the edges, I love how they look like they are falling down the page. Here is a peak at the inside and a couple close ups of some of the cute patterned paper.

 Supplies:  Gratitude Stamp
Earth tone Honey and Olive embossing powders
Gold Rich Pale embossing powder
My Little Shoebox "O Dear Collection"
May Arts Ribbons
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my project today.  Make sure you stop by tomorrow for more inspira…

Hi! I thought I would do a really simply, but dramatic card with black and white. It came together really quickly and looks pretty good! I used black cardstock for the base and added a pretty piece of black and white patterned paper. 

I used the Suzy West "Gratitude" stamp set along with the WOW Opaque Bright White and Suzy West rBay Area Blue powders. The patterned paper had little teeny blue flowers on it, if you look closely you can see them, I used an embossing pen and used the blue powder on them! The white powder on the black just gives a really clean look and pops off the page! This little card was really quick so it would be great for something that you needed multiples of! Pull out your dark paper and use some lighter powders, we'd love to see what you create!!!

Thanks for stopping by, be sure to check back tomorrow for more inspiration!!!

Hi everyone! Amy Prior here today to share a fabulous and easy little tutorial on how to make your own Pin Striped backgrounds. Best thing about stripes is they never seem to go out of fashion!!!!

Today I am going to create a card and although I am starting off with this amazing fun 6x6 paper from Prima, I am actually going to create my own background using this baby as a base. First off you will need some Double Sided Tape in any size you like. I decided to use 3 different sizes here. 

Rip off pieces of the Double Sided Tape and place them on your page to make stripes. You can do them as close or as far apart as you like and you can do any pattern you like if you are using more than 1 thickness. 

Once the Double Sided Tape is all adhered, trim off the excess using your craft knife or a pair of scissors. I found this step easier by flipping it all upside down and using my craft knife carefully.

Next step of course is to remove the backing off the tape. My girls helped with this part LOL t…

Hi All!! So glad you stopped by today to visit the WOW! blog.

Today I am going to share with you a card I made that can be given really to just about anyone special in your life that you love. The color of the background is totally up to you and can easily be changed depending on if you wanted to give this to a male or female. For this card I used Bubble Gum Embossing Powder from the Suzy West Candy Counter Collection, and Opaque Bright White and Gold Rich Embossing Powders from the WOW! Collection. I also used the Suzy West "Gratitude" Stamp Set to make the hearts.


So I started out by using a piece of bubble wrap that I inked up with embossing ink and then pressed onto my white cardstock. I then sprinkled it with the Bubble Gum Embossing Powder, tapped off the excess, and then heated it up.

Next I stamped out four sets of hearts from the Gratitude Stamp Set on black cardstock, and colored them by making two Opaque Bright White and two Gold Rich. I then cut out the hearts and a…
