Hi!  Jen Matott here to share a little altered project that I did with a wooden pencil box, WOW Metallics and some silicone molds!   I painted the box and lid with black craft paint and let dry first.








 Then, I grabbed my Prima gears stencil and applied Helmar Crackle Adhesive Step 1 with a foam brush by dabbing.  After it dries, it remains sticky. That is important because you need the embossing powders to stick! I started with the Metallic Gold regular WOW Embossing powders and then used the Metallic Copper regular over it to create a swirl of metallics. They stick to the adhesive and heat up to create a gorgeous surface!

 I did all four sides like that on the outside of the box. I decided that I wanted to embellish the lid with flowers and other metal pieces.  Using my Melt It pot, I added some of the WOW  Metallic Silver Ultra thick embossing powder and allowed it to melt completely.



 I used Martha Stewart's silicon flower and butterfly molds.   I poured the hot, melted powder…

It's been awhile but we're back with some fun new projects for you!  I have a piece of art that I made using WOW Metallic Gold regular embossing powder and Sierra Sunrise embossing glitter.  Using brand new Prima papers from the Divine collection, I created this paper tea cup, banner, and hot air balloon sculpture.  
After constructing the parts (saucer, cup, handle, layers, balloon, banner, and posts), I wanted more sparkle.  So, I used VersaMark to roll the posts in, which are skewers, and then apply Sierra Sunrise to it.  I love this embossing glitter!  It's so sparkly and adds the perfect amount of shine.
I edged the balloon and the edges of the cup and saucer with the VersaMark and Gold Metallic Regular.   It was the perfect touch to this girly project.  



Here's a close up of the edges and the saucer part.  I love this sculpture and used lots of flowers, bling and pretty touches! 
I haven't gotten my hands on the new products yet, but I can tell you that th…

Happy Saturday all of you crafty peeps!   It is that time of year again when our crafty goodness can be turned into gifts, and cards, so lets take a peek at what the gals from Team Glitter Girls are up to! First up we have Jen Matott.  She made a beautiful Altered Gift Tin and Necklace.  This is what Jen had to say about her project! "In the spirit of Christmas, I wanted to create a gift for a girl friend of mine. I used an empty cigar tin that I had found, and covered it with patterned papers. I wanted to pretty up the edges so that the original paint did not show.I dabbed on VersaMark with a dauber and added Regular Metallic Silver powders. They melt so smooth an coat the metal perfectly! To create the necklace, I used an Ideology Facet and cut out a piece of patterned paper for the back. Once it was adhered, I used the dauber again and coated the back and sides with VersaMark.The silver WOW powder created a metal look and finished this piece!It's ready to give!"

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 There! Today we have four girls from the Wow Glitter Girls team to show you some treats!   No tricks on this page, except for some fun new ones you could try on your own projects!   Today we have a little of everything, so lets take a peek at what is here! First off, we have Jenifer Cowles. The inspiration for this layout was the beautiful shimmery Bodacious Blue embossing powder.  It happened to match her daughter’s shirt so she used it as the theme for her layout. "I used the Bodacious Blue, Neutral Ultra Shimmer and Opaque Bright white embossing powders. The Stamps I used were the Funky Border Strips and the Make a Wish stamp."
We love how interesting it is too stamp on the feather, and  love the dandelion image from the Make a Wish set!  It goes together great!

Now, Look at this beauty that Jen Matott has created!   WOWSERS!!! Looks as though Jen did a few different things to create this stunning effect. "I used Helmar's Gemstone Glue with a foam applicator through a…

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and it is a cause that is near and dear to me. My mother-in-law and aunt are both breast cancer survivors of 10+ years!  I recently lost a classmate that was the same age as me to breast cancer.  Even though I had not talked to her in many years, it hit home how awful this disease is and devastating it is to families, friends, and colleagues.  We need to raise money to help fight cancer!  I bet each of you know someone who as battled, is battling or lost the battle to breast cancer!  So, as a tribute to those individuals, I made a plaque to remind us all to keep calm & journey on!  It's a journey to carry on, fight or just give support to those that are facing a challenge like this.
I used some of the WOW stamps from the "Simply Amazing" set.  This is the cameo on the ribbon.  I stamped the silhouette on a piece of patterned paper with Faber-Castell's Stamper's Big Brush Pen and then stamped the frame with VersaMark and…

Jen Matott here with a card that brings a little bit of sunshine to the recipient. I used the "Call Me" stamp for this simple card! 
First, I stamped on the card front directly and used Earthtone Pepper.  I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Olive Vine.  Once dry, I used a sentiment stamp in the upper left corner.  I stamped a corner of the stamp on the small shipping tag and used Earthtone Honey on it. 
I tied a piece of ribbon on the tag and layered it over the corner of the first stamp so that it matched up.  It gives it a little pop of drama... A little sunshine.

Supplies:
WOW Embossing powder in Earthtone Pepper & Earthtone Honey
 "Call Me" stamp set
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Olive Vine
Ribbon: Hug Snug seam binding

Jen Matott here to share a Steampunk-themed project that started out as a card front and emerged into a wall hanging because I just couldn't stop myself from adding more and more!  I started with a shipboard base and used modeling paste through a Prima gear stencil. 

 I used Basically Bare's gears in chipboard and cardboard and applied VersaMark to them and added the metallic powders in Ultra High Gold and Regular Silver and Regular Copper.  These powders create such an amazing metallic surface that it appears to be real metal!  I also stamped a wing onto a wing chipboard piece and embossed the felt key with silver powder!  It gives it a very shimmery and flocked appearance!  The dressform is also Basically Bare and I peeled away the top layer and stamped VersaMark again to the raised areas and embossed Ultra High Gold and Regular Copper.

Here you can see that while the Ultra High Gold was wet, I added a bit of Black Glint to mix in.  Gives it an aged look don't you think?
