Painting with WOW! Embossing Glitter with Jenny

Hi Everyone!

It' Jenny here and today I'm going to show you a couple of fun techniques to combine your gorgeous WOW! embossing glitters with watercolor, including a superfun way to paint with embossing ink!


I also have a video up on the WOW! Embossing Channel on YouTube showing you exactly how I created these cards. 



I first created two watercolor blended panels to act as the backdrop for my embossing glitter.  I used hotpress watercolor cardstock adhered to a board, and then used clear water first to wet the panels.  I smushed some Distress Inks onto a craft mat and then dipped a wide flat paintbrush into water and then into each of the inks.  The panel on the left uses Pumice Stone, Iced Spruce and Stormy Sky, and the right hand side panel uses Squeezed Lemonade and Picked Raspberry.  On each panel I used my awesome WOW! Dual Heat Tool on setting one to dry the panels in between layers.  (I did two layers of each color). 

For the pink and yellow panel, before it dried, I spr…

What is your favourite thing about crafting?
I get into a zone where all my daily stresses melt away without me realising it. It's a great relaxer.

If you could chose to do anything to do for the day, what would it be? I would love to go to a music festival in England again with nice sunny warm weather, pint in hand and watch my favorite bands with my husband who is from the US and never got to go to them. Back when I lived England I was a regular at the Leeds Festival and Download.

Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? 
BUTTONS ON CARDS. I have soooo many buttons. Bring back the buttons!!


What song would you say best sums you up?
I Am The Fire by Halestorm - that song gives me chills - super inspirational and definitely one to kick my bum when I'm being self critical or feeling sorry for myself!


What is your favourite book to read? 
So I typically don't read a book more than once as we have finite time in our lives and almost infinite books! However, I adore …

All That Glitters | Zsoka Marko

Hey crafty friends,
Zsoka here with you with my first blog post on the WOW! Embossing Powder Design Team! This month it is all about glitter! Like every girl I love glitter too! My boyfriend however, not so much haha! I didn't even notice how it covered the whole kitchen floor (my craft space is in the kitchen!). Oh well!
For my cards today I used the lovely Posie Fill-In stamps and dies bundle from Concord and 9th. I cut a piece of watercolor card stock and placed it in my stamping platform. I inked up my background stamp with WOW Embossing Pad and stamped the image. I repeated this once more to get a good coverage.

I poured WOW Bright White Regular embossing powder on it and embossed it.


I then added a light purple watercolor wash so the beautiful white grid is more visible.

It looks a bit splotchy and distressed at this point...The big areas where there's no grid are where the posies will be! Apropos posies...I stamped a bunch of them and embossed them with two different ki…

With Love - video tutorial by Ola

Hi there!

My name is Ola and this is my first post as a member of WOW crafty family.
First of all, I would like to say a big thank you for the invitation to join the team and the opportunity to craft using products I love so much.

For the January challenge ''All about hearts'' I created a clean and simple card using heat- resistant vellum and an embossing blending technique.

Close up photo shown below

For the sentiment I have used Pink and Main ''Love'' Die set which is available at WOW Embossing Powders UK. 
Here is step by step video tutorial on how to make this card. Enjoy!



Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting to all of you! Ola xx

A Little Love

Hello crafty friends, how are we all? I hope alls well in your crafty worlds. This month's challenge is all about our favourite embossing techniques so here's my inspiration.....


There are so many great embossing techniques that it's very difficult to choose a favourite. In the end I went for a simple resist technique around the edges of my card. I stamped hearts from the Layered Hearts Stamp Set and embossed them with Opaque Bright White and Avocado powders.

I then spritzed the card with water and carefully added distress inks to build up the colour. I couldn't resist adding some sparkle and added a strip of double-sided tape through the centre with Sparkles in Jade sprinkled on top.

Finally I added a Big Words sentiment using Iris powder on top. I hope you like it and best of luck with the challenge!

Popped Hearts Card

Hi lovely readers! It's Fran here today with your WOW! inspiration. The hearts silicone mould is so cute I thought I would really go to town with it on this mixed media card.


I firstly stamped a card blank with the arrows stamp from the Sparkle & Shine set then layered with card and cork which I'd punched holes into.


Using the circle stamp from the Pick 'n' Mix stamps to create a pattern around the cork and highlight the punched holes which I'd set adhesive gems into.

For the cork I spread black gesso into the centre to create texture then stuck clay hearts I'd made with the WOW mould into the wet gesso. I sprinkled over Opaque White, Midas Touch and Metallic Gold Rich powders over which I melted with a heat gun. This created a lovely shimmer over the black and the powders picked up the peaks and tooth of the gesso.




Have a wonderful day Fran x
