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 …

Hello everyone, Erika Taylor here and I'm so glad to be back creating again. Although the process is taking a little more time, the break was so needed and I feel that I've gotten a little more clarity.

Today i'm sharing with you a project filled with love. I used a combination of Whirly Pop, Cable Car and Opague Pastel Pink Wow Embossing powders to create this "Lovely" home decor item. I wanted something that could actually stay up all year long and found this beautiful charger plate on sale for $2.00 for the base of the project.

Here are a few photos for ya

First off a photo of the materials I used. Feathers, a charger plate, wooden hearts and letters, and my favorite Wow Embossing Powders.



a close up of the heart for you as well. I love marbling two or three colors of Wow Embossing Powders together for a great textural effect.


I used a few Valentines sprigs and some May Arts lace as well to give a little more UMPH to the project.



 The wooden letters have been emboss…

Use your dies and Wow! Embossing Powders to create your own unique and
awesome embellishments.
Simply cut out the desired shape, cover it with Versmark and add several
colors of embossing powder next to each other. There is no need to heat the
first color before adding another color, just make sure to tap off the
excess powder in between 2 colors. Then heat emboss. After that put a piece
of punc…

Hello, my dear crafty friends! Iritis here today and this time I am going to show you my new and very much embossed card.
For a long 4-5 month I was doing scrapbooking pages and altered projects for this  blog and this month was my turn to make a card. So I made one and then I decided to enter it to the web magazine and they  took it for the publication.Good news and bad news. As this card can't be posted here till August and I had to make another card for this post.
So here is the new card-summer colors, but in a kind of a muter way.
I very simple card made for WOW Embossing Powders blog post.


I used this Flowers Wow stamp and then heat embossed it with 4 summery embossing powders: Sour Lemon, Whirly Pop, Gummy Bear Green, Cotton Candy
My  tip here is to use a white pigment ink and not a Clear embossing one as I really want to see that the whole stamp will be shown. The second tip is  to put your cardstock on the top of your inked stamp and to use some roller  to get better impression…

Today I am using my Cheery Lynn Dies along with some fabulous stamps and embossing powders from Wow Embossing Powders by the lovely Suzy West. I cam across this adorable bookmark on Etsy:


I always look at things and think..ooh, I could do that even though I do not have the exact supplies the original was made out of.  With all my Cheery Lynn Designs dies, I knew I would be able to make my own version of this Japanese Kokeshi doll.  I also knew I wanted to use all of my WOW EMBOSSING GLITTERS and WOW STAMPS to accentuate the patterned papers I was going to use for the doll. Here is my version...


My doll is much bigger than the bookmark and I have turned it into a plaque rather than a bookmark.


For the doll and clothing I used Scalloped Circle Stackers and Scalloped Oval Stackers.


I enhanced the dies and patterned paper with the Wow Embossing Powders and Stamps. You can see the sparly patterns on the dress and the background and I used one of the WOW STAMPS from the "CALL ME" for th…

It's spring here in the USA!  I love the bright colors of the new flowers peeking through and I LOVE the bright colors of WOW Embossing Powders!  I was inspired by these colors in creating this page about my 3 year old son.  He is such a ray of sunshine and I wanted to create a page that was like a celebration!

   I used a doily as a mask for two of the designs and then used the doily that I stamped the embossing ink through to emboss with the Gummy Bear Green.
 Add a Grungeboard number 3 embossed with Black Glint powder and add some twine and it creates teh focal point of the page! I adorw how it sparkles and still shows that texture of the number!
I think I need some birthday cake after this project!  The powders are so delicious looking!!   Thanks for letting me share today!

Materials:
Suzy West Collection- Whirly Pop, Gummy Bear Green, and Cotton Candy.

Hi everyone!
Benedicte here! I'm glad to show you this Book of me mini album. It's just a kind of copybook made with kraft papers that I'll fill in all along the year. Here are the cover and the first pages. For the cover, I used the leaves from the Gratitude stamps board that I embossed with some Olive powder.For the following page, I embossed a part of the Gratitude board with some "Whirly pop" powder : I think it really gives contrast to the white doilie.








Finally, for the third double page, I embossed the Gratitude board with the "Sierra Sunrise" powder : I love the glittering effects :) On the other page, I embossed the flower background set with some Olive powder.












I hope you'll get inspiration from this mini, and that you'll want to make your own to tell about yourself thanks to your photos and stories.
Talk to you soon on Wow blog!

Hi there!
Birgit here today with a little love canvas.

I first covered the canvas with tags, a doily and pieces of book paper. On top I put a thin layer of Gesso leaving some parts of book print uncovered. On those parts I stamped with bubble wrap and Versamark and embossed it with WOW! clear gloss regular. This keeps the book print visible and creates a resist for the Tattered Angels glimmer mist that I sprayed on top.


I layered a piece of Punchenella (Sequin waste) as a mask in the left upper corner and filled a couple of spots with Versamark and then embossed it with WOW! Metallic Silver regular. After spraying the whole canvas with glimmer mist I took a little piece of cardstock, used my crop-a-dile to punch out a couple of little holes and layered it on the canvas. I filled in the holes with Versamark, removed the cardstock mask and embossed the little circles with Suzy West Whirly Pop regular.


A heart cut from book paper was sprayed with glimmer mist. I put a piece of Punchenella o…

Hi everyone!
Today, I'd like to show you this layout, 100% made with inks, masks and stamps. You'll find out that it's very simple to create your own backgrounds.
First, select the photos and the colors you want to use. I chose Wow's Honey, Olive and Whirly Pop colors. I also used Tattered Angels Tuscan Sun, Vintage pink and Vanilla Breeze inks and a mask from the Crafters Workshop. Put the mask onto a white paper and spray the inks. Then, put some versamark on a stamp from the set Call me and use it on the background.
Apply some embossing powder, take away the remaining powder and heat with a heat gun.






Do the same with the hearts from the Gratitude stamps board and some Whirly Pop powder. Do it again with the frame of the Gratitude stamps board and some Olive embossing powder.



Use the leaf from the Gratitude stamps board many times with Olive and Gummy Bear Green colors on a few stiff white papers. Then, you'll be able to cut them out and stick them onto your backg…
