Vintage Heat Embossing with Laurel Beard

Hey there! Laurel Beard here again with you sharing a new technique (to me anyways) you can do with your embossing powders! Sometimes, you want may want a vintage feel to your cards and if you do, than this technique is for you! Check out the video below to see what I mean!

But adding that extra step of embossing really is a wow moment.

Shimmering Holiday Card with Dana

Hello, everyone!

It's Dana here coming back with holiday card today. As you know, our October challenge theme on the WOW Facebook Fan Group is *Shimmers* and here is my inspiration for you.


For today's card, I used only die cuts and WOW! products in my main images. I started by die cutting deers from kraft paper and antlers from kraft paper after adhering double sided tape.


I then rubbed deers with Embossing Pad and sprinkled Aladdin Embossing Glitter and heat set them 2 times using Dual Speed Heat Tool. This new heat tool is strong and fast and makes save my time a lot! And I'm in love with its pretty white design :)


Next, I peeled off double sided tape sheet on the antlers and sprinkled Bridal Sparkles Glitter first and then added Your Carriage Awaits Sparkles Glitter.


I mounted wide double sided tape on the white card stock and die cut into hillside shape. I then made snowy hillside by sprinkling Bridal Sparkling Glitter on it.


Sentiment is white heat embossed onto bla…

JUST TO SAY...DOUBLE EMBOSSING

Hi everyone! Martha Lucia here hosting with you new inspiration. Today I want to share a card using the Double Embossing Technique and I have step by step of this card to share with you.


Here is how I created this card:
1. Cut your Very Vanilla card base using a piece of card stock of 4-1/4"x 11" and make score in 5-1/2". 2. Cut a piece of Glossy paper of 3-3/4" x 5". 3. Ink the Glossy paper piece using the WOW Embossing Pad. Press the ink pad directly over the card stock to cover the whole surface. 4. Cover all the inked surface with WOW Gold Pearl Embossing Powder. 5. Melt the powder using the WOW Heat Tool.  6. Since this is translucent powder, you may need a second layer to have a uniform and complete covering. If this is necessary, just repeat steps 3, 4 and 5. 7. Take the WOW Secret Garden Stamp and ink it well with WOW Embossing Pad. 8. Stamp the inked WOW Secret Garden over the embossed piece with Gold Pearl. 9. Cover the stamped image with WOW Metalli…

EMBOSSING GLITTER & TEXTURE PASTE: GLAMOUR COMBINATION

Hello dear friends! Martha Lucia here to share with you a technique that I love to use to create a glamorous and unique piece of art. Usually I use this technique to create cards but you can make whatever you want.


To make this technique you only need a stencil, texture paste and any color of Embossing Glitter. In my sample I used WOW Midnight Dream Embossing Glitter. Let me show you how easy it is to make this.
First you have to secure your card stock under the stencil. I used the Bold Floral Stencil from Hero Arts. Then apply the texture paste using a pallet or knife until have an uniform layer. 
As soon you finish, remove your stencil and cover the entire surface with the Wow Midnight Dream Embossing Glitter. Let it dry totally before melting the embossing with the heat tool. It can take a few hours, but if you wait enough time you avoid big globes on the texture produced by the heat.
Resize your embossed piece and paste this over the card base.  In my sample I decorate the upper b…
