Bold Butterflies with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card using this month’s theme of Foils. I used double sided adhesive to add Bright Gold Fab Foil to some pretty die cut butterflies.


I began by adding some Stick-It double sided adhesive sheet to a piece of white card. From this, I die cut two of the smaller butterfly from the Pretty Pink Posh Bold Butterflies die set, making sure to have the adhesive on the top layer.
I removed the adhesive backing from the butterflies, then placed the Bright Gold Fab Foil over the top. I burnished with my finger, then removed the foil sheet. The foil adheres well to the adhesive sheet. Any areas that are missed, just go back with the fab foil sheet and add more.

Next, I worked on the background. I die cut a rectangle using the Heffy Doodle metric stitched rectangles set. I blended on distress oxide inks in Weathered Wood, Evergreen Bough, and Peacock Feathers.
I flicked the panel with a mix of gold perfect pearls and water, to give more interest to the background. Then I put it as…

Puddle Play with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card using this month’s theme of Foils. I’ve used some Bright Silver Fab Foil to add accents to my scene.


I began by creating a background using distress oxides and blending brushes. I inked the brushes first then tapped them lightly in water. I used swiping motions to add colour to the panel which gives a lovely rain like effect. I added some pink and yellow inks amongst the blues for some extra colour.


Once the panel was dry, I took the puddle and rain stamps from Hello Bluebird Rainy Day stamp set. I stamped images with WOW embossing ink, then heat them with WOW Bonding Powder. I added the silver foil sheet over the top, pretty side up, allowed it to cool, then removed it to reveal the pretty foil details. I did this process in stages so I only needed to work with a small area at a time, slowly building up the background scene.

I stamped and copic coloured some images from the Hello Bluebird Puddle Play stamp set. I added the panel to a white card base, then the…

Happy Happy Birthday with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card with some beautiful embossed die cut words as the focus. I think this style works really well for masculine cards especially.


I began by working on the background. On a white card base, I inked over the Altenew Watercolour Stripes stencil with cracked pistachio and peacock feathers distress oxide inks. I then flicked the background with water for those lovely droplet details.

Next, I die cut the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Birthday script die twice from white card. I temporarily adhered the die cut words to a strip of card, as it’s easier to add embossing ink and heat powders on die cut words if you have something to hold.

I covered the words with WOW embossing ink, then sprinkled on WOW Calypso embossing glitter and heated with the WOW dual speed heat tool. Once the embossing was cooled, I removed them from the strip of card. 

As the embossed words were a similar colour to my background, I decided to offset a white diecut word behind each one. I then adhered the w…

Holiday Wishes Card with Dana

Hello, everyone!
It's Dana here and I'd like to share holiday card with Silver/Gold theme of this month.

To start, I stamped winter images onto white card stock and colored them in with Copic markers. I die cut them out using coordinating dies and let them aside for next step.


I die cut tag from two pieces of bristol papers and ink blended one of them with distress oxide inks. I then die cut another one with border die. I scribbled WOW! Embossing Pen along with its edge and sprinkled WOW! Unicorn Magic Embossing Glitter and heat set it.


After I mounted small pieces on the tag, I stamped sentiment with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with WOW! Red Glitz Embossing Powder.


For background, I stenciled sun rays with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink using mini sponge dauber onto woodgrain card stock. I then sprinkled WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder and heat set them.


Then, I popped up tag onto stenciled panel using foam tape.


I embellished my card with red crystals h…

DIY Glitter Paste with WOW Sparkles..... By Jo Herbert

Hi WOW Paper Crafting Peeps, Jo here bringing to you a very exciting new technique.
Can you imagine making an array of your very own glitter paste?  Well today I show case a technique by using the WOW Sparkles range mixed with Ranger Texture Paste in a Transparent Gloss. 

I started off with ink blending some Lawn Fawn Stitched Heart die cuts with Ranger Distress Oxide inks which what I will add my layer of glitter paste on top off.

I made sure the inked die cuts where thoroughly dry but heat setting with my heat gun. I then moved on to making the paste. To pick up the paste from the jar I used a plastic spatula which is the tool of choice to also mix and combine the sparkles powder and paste. 
The WOW crafting mat is really good to protect your surface as well as use as a mixing pallet.
Check out my You Tube on the mixing process. 


For the card base I have used white top folding cardstock and black cardstock to die cut the Avery-Elle Horizontal Stripes background die. For the sentime…
