Hi, Maya here with my project for this month. I must admit I struggled a bit with this months theme. I love playing with different mediums and experimenting but it's often a happy accident when I succeed in mixing techniques and mediums. I got this idea of making a stormy sea using the puff powder from WOW as foam on the waves and this is the result.


I used distress ink and a mask I cut by hand to make the waves, I added some shimmering acrylic paint on top of the waves and applied the puff powder to it while it was still wet. I also splattered some different mists over the whole piece. The last thing I did was to sprinkle some extra high white embossing powder over the whole piece and applied the heat tool from the back to melt it.

Here is a close up showing the shimmering paint on the waves. 
I hope you got inspired to try some mixed media this month.

Hello my dear crafty friends !
This is my monthly post for WOW! Embossing Powders blog and this month we challenge YOU (and ourselves ) to make three different projects with the very same WOW! stamp (and a lot of WOW! Embossing Powders).
So here is my take of this challenge.


And as got a lot of MOJO , I  made not three , but four cards with the same stamp and totally different techniques. But wait! All cards  can be made in like 15 minutes and this is the best part of the crafting when you are out of time.
I need to  say that it took me much more than those 15 minutes, but it was because I had no clue about the technique I am going to use or the final result of this technique. So I just tried a lot and then , when I made a final cards for this post, it was certain that 15 minutes for each card are sufficient.
I used the same  Blizzard stamp  for all 4 cards and two different sets of sentiments to add the sentiment.
I made all 4 cards the same way: one stamped image with " this or…

This month we are focusing on favorites and I've got plenty of favorites on this card. I used my favorite technique, embossing resist. I also used another of my favorites for the sentiment, negative die cutting. 
I started out by stamping this months featured stamp (De-Vine, another of my favs) with Versamark embossing ink on watercolor paper and embossed it with White Pearl Embossing powder. It looks great as a resist and gives a lovely shimmer. I knew I wanted to use this months featured embossing powder, Calypso, so I used colors that would match it when I colored the background. I used distress ink on a craft mat to color the background, spritzed some water and smooshed the stamped paper in it a few times until I liked the look. It turned out really pretty. 

I die cut the sentiment out of the background and mounted it with foam squares on black cardstock to make it pop. I also adhered the in-between shapes to the sentiment. I made my own custom glitter paper by embossing stri…

Hello there, Maya here with two garden inspired cards. I love gardens full of flowers in all colors. I don't like taking care of my own garden, I've learned the hard way to keep it simple. It's a bit like that with my cards too. I love seeing all these cards full of pretty flowers but I can't make them myself. I had a lot of trouble coming up with some inspiration for the garden themed challenge this month until i remembered to simplify. Well, the technique is a bit time consuming depending on how intricate the design is. One was quicker than the other, but it is so much fun and the effect is great!


Here's how to do it. I used my Cameo to cut out two flower designs out of white cardstock. Save all the pieces, even the tiny ones. For this card (the quicker one) I embossed the outlines with Ebony black embossing powder. I started with attaching the big square piece from around the flowers onto a kraft colored card base. I then glued down the embossed piece like a puz…

Hello! This is Maya sharing a card with you today. I had a lot of fun making this card trying out the Melt It powder for the first time. I think this will be a favorite of mine! I made some pretty roses using Melt It and Metallic Brass embossing powder it turned out very pretty and perfect for the antique theme.

I took a piece of Kraft cardstock and stamped the pretty French Music background and embossed it with orange pearl embossing powder. I also distressed the paper by crinkling it and then adding some ink with a foam applicator to the ridges and edges of the paper. I also splattered some water on top and added Gold Rich Pale super fine embossing powder. It not only sticks to the water but also to some of the ink that didn't have time to dry. It turned out very pretty and distressed. Just remember to heat from the back side if you use water with your embossing powders.

To put it all together I added some natural string and embossed a sentiment on vellum (using the Metallic Pl…

Hi this is Jenifer here with you today to share my project with the "glass" theme.  I couldn't get the idea of a stained glass window out of my head so that is what I tried to accomplish in my card.

Using a background stamp I embossed with with Primary Ebony.  Then using Twinkling H2O's and a paintbrush I colored in the ovals.  I love how it turned out :)  I also used the Everyday Sentiments stamp for the Birthday wishes embossed with Bodacious Blue and the little flower is the combination of Earthtone Grape, Presidio Purple and Berrylicious.
Here is a closeup of the design, doesn't it remind you a little bit like stained glass?

Hi it's Sarah here... :D

Mothers Day has passed here in the UK but I thought I would share with you a vintage inspired card that I created for my wonderful Mum.


I tried a new technique involving heat embossing onto acrylic. I had some clear ornate acrylic frames that were a little too modern looking for the effect that I was hoping to create so I experimented with embossing them... I used a layer of Silver Pearl Embossing Powder followed by a layer of Gold Satin Pearl over the top - you can see that this changes the colour from a modern looking 'silver colour' to a lovely vintage pearl colour. I think the effect works really well - what do you think?






I stamped the "Happy Mothers Day' sentiment from the "Everyday Sentiments Stamp Set"

To complete the card, I created some 3D embellishments using a mixture of Pearl Gold Sparkle, Orange Pearl, Silver Pearl & Melt It Powder. I attached these embellishments along with some others including beautiful lace a…

Hi!! It's Sandie here today with a little WOW! Embossing inspiration for you. This month our theme is Anything Goes and you can find all the details on entering our challenge over on THIS POST. 
I just LOVE making cards with coordinating treat boxes. They are so easy to do and they make such a wonderful gift. We've already had Mother's Day in Ireland the UK but it appears the rest of the world will be celebrating on May 12th. 


For the card I started with a pink base - sized at 105mm x 148mm. I used Victorian Velvet distress ink and the Vintage Wallpaper background stamp to create the bottom panel and I used an embossing folder for the design on the top panel. The butterfly is from the Simply Amazing clear stamp set and I've stamped it out with distress ink and heat embossed it with clear gloss powder before trimming it out with a scissors. The 'Happy Mother's Day' sentiment is from the Everyday Sentiments set. 

Again, I used Victorian Velvet distress ink a…

Hello everyone, hope it's a great Monday for everyone!  Have you ever needed a quick card for just a "hello", or "feel better" or "just because", but didn't have a lot of time? Well, this little card can be done in a jiffy and you can use any colors or sentiments that you want. And you can also use your own handwriting for the reason for the sentiment!!!


All you need is white cardstock, a couple of blooms, and miscellaneous stamps! This is just a 5x7 card with the five little banners. I used a stamp for the first part of the sentiment, then used my own "hello". So you can customize your greeting! I used markers for some "faux stitching" and that was it! Easy! This is just one that you can do really quickly. You could use colored cardstock for a different look, and you could mix your colors on your banners, lots of combinations!!!

Here are the supplies that I used:

Suzy West WOW powder in Bubble Gum
WOW powder opaque pastel pink

Sesil here with a quick card.  I know Valentine's Day was yesterday but that never stops me from making a card for someone I love.  We don't need a holiday to let people know that we are thinking of them or that we love them.  I love sending cards and making cards to brighten someone's day.

Today I have this simple card made by stamping the heart background and embossing on white paper with clear embossing powder.  Then I took a brush and took some ink to the paper to give the ombre effect with the red paint. I love this effect with the embossing image resisting the ink and making the images just POP.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment on vellum paper and adhered it to my hearts.

I hope you were inspired to create a card for someone you love....Just because.

Thanks for stopping by. Make sure to keep checking our blog for more great inspiration using WOW! Embossing Powders.
Keep your heat gun handy....it is time to emboss.
Till next time.  Happy Crafting.

Hello, my dear crafty friends! Irit is here and this time I want to show you a couple of cards I made with Wow Embossing Powders and Wow stamps.This is my last post on USA team and I am moving to WOW EMBOSSING POWDERS UK/GLOBAL team from January, also  those are still pretty much same gorgeous products I designed with for a year.
The first card is this very lovely Bee Happy card.
I used Prima papers, a piece of Honeycomb A2Z Scraplets chipboard and Wow stamp HAPPY from the  Everyday Sentiments set.
The chipboard piece was inked with clear embossing  ink and then heat embossed twice with  Soar Lemon Yellow embossing powder. The Happy word was a part of Happy Birthday sentiment, but I used this plastic Bee for a part of my Bee Happy sentiment after all. I  Used the same Yellow powder for the word Happy.







My second card is this shabby, but yet clean and simple card, made with Brocade background stamp . I used light blue cardstock and white ink to stamp on it, and them heat embossed it with  …
