Hi everyone and welcome back to our creative WOW space! Raluca here and I'm so excited to share with you my new CAS card showcasing WOW! Fab Foil that are amazing and they come in a beautiful variety of colors! 

I created this card to play along with the "Foils" theme for the Wow! Embossing Powder Facebook Fan Group page monthly challenge - ❤ WOW Embossing Powder Fans ❤ https://www.facebook.com/groups/WOWEPFans/
For my card I played with the gorgeous WOW! Fab Foil - Bright Gold and the WOW! Bonding Powder embossing powder, along with the WL01 Bright White embossing powder. I've also used these WOW must have tools WOW! Embossing Ink Pad Refill, Conditioner & Freestyle Tool, WOW! Superior Smooth White Cardstock - A4, WOW! Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad, WOW! Dual Speed Heat Tool - Euro and WOW! Premium Embossing Craft Mat.

I started my card by preparing a panel from white cardstock and die cut it in half using a border die.  Then, I chose a watercolor panel…

I could easily have left it there, but I looked at the little pile of discarded foils ( I do keep every scrap - like you do!) and the butterfly die and had one of those light bulb moments.


What if I took a piece of double sided sticky sheet, die cut the butterfly from it and applied the bits of foil randomly over the sticky surface?


As there were so many little bits in odd shapes, it created a crazy abstract pattern with the foils. I was liking it more and more.


I added another colour, simply pressing the foil down onto the sticky surface and pulling up. Just like a wax strip! Enough said!!


I kept on going, filling in the spaces until I could feel no more sticky. I was thrilled with the res…

Hi Everyone,

It's Jenny here with a video showing you how to use WOW! Fab Foils with WOW! Bonding Powder.  I've been meaning to try this technique forever and I found a few tips and tricks along the way which I thought I'd share with you. 

You can check out the video over on WOW!'s YouTube Channel here:



I took advantage of the opacity of the foils by choosing coloured cardstock to foil on - pink, purple and dusty rose from my stash. 



For this card, I used the Pink Fresh Studio Dainty Botanicals stamp set.   All of the images were stamped in WOW!  Embossing Ink and then I added WOW! Bonding Powder and heated it.  Exactly the same way as you would with a normal embossing powder.


One of the tricks with foiling is to have your foil ready to go and heat the bonding powder a little longer than you would with normal embossing powder, then immediately add the foil.  I find it helps to use a teflon bone folder to burnish the foil, and then 'waft' the cardstock a litt…
