Hello everyone, Jenny here and in keeping with our pastels theme this month (check out the WOW! Embossing Fans facebook page to take part in our monthly challenges!) I have created three pastel colored backgrounds with different mediums, all of which I have heat embossed on for the focal image.




I have a video to share showing you how I created all of these cards over on the WOW! Embossing YouTube channel:



My first card uses watercolor to create the pastel background.   I used handmade watercolor paper, and heat embossed the Catherine Pooler Cottage Garden background stamp (after using my powder tool) in WOW! Embossing Opaque Vanilla White embossing powder.  I'm enjoying using the different white embossing powders WOW! has and I'll be showing you another one in an upcoming post.   They are ever so slightly tinted - although it's hard to tell in the photo, this one is just like Vanilla Ice Cream!


To watercolor my background, I used Distress Inks in pastel colors - Shaded Lil…

Hi Everyone!   It's Jenny here and I'm excited to be joining you with another post featuring WOW!'s Fab Foils.  Today I'm focusing on black and gold which is one of my favourite color combos -  super cool but also pretty elegant in my humble opinion!



I'm using liquid adhesive to apply my foil for these cards.  I only tried this with FlitterGlu which I have used in the past for applying gold leaf.  You could try it with other glues and see if it works though!
I created a video showing you how to create these cards over on the WOW!  YouTube channel:



To create this first card, I die cut the letters using Altenew's Bold Alphabet. I die cut 5 of each letter and adhered 4 together, saving one of each letter.  


 I then applied FlitterGlu with an ink blending tool to the bottom of each of the letters. (I squeezed a bit out on my craft mat and dunked the blending tool in it).

Then the fun part - use WOW! Fab Foil (I used Gold) and press it into the glue - I used a bone …

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…

Hi Everyone!

It's Jenny from the Creative Team here and today I'm joining you to share two card projects which use layering dies and layering stamps with embossing powder to create gorgeous shine and dimension.

You can check out the creative process over on the WOW! YouTube channel or here:


I love layering stamps - but I'd never tried them with embossing powder except as a highlight layer.  The new WOW! trios really excited me and I got the idea for these cards because some of the hard work is taken out of working out which colours to go for with the trios.  They're perfect complementary colors that go great together (either tones or combos) and super for this technique.


For my first card I used the Aquatini Trio which includes Curacao and Splash embossing powders and a glitter.  I only used the embossing powders for my first card, and I supplemented them with Cloud 9 for the middle layers, Seaglass for the lightest layer, and Sparkling Snow for the centre.   I heat e…

Hi Everyone!  It's Jenny here, and today I have a video for you that shows you two techniques - embossing with stencils, and create ombre effects with embossing powder.


I absolutely love the ombre effects you can get with ink blending or watercolor, but it's a little more tricky with embossing powder if you're trying get a nice blend without that harsh line between colours. I show you a simple tip to fix that, and the best thing about it is it works with any combination of colours you can think of!

Check out the video below or over on the WOW! Embossing channel to see how.


Both of my cards feature tone on tone backgrounds which I created by smushing the WOW! Embossing ink pad through a stencil (I'm using Alexandra Renke stencils for both cards) and then heat embossing.   For the red card, I used Primary Apple Red powder, and for the blue I used Mint Macaroon which gives a lovely pearly finish.  I die cut them both with a Studio Katia die and adhered them to a white 110…

Hi Everyone, it's Jenny here and I'm so excited to be joining you today with my first official post for WOW! Embossing as a member of the Design Team!

I have a video to share with you today that shows you how to create imprints in all over embossed panels and create some really stunning effects.    You can check out the video here and over on the WOW! Embossing YouTube channel.  I'm using the new WOW! Dual Heat embossing tool in today's video, which some of you may have seen at Creativation - it was featured in a lot of 'top spots at Creativation' and I concur!! Love this tool!!



My first card uses a red rubber background stamp and WOW! Metalline First Frost embossing powder to create an all over impression in the liquid embossing powder.


Once the embossing powder cools, you're left with a beautiful set impression which you can then embellish with stamped images or die cut sentiments - the sky is the limit with this technique, even just using only one embos…
