Showing posts with the label layout

Hello, I love you - a layout by Riikka Kovasin

Heippa and glimmering, glittering July to you from Riikka! This month we are all about embossing glitters here at Wow Embossing Powder blog. Here's my take on the subject! I've been doing several different project types this year but even though I love mixed media really much I still somehow identify myself as a scrapbooker. So for this glitter theme I thought to do a layout with some glitter touches. 

The same applies to glitter as to so many elements in crafting - contrasts heighten each other. So if you want to glitter to glimmer even more, add something mat beside it! So that's why this layout has plain paper elements with the glittered elements, to really emphasize the different surfaces.
If you'd like to see how I made the page and where I used the lovely embossing glitters Wow has in their repertoire in this layout, please see the step by step underneath. To read about the story behind the photo and the page, please continue until the end of the post.

October challenge - Embossing Pen

Hey there WOW fans -- Tanisha here with a fun challenge for you!!  I want you to whip out your embossing pens and go to town.  If you're like me, then you have a ball with embossing powders and ink and stencils, but often forget about embossing pens.  E. Pens are a terrific way to add little details to embellishments or add definition to your doodles. 

I used WOW's embossing pen with opaque bright white powder to highlight my freestyled scalloped border seen here.

I used the embossing pen to trace chipboard stars onto the background and then embossed with bright opaque white powder.
Here, I added a little sparkle to the camera embellishment with Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter.   I simply used the embossing pen to color the areas that I wanted to emboss.


Now, it's your turn to show us what you can do with WOW Embossing Powders and an embossing pen.    Simply create a project and add the link to your project in the comments section.  One lucky challenge participant wil…

Making it Edgy!

Hey all! Tina here with a layout to share with you! I recently got a new shipment of WOW powders... and let me tell you... they are AMAZING!! They suit me to a "T"!!
For todays project, I am showcasing 2 powders...
*WOW Metalic Copper Regular
*WOW Primary Ebony Regular
*WOW Black Glint Embossing Glitter

HELLO BEAUTIFUL

In creating this project, I did lots of paper tearing. Once torn, I dipped the edges into Watermark ink, and then into embossing powder. Once heat set, the look completely metalic! So cool! The music paper was dipped into the Primary Ebony regular first, then the copper. It created a cool burnt look. The striped paper at the top and bottom were both dipped only in the copper
I created the large flowers using Spellbinders Siral Blossoms Three. Once assembled, I embossed the edges using the copper embossing powder. It really brings them to life!

The big flourish is a chipboard piece from Magistical Memories. I covered the entire piece with Watermark ink,…

Candy Counter Collection makes me SMILE!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend awaiting the fabulous CHA releases! I know I am on the edge of my seat here in Sunny Australia waiting and wishing I was there in person to see all the yummy goodies.
Today I wanted to share with you all a quick and easy quilting technique I have used on a layout using WOW Stamps and WOW Emboss Powders.

This was really was quite easy to create and with a square punch would be even easier (I realised I should have used my square punch AFTER cutting all the squares out LOL). Firstly you will need to grab some spare white cardstock and pick the colours you would like to use for your bakground. I have used colours from the Suzy West Candy Counter Collection including Cotton Candy, Gummi Bear Green & Bubblegum. Next up you need to grab your background stamp (I have used WOW Brocade Background stamp) and stamp your versamark or embossing adhesive onto your white cardstock doing one at a time. Sprinkle your powder generously over th…

"Stamping" and Storing

It's Friday baby!!! Hey there everyone, Tanisha Long here with my very first WOW post! I have had so much fun working with these embossing powders and I have to admit, they're quite addictive!!

I found this sketch on the Sketchy Thursdays blog and used it along with some products from Creative Imaginations, Bella Blvd, and WOW's CHA booth neighbors, Basically Bare here on this layout featuring my adorable boys.
To add a little texture to this chipboard gear, I added WOW embossing powder in high gloss silver. I used my finger to brush some of the embossing powder off before heat embossing for more of a distressed look.

Before adhering the gear to my layout, I used it as a stamp.

I inked the back using embossing ink and then stamped in various places on my layout.

I heat embossed as I normally would after stamping an image.

Here are a couple of close-ups of the "stamped" image.

This high gloss is so thick and shiny-- I just love it!

Before I go, I wanted to share…

It's all about COLOR with Wow Embossing Powders

Hello blogging world, it is me Jeannie from The Polka Cabana sharing my first project here for the fantastically yummy embossing powders by WOW. I created a fairly simple layout so that the colors of the powders would really stand out. I started with a picture that I manipulated in PSE.  I wanted the picture and my title to be the background paper.  Here is what I started with.
Yep, that's me..goofy I know but it is what I wanted!! I had the image of what I wanted to do in my head, and here is what I dreamed up!

When I look at this layout, I am just giddy.

I used the Wow Beautiful Clear Stamp set called GRATITUDE.

All the embossing powders I used are from the CANDY COUNTER COLLECTION--Berrylicious, Whirly Pop, Sour Lemon, Gummy Bear Green, Bubble Gum & Cotton Candy.

This is for a book I have decided to do about me.   We all have things that are unique, things that make us who we are.

I am a Sunday School teacher for teenagers and this past Sunday I was talking about the importance of jo…
