Hello again everyone...
Heather back with a make completely out of my colour comfort zone as I don't usually do delicate and pale... I'm more of a 'in your face' kinda maker!
It's good to challenge yourself sometimes though and so I picked three acrylic paints for the background and just gently swiped the colours around using a palette knife and added some hints of gold using my finger.
Over the background, I used Wow's Sexi-Hexi stamp (and huge apologies as I think it is now discontinued - arghhh!) with their Vintage Romance powder just for some delicate texture.  You could of course use any Wow stamp... French Music or Go Figure would work equally as well.
I then chose a gorgeous Aall & Create A4 stamp, Blossomed Numbers by Tracy Evans,  to cover the background as I wanted a textural look but not obviously textural (you have to look a bit deeper!)  I chose another of the vintage powder, Vintage Champagne, as it has a beautiful subtle twinkle to it and  just l…

Hi all, Jo here and welcome to todays blog post where I make my own full panel of glitter cardstock. 
I also played with Pink & Main Butterfly cover die which I have die cutted the whole panel.
To start the process I pressed the Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Ink directly on the white cardstock coating the whole panel.
I then generously poured the Cloud 9 embossing glitter all over the panel which I then heat set it with the NEW Embossing Tool. 


Put your hands up if you have purchased this heat tool yet?  The Design Team are having an absolutely fun time with it and can not express who much we love it. 
Once I have heat set the embosing glitter I place the cover die directly on top and die cut te panel.  Let me tell you this panel cut like butter dtraight through the glitter. You can see in my process video that it also came out really easy out of the cover die. 

I then placed the sentiment in the MISTI tool and lined this up with the rectangle die cut. I used a sof grey tone ink wh…

Hi everyone,
It's Fran here with you today.
My latest project takes on the theme of the month, favourite embossing techniques. I have showcased a couple of mine in this Spring themed egg shrine, complete with the sweetest tiny bird and nest. Read on to find out what they are!



The project started out with a plain papier mache egg decoration which I attached to a 3D metal cake mould tin via a cotton reel.
I glued a selection of paper flowers on top of the egg, then added flowers and painted all with chalk paint. For my first favourite technique I stamped a honeycomb design stamp from WOW!'s Hearts & Twine set with the Ultra Slow Drying clear ink pad and sprinkled with Clear Gloss embossing powder then melted with a heat tool. 
Next I sprayed gold mica spray ink over to create a resist effect with the clear embossing on the surface of the egg. Into the the wet spray I added Rose Gold embossing powder onto the top of the egg and melted to give texture and contrast …

Hi crafty friends!

It's Fran with you today and I hope you are well and feeling creative. My post today features plenty of bling and shine with this cute box / card combo I created using WOW's new Sparkles glitter.


My substrate was just a plain old gift box I'd saved which I painted with chalk paint. I used Peppermint Stick glitter over stenciling details and added a touch of Perissa embossing powder onto the stones which surround the flowers.



Adding pink and a deep purple inks into the glitter gives a tint and a more blended, softer look to the Sparkles.



Open the box to find a micro greeting card inside! The card is decorated with a heart covered in both Peachy Keen and Prom Queen Sparkles glitter . I softened the heart outline with stones and the Perissa embossing powder which was used on the front of the box.




I stamped the sides of the box with the lines and brush strokes stamps from WOW's new release Wall Art set. I think they work really well togeth…

Hello! Birgit here bringing you some love today!

It's still february, month of love and romance and I want to share with you a simple but fun card.


To create the hearts I first made a gelli plate print, stamping into red acrylic paint using the Vintage Wallpaper stamp.This way you create a mirror image of the stamp. After die cutting the hearts with Sizzix Movers and Shapers - mini hearts set I covered them with Versamark and embossed them with 3 layers of Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.
The hearts were bound togehter with wire and adhered to the card using 3D Foam Squares.


Thank you for stopping by. Happy crafting!
Smiles, Birgit

Hi and welcome to the WOW! blog today!

My name is Birgit Koopsen and this is my first post as a DT-member for WOW! UK. The previous year I was on the US team where I had a wonderful time and I'm sure that will continue here! I hope I will be able to inspire you to use WOW! products in your mixed media projects and layouts and show you why they are so wonderful to work with!

Today I want to share with you a canvas that I sparkled up with hologram embossing powder and Fab Foils to create a frosty, wintery look.


I first create the canvas by layering tags, doilies, tissue paper, lace ribbon and chipboard letters and then covered the whole with gesso. Then I added more layers using modeling paste and stencils, added some buttons and sprayed the project with a variety of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist colours, This is how it looked when I finished all that:

When everything was completely dry (!) I put some of the stencils back on top in the right place and filled in the open spaces with V…
