The theme this month is 'Favourite Stamps' and one of mine is 'Make A Wish' set which has summer written all over it! What could be more beautiful than a dandelion head in the summer sun, ready to burst at any breath of wind?


Creating a watercolour background keeps the main design simple and is a lovely way to show off the Rose Gold powder. Luckily I already had the scrapbook embellishments in my stash which went perfectly with the design. 


What's your favourite WOW! stamp set?

Ahoy, friends! It is Victoria on the blog today, and first of all I would like to wish you warm and sunny summer days! This month our theme for the challenge is Summer  and here is my card to give you some inspiration :) To tell the truth, I am not fond of summer - it is hard to bear the heat, though I like summer vacation on the seaside, and I love to make nautical projects. You can read the description of how-to-make this card just below. I started to make the background, working wet-on-wet with sprays on watercolor paper. First I sprayed the water and then started to add color spray with a brush, drying the splashes with WOW! Heat Tool - Euro . Then I applied white gloss gel through the stencil to create the birds. Also I stamped few triangles with Sparkle & Shine (by Maya Isaksson) - Clear Stamp Set and Wow Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad , sprinkled over WS125 Under the Sea powder and heat set it.

I loved our theme this month and I'm really pleased with how the card turned out.
This is my project for this month....
 I created the blue background by using blue glitz embossing glitter,metallic blue ultra high and totally teal embossing glitter.
The sun and it's rays are created using lemon regular, sunny yellow regular, sunset orange, Easter sparkle, peach gleam and  yellow regular.
I hope you like it.
We would love it if you would join in our challenge this month.

Happy crafting

Hi everyone!! It's Sandie here today, with some Summer Inspiration for you. This month the WOW! design team are creating Summer inspired projects and my take on it was to use HOT colours, 

Taking some white card I heat embossed French Music with Clear Glossembossing powder. I used Dylusions sprays and Glimmer Mist to create the background. Being the impatient type that I am I used my heat gun to dry the sprays and then lightly rubbed a damp baby wipe across the music notes to remove the colour. 

I used the Butterfly and sentiment from theWith Love clear stamp set - I heat embossed the butterfly with Primary Bark and coloured the wings with distress inks. The sentiment has also been stamped out with distress ink and cut out with Nestabilities. 

Don't forget, you can enter our Wow challenge of Summer to be in with a chance of winning 6 embossing powders of your choice!
Have a great day! Sandie xXx

Hi everyone, it's Sarah here with a project that I have made for this months theme of Summer.

I had been invited to afternoon tea to celebrate my friends 30th birthday so I decided to create a summery themed card for her that would fit with our afternoon of tea, sandwiches and cake and what better way than to say Happy Birthday than with bunting!





I started by creating the mini flags. I printed them and cut them out but you could use patterned paper and little alphabet stamps to create the wording that you require.



Next I used a hand punch to create little holes in the corner of the flags to thread the ribbon through




I covered each little flag with Clear Ultra High Wow Embossing Powder and placed on a baking tray and heat embossed these in an oven on a low to medium temperature. I repeated this process three times to get a nice thick coating.



Using 3mm wide white ribbon, I threaded the flags onto the ribbon one at a time.



Finally, I positioned the 3 strips of bunting on the card an…

Hello!  Jen Roach here and today I have a few summer themed cards to share with you. 

I created some embossed cloud circles using an embossing folder (from Darice) and Suzy West Candy Counter collection Cotton Candy WOW! Embossing Powder.  On the card with the pin wheel accent I also added some Suzy West Candy Counter collection Sour Lemon powder around the outside of the die cut.


Here's a closer look at the Happy Days card  I added a few felt die cut clouds to add some more texture.

Here's a close up of the double embossed cloud panel.  As you can see I have a bit of a stippled effect with the blue embossing powder which adds more texture to the card.


For card two, I embossed my background paper with an embossing folder before attaching the double embossed cloud circle. 


And here's another close up look at the heat embossed panel.



Hope you enjoyed my set of summer cards.
