I left my heart in San Francisco

Hey there!
Just jumping on the blog today to share a summer vacation layout with ya! I don't know about you, but I love to scrap with the seasons. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true. :) Last summer we went on a mini vacation to the city by the the bay.  I fell in love with it, and just like Tony Bennett sings, I left my heart in San Francisco.
I love our WOW powders, since our colors are so vibrant,  they go with just about anything you have, from any paper manufacturer.  For this layout, I used three colors:  California sunshine, bay area blue, and cable car red - all  in the Suzy West "By the Bay" collection.
I had some plain chipboard thickers from American Crafts, so I just rubbed them in my embossing ink, and then dumped on the powders, and Voila, custom made title that matches my layout perfectly!
Super duper easy! I started doing it on every layout, and became addicted.  ;)



See, this is evidence of my addiction...another layout, another perfect match.  For this "hello…

I still do!

Hi there and welcome to the WOW! Embossing Powder Blog. Here is Birgit sharing a layout today. My husband and I are together for 26 years and in march we celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary. 

Let me show you how I created this page. First I sprayed glimmer mist at the top of the paper and dragged the paint down the page using a bank card. I stamped the heart with Versamark and embossed it with WOW! Primary Ebony.

Then I stamped the heart a second time on scrap paper and cut out the inner part with a craft knife. Now I could use it as a mask laying it on top of the embossed heart.

I put a piece of Punchanella on top of the mask and filled the dots with Versamark using a piece of blending foam.

Then I took away the punchanella and the mask and embossed the dots with Suzy West Honey.


After that I put the mask back on top and sprayed the heart with glimmer mist. The embossed parts work as a resist. If I would have put a piece of kitchen paper on top after spraying the dots would have been t…

A sweet photo holder with some WOW!

Hello!  Jen Roach here and today I have a little altered photo holder to share with you.  I recently attended a scrapbooking convention here in Ontario and I picked up a project kit for this great little spool photo holder.  Of course, I had to add some WOW! to jazz it up a bit.


I stamped the background file folder cardstock with the WOW! Brocade stamp and then embossed with West By the Bay Collection -  Tea Garden Green (SWWH03).  I also stamped the blue cardstock with the Brocade stamp and embossed with Suzy West Pantry Collection - Blueberry (SWWJ06).

I added a few rolled rose felt flowers with pearl centers near my photo.
As you can see adding the heat embossing to the background adds so much shine to your project.  It's a bit difficult to see but I used KI Memories stickers for the sweet heart sentiment and covered them with some pearl paint to add even more dimension.
I also used the Brocade stamp and Suzy West Pantry Collection - Blueberry (SWWJ06) on the kraft paper for the b…

Thank you so very much by Sesil Cratin

I had so much fun using the "Gratitude" stamp set.  I was able to create a 3D flower by stamping and cutting out  three sets of the flower petals then layering on top of each other.  I used the border stamp along either side of the card to give it a little frame around the entire card.  I was able to use the Suzy West - Serra Sunrise Embossing Glitter to pull all the colors together on the card.


Thank you so much for stopping by the blog. Please leave a comment and let us know what you think of the great WOW! Embossing Powders and stamps.  Hope you have an inspired day!

Sunshine around us: WOW style

Hello, my dearWow friends! It's Irit here again and this time I am going to share my new page made with lots of gold and yellow and a lot of sunshine around us.

I took this photo during our Georgia (the country, not the state) last summer trip and this fantastic fresh sunflower was all I needed for this summer shining page.



I used Pion's Designs papers (but nobody can see it after all this messy and massive misting, painting and embossing).
The basic mists were made with Tando Creative masks (flowers and leaves). Then those green dots were heat embossed with Suzy West Earthtone Olive Regular embossing powder(I used a clear embossing ink over the  Dots mask ) and heat embossed it after.
The K&Co velvet title was also heat embossed with Suzy West Sierra Sunrise gold embossing powder.
The flower chipboard from A2Z Scraplets was white inked (as this bare brown gives all embossing powders some mute look). Then I heat embossed the leaves with the same Earthtone Olive and added some S…

Wow Embossing Powder and Stickers

I have a fun way to show you how to use stickers and embossing powder together.

1. Start with a sheet of stickers that has interesting shapes that you would like to use for embossing. Here, I chose the arrows.



2. Cut around the shape that you would like to use and remove the sticker. Peel the backing away from the remaining piece.



3. Stick this "mask" onto the paper where you wish to emboss.


4. Use a small embossing pad to ink the area. Make sure not to go off of the mask.



5. Sprinkle with embossing powder. I used a mixture of Wow's Suzy West Earthtone Honey and Earthtone Nutmeg.



5. Shake off the excess powder and heat set.



6. If there are areas that were not embossed, simply color in those areas with an embossing pen, add more powder and reheat.



** I also embossed my cloud stickers to give them more texture. Rub the embossing ink over the surface, sprinkle with Wow Opaque Bright White powder and heat set.

Getting ready for the big day!! Plus a DT call!!

You know it's CHA time because I haven't been going to bed til' 2am and I've been getting up at around 5am!! LOL This is what happens every year for a lot of designers. We don't sleep. LOL We eat, breath, and think CHA. I can't wait to see the HUGE CHA sign that hangs in front of the convention center. I think that's when it becomes real for me. It becomes even more real when we get in and see the HUGE room that looks like a warehouse and there are no rugs, no curtains, no displays...nothing and realize...Oh ya...that's me that has to put this booth together. LOLI'm excited about the ton of projects my team have created for the booth! They are so beautiful!! As you can see they are super creative!!!
