VIDEO: Gingerbread Men embellished gift tags with Melt-it!

Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! At the beginning of the month I was lucky enough to go to the creative craft show at the NEC in the UK, and whilst I was there I popped along to the WOW! Marion kindly gave me a one on one tutorial on using Melt-it and I knew I had to try it out for my self. I couldn't resist a silicone mould that had little gingerbread men and thought they would make fun embellishments for gift tags. So today, I'm showing you how easy Melt-it! is.

You will also need a foil case to make the melt-it powder in, and either an embossing powder or glitter to mix with it. If the embossing powder has a 'T 'next to it, you will make …

A Bit of a Drama Queen by Jaine Drake

I love a bit of theatre, who doesn't now and again? Christmas is made for theatre and drama I think and this gorgeous stamp soon to be available to buy, by our own Karen is full of flamboyance! What better than a dramatic black background, the stamped image and a bit of extra bling (if there wasn't already enough) with shimmery gold.

I'm always a bit nervous of stamping and embossing on black but I needn't have worried as this detailed stamp is a dream to use. Embossed with Pearl Gold Sparkle brings out those details in such a dramatic way and creates a gorgeous finished image.
I sprayed the stamped tag with water and scrunched it up in my hands to create the crumpled effect. When this was dry I rubbed a little gold paint over the surface to catch the creases. Before this dried, I wiped over the embossing to clean it off.

To add a little colour to my tag, I added red Ranger Stickles glitter glue to a few of the details and stamped and embossed the sentiment from the st…

Faux Enamel Technique by Jaine

Originally, many years ago, I studied interior design and one of my passions was creating faux finishes. Basically, I altered anything which didn't move and became a little obsessed by creating illusions. One thing led to another and by the time I'd discovered embossing powders I was already experimenting with what I could do with it.

One of my favourites was to create embellishments to look like they'd been enamelled. It really is super easy to do and the result is beautiful.


You'll need a fairly sturdy base for this as it involves lots of layers of embossing, so from some thick card cut a shape like a square or oval, something with a lot of surface area.


Give this 3 coats at least of plain Bonding Powder to build up a nice thick layer.



Go over this layer one more time with Bonding Powder but using a palette knife to drop two or three colours of powder onto this. I used Primary Bluetiful, Heather and Gold here. Heat it up to melt the powder definitely heating from und…

Holiday Wishes Card with Dana

Hello, everyone!
It's Dana here and I'd like to share holiday card with Silver/Gold theme of this month.

To start, I stamped winter images onto white card stock and colored them in with Copic markers. I die cut them out using coordinating dies and let them aside for next step.


I die cut tag from two pieces of bristol papers and ink blended one of them with distress oxide inks. I then die cut another one with border die. I scribbled WOW! Embossing Pen along with its edge and sprinkled WOW! Unicorn Magic Embossing Glitter and heat set it.


After I mounted small pieces on the tag, I stamped sentiment with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with WOW! Red Glitz Embossing Powder.


For background, I stenciled sun rays with WOW! Clear Embossing Ink using mini sponge dauber onto woodgrain card stock. I then sprinkled WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder and heat set them.


Then, I popped up tag onto stenciled panel using foam tape.


I embellished my card with red crystals h…
