Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! Often people see heat embossing is just a way to add some shine to your stamping. But why not use it in a way that adds another design element to your cards.

In today's video, I'm focusing on Spotlight embossing and how you can use heat embossing to add a spotlight/focal element to your card, for which I have several different examples to show you from a simple idea for beginners to a few more stepped up ideas for more advanced crafters. Hopefully, you'll find one method that you like and that you might want to use in your next project.  Spotlight Embossing video:

Today I’m sharing a card using this month’s theme of Favourite WOW stamps. I used the Tropical stamp set with silver foil, for lots of metallic shine.


I began by stamping the Tropical background stamp onto blue card with clear embossing ink. I added WOW Bonding Powder, then melted it with my heat tool. 
Next, I layered silver foil over the top, allowing the bonding powder to cool before removing the foil sheet. For any areas where the foil didn’t stick, I reheated with the heat tool, then reapplied the foil. 

I trimmed the foiled panel down, added a thin black strip, then adhered it to a white card base.
To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the Avery Elle Loads of Wishes stamp set.

Have a lovely day, Gemma

Hello, it's Verity with another video and blog post as a Creative team member for WOW! If you love to play about creating lots of watercolour backgrounds, but then don't use them all up in you cards straight away, this technique is a great way to use up those surplus watercolour backgrounds from when you were playing and experimenting. Using heat embossing, you can trap the watercolour underneath the stamped image, and then lift the colour surrounding it to get stunning backgrounds to use. Whether you use them whole, cut them up or even die-cut from them, you can easily use up those backgrounds to create stunning cards. You can use this with any of you watercolour backgrounds, however, I find it works best when you use panels with bright vivid colours.

Good morning everyone, I hope you're all enjoying the summer! I wanted to share a summery card today which is my inspiration for this month's floral challenge. I started by using the Tropical Stamp down the left hand side of white card which I embossed with Opaque Bright White powder. I then gently applied distress ink over the top with a dabber to reveal the pattern.


For the 3D flowers I used the Secret Garden stamp which a embossed with Blueberry Cheesecake Embossing Powder. I then cut out individual flowers, shaped with my fingers and added pretty gems in the centres.

The sentiment is from the Just Saying stamp set which I've embossed with my favourite colour at the moment, British Summer.
I hope this has given you a few ideas, there's still two days to join in the challenge, why not have a go? I can't wait to see what you make.
Have a great day! Sarah xxx

Hi everyone, I hope you have all been getting inspired by all the beautiful makes on the blog this month. As the weather is getting better I thought I would create a fresh, modern looking card for you.

1 Take a 17.5 X 12.5cm square white card blank and die-cut a circle through the front towards the top. Hand draw orange lines around the outside edges.

2 Stamp the Tropical stamp on vellum with a clear embossing pad and sprinkle with Opaque Bright White embossing powder. Tap off the excess and melt with a heat tool.

3 Stamp a sentiment in blue ink,  sprinkle with Midnight Dream embossing powder and melt as before. Cut into two pennants and attach to the left hand side of the circular aperture.



4 Attach the vellum behind the aperture with foam pads. Stamp flowers from the Hey Little Flower stamp set in three pretty colours and emboss with different powders. Layer up some of the flowers with foam pads.
5 Attach two flowers above the sentiment with foam pads. Glue twine to the backs of the othe…
