October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and it is a cause that is near and dear to me. My mother-in-law and aunt are both breast cancer survivors of 10+ years! I recently lost a classmate that was the same age as me to breast cancer. Even though I had not talked to her in many years, it hit home how awful this disease is and devastating it is to families, friends, and colleagues. We need to raise money to help fight cancer! I bet each of you know someone who as battled, is battling or lost the battle to breast cancer! So, as a tribute to those individuals, I made a plaque to remind us all to keep calm & journey on! It's a journey to carry on, fight or just give support to those that are facing a challenge like this.
I used some of the WOW stamps from the "Simply Amazing" set. This is the cameo on the ribbon. I stamped the silhouette on a piece of patterned paper with Faber-Castell's Stamper's Big Brush Pen and then stamped the frame with VersaMark and used Metallic Silver Regular. I cut out the frame and glued it to the ribbon with a stick pin holding the ribbon (symbolizing the support for breast cancer awareness).
On the plaque, I stamped the words and ampersand. The words are embossed with Bright White powder.
I used Faber-Castell DMC Gelatos to create the drippy color and the embossed areas acted as a resist.
I created a video with the entire process so that you can see how I created this so you can recreate one for a friend or survivor!
Good morning crafty friends, I hope you're all well and getting very creative this month!
As this month's challenge is summer and I live on an island it seemed only natural that my inspiration card would feature sea and sand.
To create my beach scene I started off with a piece of pale blue card and a rubbed a Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad across the top several times. I then sprinkled WOW Peppermint Tea Powder and Under The Sea Glitter over the top, tapped off the excess and melted with a heat tool. I created the sand underneath using Gold Pearl Powder.
For the sea I ran a line of PVA glue in the middle of the sky and sand with my finger, sprinkled with Under The Sea Glitter and melted with a heat tool. For the waves I added small areas of PVA straight from the nib of the bottle when added Opaque White Powder.
The birds and sentiment I have used Opaque British Summer Powder which is one of my favourite new powders, great colour and great name!
Finally, I added beach in…
It's Sarah here with today's blog post created for our Monochromatic theme.
I don't know about you, but I always find I need to use stamps from a
mixture of stamp sets and I thought it would be easier if I didn't have
to slide each stamp set in and out of the packets all of the time.
I have a bunch of empty CD cases that I had almost thrown out but
thankfully I hadn't as they turned out to be the perfect solution! The
part that holds the CD easily popped out so I could then position my
different stamp sets within them.
I found an old wooden CD box but it had no lid and as all clear acrylic stamps are
best stored out of the light, I decided I would make a box lid for it... not
just a plain lid though... a Wow Embossed box lid!
Here
are brief instructions on how to make it:
STEP ONE
Using pearl silver card, I created a square to the size that I needed (145mm) and added 30mm wide rectangles around the square adding in some t…

Hugs & Kisses
With this one I used the Altenew Halftone Hearts Stamp Set with matching word dies.
I stamped on a panel slightly smaller than my card base and embossed with WOW! Pink Robin, Goose and Bird of Paradise. I then die cut two hearts 'layered' in the panel, stuck the middle back in and raised the outer to create an eclipse card. I stamped the 'hugs & kisses' on a piece of card stock and did the Sparkle technique (instructions i…
