A Challenge To Make Your Own Embellishments!

Hello WOW! fans! Jan here with a fun and easy challenge. Do you ever have an embellishment that you'd like to enhance or change the color or texture of? WOW! Embossing Powders work well on metals, chipboard and papers. I used WOW Embossing powders on all of the above to complete my "Nutcracker Sleigh and Mini Album". The chipboard on the side of the sleigh has been embossed using Presidio Purple. The sleigh pattern is my design.

A peek at the inside of the mini which is made using Graphic 45 packaging, Nutcracker Sweet paper line, Cable Car Red, Presidio Purple and Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder.

The cover of the mini is a shaker with tiny jingle bells. I have left the clear window in place and heat embossed with Metallic Gold.

Handy Stamp Storage Idea

Hello everyone... Happy Tuesday! :D

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…

Life's A Beach

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…
