Hi!
It´s Katarina here with today's educator post.
This post means so much to me, it´s my farewell to all of my lovely DT colleagues, and a team that I have loved to be a part of. It´s also a farewell to all of you blog readers, that have followed me here, from my first trying steps as a video educator until today. But all good things must come to an end, and I have decided that it´s time for me to move on.

I love all the great girls in this team, there have been a family spirit among us from day one, and that's something I will remember.

Today I´m sharing with you this project that I did the other day... it´s a pair of ugly duckling shoes. :)
all you need is a Cameo, or any other kind of die cut machine, some book cover vinyl, and some WOW embossing sparkly embossing powder, I used the metallic platinum sparkle.

What I did? Well I turned a well worn comfy shoes in to my party shoes for new years eve...

Hi everyone!
Katarina here with a wonderful ego boost ;)
One of my absolutely best friends have a teenage daughter with lots of talent..  one of her strengths is to make draawings and paintings.. When I started this art journal I wanted to make her something special to encourage her to keep up her beautiful work.
Ive made a video during the process of making this art Journal to inspire you to use the wonderful WOW Embossing powders on your scrappages and altered art.

I really hope that you will enjoy and please let me know if you made your own artjournal decorated with embossing powders... would love to visit and see all the wonderul creations you make :)

If you want to make your entire artjournal from scratch, you can find a really useful bookbinding tutorial here.

Have a wonderful creative day!

Hi WOW! Embossing powder fans, the Powder Puff girls are back to share some lovely projects with you today.

Happy card by DT member Patti Hamil

close up detail:




My project recycles a couple of older supplies. I made a card and used one of the old metal words from Making Memories that was popular a few years ago. I took the Suzy West WOW bubble gum pink and embossed the word. I also took some older scrap paper and embossed the pink edge with the same bubble gum pink powder. Then, I also took a Color Me Crazy white bloom by Petaloo and rubbed the embossing ink pad across the top and sprinkled the bubble gum powder on that too. For the leaves I took green cardstock and used the Call Me stamp and embossed it with the Susy West WOW Earthtone Olive, then handcut the leaves from it. The little blooms were just cut on my ECraft machine.
