Using a hello stamp from Honey Bee Stamps,  ink up the top half of stamp in Mint to be by Catherine Pooler, stamping this onto white card stock. Repeat this 1-2 times, and use a paper towel to soften the inked edges before stamping. Clean the stamp and then ink up …

Layering stamp sets are a great way to add a touch of embossing to your images. I used four metallic embossing powders from WOW to add the detail layer to the flowers and leaves on my card today.

I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Hello Bluebird Wildflower Bouquet set using distress oxide inks. This floral set has three layers for the flowers. For the final layer, I used WOW Super Fine Metallic embossing powders in gold, copper and platinum.


I especially love the detail of the Metallic Silver Super Fine embossing powder on the leaves. 
To turn this into a card, I layered the florals onto a card base over a gallery frame from Hello Bluebird. I also added some of the Hello Bluebird Silly Birds and a sentiment from the same set.

The metallic embossing looks so pretty as it catches the light, and gives the stamped images some great texture and interest. 

Have a lovely day, Gemma

Hi All, Jo here and welcome to today's blog post.
This month the Design Team have had the pleasure on working on projects to collab with the Pink & Main products now available in the WOW store.







The cards I have made is simple yet striking as the embossing powders I have used both metallic and glitter mix speak for themselves. 
I'm hoping that you can see in these cards the effectiveness yet simplicity of this simple card layout doesn't need to be over complicated at all.
The background stampset I have used is the WOW's "POP" background.
For the sentiment I have used the versatile "Congrats" stamp and coordinating die from Pink & Main.  This fabulous stampset and die can also be layered as it has the detailed script of the word as well as the out layer of the sentiment.
I have created a video show casing these embossing powders and stamps. 




Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed today's card creations.
Hugs Jo

Hello, crafty friends!
It is time to start Christmas preparation, so I've created a gift box for our monthly challenge. At first I made a simple box out of watercolour paper, size 10*15 cm, 5 cm tall. Then I cut pieces of paper the size of the sides and the lid, stamped with Wow Clear Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad the confetti from Clear Stamp Set Let It Snow (by Marion Emberson) and embossed with WC06 Metallic Platinum embossing powder. I glued them to the box and sprayed with red spray here and there.
Also with this powder I decorated chipboard stars and the frame. To create some embellishments I stamped snowflakes and star from the same stamp set with red pigment ink and covered with WA01 Clear Gloss SF and then fussy cut them. The chipboard sentiment is embossed with two layers of WL01 Bright White powder for enamel look.

Hi! Nicole here and I am back with a brand new tutorial share - creating 2 cards from a 1 cardstock piece. This month theme is "garden" - when I think of flowers, I usually think of weddings. And weddings means lots of shimmer. So even though my inspiration started from our monthly theme, my results were totally different. :)

I wanted to show off an awesome embossed background layer and decided to maximize my paper and create 2 cards. This is super easy, anyone can do it! Check out the video tutorial below to see how these cards come to life.




First card I am sharing is perfect for wedding, anniversary, golden/silver birthdays, or any occasions that call for elegant looks. Simply changed the sentiment that goes in the circle part of the card and you are good to go! I wanted a subtle, shimmer background for my cards today, so I chose one of my favorite WOW embossing powers - Metallic Platinum. It has a nice combination of gold and silver and I thought it would go really well …

Hello there, Maya here with two garden inspired cards. I love gardens full of flowers in all colors. I don't like taking care of my own garden, I've learned the hard way to keep it simple. It's a bit like that with my cards too. I love seeing all these cards full of pretty flowers but I can't make them myself. I had a lot of trouble coming up with some inspiration for the garden themed challenge this month until i remembered to simplify. Well, the technique is a bit time consuming depending on how intricate the design is. One was quicker than the other, but it is so much fun and the effect is great!


Here's how to do it. I used my Cameo to cut out two flower designs out of white cardstock. Save all the pieces, even the tiny ones. For this card (the quicker one) I embossed the outlines with Ebony black embossing powder. I started with attaching the big square piece from around the flowers onto a kraft colored card base. I then glued down the embossed piece like a puz…
