Christmas Plaid with Gemma

Today I have two Christmas cards to share, using some beautiful embossing powders and glitters from WOW.

I love cards where the sentiment takes centre stage. I have a fun sentiment set from Hello Bluebird called 'Tis the Season', so decided to create some embossed backgrounds for the sentiments to go on.

I stamped the C&9th Plaid background stamp onto white card with the WOW embossing ink. I then embossed it with Metallic Gold Rich Super Fine embossing powder, using the fabulous new dual heat embossing tool.

To add the plaid lines, I used a beautiful embossing glitter called Vintage Candy Cane, perfect for Christmas projects.

I created a second panel, using Metallic Silver embossing powder and Pacific Wave embossing glitter.
I trimmed the panels down to be 2.5 inches high, added a thin black card strip at the top, then adhered them each to the bottom of a white card base. You should be able to get two cards from each embossed panel.

I stamped the large sentiment at the top …

My favourite things

Hello all, Nataliya is here!
I have long wondered what I love the most. But have not decided :)
So I'll tell you about a few of my favourite things:
- embossing glitter
- metallic powder
- making background
And, of course, I love butterflies :)


In this card I used a lot of WOW! EP :)
First of all, Red Metalline for the base and chipboard frame;
Vanilla White for an inscription;
Vintage Romance & Melt-It! Powder for dots;
Vintage Candy Cane to create a background;and Collage stamp for the tag.


And some tips for you, about how I made this background :)
Step1 - blots


Step2 - masking


Step3 - sprinkle the powder




Step4 - stamping


Step5 - more blots with another color


Have a good day with your favorite things :)
