My name is Martina. I am living in Switzerland and am really passionate about Papers, Colours and Coffee, of course!  I love to get up early in the mornings (and on rainy Sundays…) to dig into craftiness before going to work. Creativity in all its facets has always played an important role in my family and life: it is my passion and feels like a part of my DNA  I love exploring and pushing boundaries in my crafting - wether it is cardmaking, mixed media or papercrafts general.  Usually I don’t stick to a specific style or technique for very long – I enjoy the flow of the creative process and filling my treasure trove with new experiences 
I’m beyond excited to be a guest designer for WOW! this month! ****************** Today, I have two cards for you which combine two of my favourite techniques when it comes to papercrafting.
Heat embossing and getting a bit messy :)

I started with getting some color onto water color paper and move it around by adding some water with a brush. I have …

Have you wondered which embossing powders and glitters work well for Christmas cards?  Well, today I'm sharing with you my three favourite embossing powders to use on Christmas themed cards.  Disclaimer: these are my opinion, not definitive :)


I have three cards to share, one for each of my favourites, and I have created a video showing you the process. You can find it here and over on the WOW! YouTube Channel!



My first powder is an embossing glitter - WOW! Rockin' Red inspired by Catherine Pooler.   It is a gorgeous red with flecks of green holograhic glitter in it.  It looks amazing on kraft cardstock so that's exactly what I've done with my first card.


I took an A2 panel of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and used my MISTI to stamp the pattern from the Hero Arts Nordic Holiday Bold Prints Background with WOW! Embossing ink.  I like to use a MISTI to stamp the pattern a couple of times to get a good impression.  I also recommend when using embossing glitter to make sur…

Hi Everyone!

It's Jenny from the Creative Team here and today I'm joining you to share two card projects which use layering dies and layering stamps with embossing powder to create gorgeous shine and dimension.

You can check out the creative process over on the WOW! YouTube channel or here:


I love layering stamps - but I'd never tried them with embossing powder except as a highlight layer.  The new WOW! trios really excited me and I got the idea for these cards because some of the hard work is taken out of working out which colours to go for with the trios.  They're perfect complementary colors that go great together (either tones or combos) and super for this technique.


For my first card I used the Aquatini Trio which includes Curacao and Splash embossing powders and a glitter.  I only used the embossing powders for my first card, and I supplemented them with Cloud 9 for the middle layers, Seaglass for the lightest layer, and Sparkling Snow for the centre.   I heat e…
