Hello crafty friends, where has this year gone? I can't believe this will be my last blog post of 2016. So....as the theme for this month's blog challenge is "winter" I just couldn't resist one more Christmas card!

I've combined a die-cut village scene with Marion Emberson's 'Let It Snow' Stamp Set. I embossed the snow scene and the trees with a mixture of  Opaque Bright White, Pastel Glacier Mint and Iced Silver Glitter WOW Embossing Powders.

The stars were embossed with Metallic Silver and the sentiment with British Summer regular powders. I covered a button with Under The Sea Glitter for a final sparkly flourish. 
I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a crafty new year!

Hi WOW's fan. This is Laurence (laury55) today to show you my box to inspire you for the current challenge. Even if you still have time till Christmas, you may already start preparing your Christmas cards and have a box ready for your presents. I love preparing cookies in December and they will fit perfectly in my box. I first added corrugated cardstock covered with gesso. I cut out stars in different sizes, added sewing on the larger one, and covered the smaller ones with Metallic Gold sparkle for a glittering effect. The sentiment from the Let it snow sheet is stamped and heat embossed with Metallic Gold rich. I added some sewing threads before gluing everything on the corrugated cardstock. I hope you will play along our challenge!

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.

Good morning crafty friends, I hope all's well in your crafty worlds! It's that time again where I get to use lots of fabulous WOW! products and create something for the blog challenge. This month the challenge is to use one stamp in three different ways.


I decide to use the Let It Snow stamp and I started by stamping snowflakes for the background in Opaque Bright White powder which I then gently inked. I then created a shaker element and used Teal Fab Foil and bonding powder for the falling snow.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment on vellum with Metallic Silver powder and added snowflakes either side which I stamped then triple embossed with Clear Gloss powder.
The possibilities are endless with this challenge, I hope you all have a lot of fun with it.
Enjoy! Sarah xxx

Hello, dear friends!
Victoria is on the blog today. This month our theme is "One stamp - three ways" and I've chosen to play along with Let It Snow (by Marion Emberson) - Clear Stamp Set. For my card I used snow-flakes from the set in three different ways.

Hello, this is Laurence to show you my favourite technique or more exactly 2 techniques I love using with embossing powder. I created my background with pigmenst diluted with water in a spray bottle. I used the two triangles stamps from the "Let it snow" sheet and heat embossed them with WOW opaque bright white powder.
I worked on a separate sheet of paper and used a knife to apply randomly acrylic paint. When still wet I sprinkled some WOW peppermint tea and heat embossed it.



I cut out some triangles and glued them on my background. It is a very easy technique with random results. The title is heat embossed with WOW metallic brass

Inside I have organized all my embossing powders to see exactly which one to use on my project.

I just love the snowy backdrop in the Let it Snow stamp set. I masked off a rectangle and embossed the snow with Opaque Bright White embossing powder. I used an ink blending tool with a soft blue ink pad to make a gradient from the top. to stamp the sentiment I used Archival ink because it would stick to the embossed snowflakes too, if you use dye ink it will just rub off. 

I had this leaf shaped diecut in my stash but I transformed it into a christmas tree by adding embossing ink on it and dip the edges in White Puff Sparkle and then cover the rest in Verdigris embossing powder. I attached it on my card and that's it. I hope you like my clean and simple winter card. 

I want to take the opportunity to wish you all happy holidays and a really happy new year! I wish you a year filled with crafting and inspiration.
