WOW! Embossing and Brennan Keane August 2025 Release Blog Hop

 

I’m so excited to be joining WOW! Embossing Powder to celebrate the release of their brand-new designer collection: Earthly Marvels, created by the incredibly talented Brennan Keane!

This 6-piece embossing powder release is inspired by the beauty of the natural world — from starry skies and ocean blues to floral tones and frost-kissed sparkle. Whether you’re a mixed media maker, a cardmaking colourist, or just love to add texture and shine, the Earthly Marvels collection has something to spark your imagination.

Today, I’m sharing a project using the gorgeous new Dried Lavender from the collection — I hope it inspires you to get creative with these magical new powders!

I love the muted tones of this purple powder (thanks to the grey undertones of it) and the little flecks of silver throughout. It also has beautiful texture to it!

I also made matching heart embellishments to coordinate with the large embossed heart. I love the simplicity of this, as I wanted the powder to speak for itself.

💥 And yes, there’s a giveaway! Keep reading to find out how you can enter to win the entire Earthly Marvels collection!

But first—let’s dive into the inspiration!

I used some white embossing paste and a large leaf stencil.  Once i added my paste I sprinkled on all 4 of the powders in the new Heritage Quad and added a bit of gold.  I then heated it all with my heat embossing tool for some added texture around the edges.  I love how all of these powders blend together so beautifully!  I used a leaf stencil because these colours remind me of the gorgeous colours of Autumn and the changing leaves.  

I also just realized I forgot the second part of my sentiment...oops 😂

WOW! Embossing Powder February 2025 New Release Hop and Giveaway

 

I’m thrilled to be joining WOW! Embossing Powder to celebrate their February 2025 Release—happening on Saturday, 15th February 2025! This is an epic release packed with an exciting range of new products, including the all-new 2025 Collection of Sparkles, the New & Improved Earth Sparkles Collection 2025, our signature Ultra High Collection, and a revolutionary line of NEW HOT Foils. In addition, you’ll find some fabulous singles, Duos, Trios, and Quads created by some of our very best Designers. You can find the entire new collection here.

And guess what? WOW! is giving away THREE amazing prize bundles! Keep reading to find out how you can WIN a selection of our new release products (worth over $70!).

But first, let’s dive into the inspiration!

For this project I used one of the gorgeous new additions to the ultra high collection Primary Indigo for the main part of the flower.  This is a gorgeous rich indigo colour. I cut out the flower and did some ink smooshing with the Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Ink Pad, added the powder and then heat set it.  I repeated this process twice, as I wanted a super glossy almost enamel look to the flower.   But the really cool thing with this powder, is that the longer you hold your heat embossing tool on the powder, you can actually move it a bit and get a lighter almost lilac colour to it...that's the lighter purple colour you see at the top of the cupped flower.  I really liked the way it looked, so I left it peeking out there.   I added another one of the new powders, Ray of Sunshine to the middle of the flower for that bit of sparkle.  I put my flowers together, added them to my background and that was it!   Purple and gold go so well together and these powders are perfection together!  The light and airiness of Ray of Sunshine compliments the richness of the Indio so well.  Such regalness this is giving!  

For my second project I used another addition the ultra high collection, Pastel Spring Glow.  I did some embossing using a 3D embossing folder.  I then ran my ultra slow embossing ink pad over the embossed raised areas and added on my embossing powder.  Before heat setting the powder I took a small paintbrush and just removed and stray bits of powder that got in the areas I didn't want powder.  I heat the teh powder and then added some gold splatters.  I took the same gold paint and ran a paintbrush around the edges of it.  The sentiment was added and that was it.  I love the extra dimension the powder gives the already embossed image!  This powder is such a pretty green and it just screams Spring (well it is int he name after all lol).

WOW! Embossing Powder July 2024 New Release Hop and Giveaway

 

I’m excited to be joining WOW Embossing Powder to celebrate their July 2024 release! It's a BUMPER release, filled with Embossing Sparkles, Fab Foils and even a completely NEW product line; Mixed Media Additives!

The Design Team and special Guests are each sharing inspiration using this gorgeous new release and you’re invited to join the party! 🥳

WOW are generously offering THREE lucky winners the ENTIRE July 2024 release, and you can get all of the details on how to enter further down this post. First, let’s get straight to the inspiration!

For my project today, I used one of the gorgeous new Fab Foils Deepest Darkest Crimson. This is a beautiful colour (it may be my new favourite foil!) and combined with the other 2 new foils, it gives so many ideas.....especially Autumn!

I decided to foil the leaf background from the Fab Foilers Pattern Art (again giving me those Autumn leaves changing vibes) with the foil using my laminator. Once it was foiled I coloured the leaves using green and teal alcohol markers. I tried not to go too heavy over the foiled areas, as not to possibly disturb the foil and remove some of it. For the sentiment I foiled a small piece of the Fab Foilers Solid Panel, just big enough for my sentiment and for the smaller sub sentiment it was from the Fab Foilers Sweet Sentiments.

It was all adhered to my ivory A2 cardbase and the sentiments were adhered using liquid adhesive and foam tape. A black shadow layer was cut for the base of the sentiment as well.

We are so excited about this amazing new mixed media release, that we are hopping over 3 different platforms to give YOU the best chance to win!

WOW! Embossing Powder June 2024 New Release Hop!

 

I’m excited to be joining WOW Embossing Powder & Seth Apter to celebrate their latest release of fabulous Mixed Media Embossing Powders! The Design Team and special Guests are each sharing inspiration using this gorgeous new release and you’re invited to join the party! 🥳

WOW! are generously offering THREE lucky winners the entire June 2024 release, and you can get all of the details on how to enter further down this post. First, let’s get straight to the inspiration!

WOW! has come out with 2 new gorgeous mixed media Quads - Building Blocks and Citrus. For my project I used the Citrus. These powders are full of gorgeous, fun and bright colour and texture! Although they are additions to the range of mixed media powders, I thought how amazing these colours would be in a CAS way. I wanted these powders to shine and take all the spotlight!

Create the background by diecutting a piece of smooth white cardstock using a patterned cover die, as this would add interest to the background without deterring away from the focal point....the powders. Next take 4 pieces of cardstock cut approximately 3/4" high (or as high as you need to fit your diecut) and as long as you'd need to fit your sentiment diecut...in my case they were cut to 4" long. Go direct to the cardstock strips with your embossing inkpad or vice versa (press your paper strips to your inkpad) and ensure you get a full coverage of ink on the paper. Sprinkle each embossing powder on 1 piece of cardstock each (you will have 4 different colours in the end) and heat emboss from underneath.

Adhere each embossed strip to a piece of thin copy paper, using double sided adhesive, starting with Rusty, Tomato,, Kiwi Gold and finishing with Olive. Diecut the shadow layer of the sentiment from these embossed strips and then the more intricate top layer of the sentiment from the same smooth white cardstock as used for the background.

Heat emboss in Opaque Bright White embossing powder the smaller sentiment on a piece of green cardstock that coordinates with the Olive embossing powder and then diecut the small square speech bubble. Adhere the 2 sentiments on the background using liquid adhesive for the large piece and foam adhesive for the smaller one. Add to an A2 cardbase.

For the embellishments diecut a small heart from the leftover Olive heat embossed cardstock strip. And did you know that you can actually make matching embellishments too...as in pearls??? I took 3 white flat back pearls in various sizes and adhered them to a piece of masking tape. Take the tape with the pearls and go direct to the embossing ink pad and do some ink smooshing (exactly the same technique as you do for the cardstock) and ensure that the pearls are fully covered with the ink. Leaving your pearls on the masking tape, sprinkle on the Rusty powder and make sure that they are completely covered. Again, leaving the pearls on the tape, heat set the powders using your heat embossing tool, heating from above but using the lower of the 2 speeds on the WOW! Heat Embossing Tool. Using the lower of the 2 speeds will help to cut back on any stray bits of powder that may fly away, since we are heating from above and this is a textured powder. Once heat set, remove the pearls and adhere to your background along wiht the small diecut heart.
