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.

Ride the Waves - Visible Image

 

Hi friends!  I'm back today to share a card made using one of the new Summer releases from Visible Image.  I used the Ride the Waves Stamp Set and decided to make kind of a calming scene, using some of the images.  I thought that all it needed was just a simple background to showcase them.

Resilience - Visible Image

 

Hi friends....I'm back to share a card featuring a very cool moth that is giving me all the Silence of the Lambs vibes!  This card involves some stamping, stencilling and heat embossing.  I went back and forth about whether it was maybe a bit one-dimensional, but in the end decided it perfect as is!

I am grateful for everyday - Visible Image

 

Hello crafty friends!  Today I am back to share a card using one of the latest new releases from Visible Image. I used one of the fun new stencils called Seeing Stars Stencil.  This is a double sided stencil, meaning that it has 2 different designs on it.  The other design that this stencil has is a small check pattern.  It is really fun to use and really versatile too! 

Ombré Watercoour Nativity Cards - Maker Forte

 

Hey crafty friends! Today i have 2 cards to share with you, using the Nativity Peace, Hope, Love Stamp Set from Maker Forte. I knew as soon as I saw this beautiful stamp set that the images/sentiments needed nothing more than a beautiful ombré watercolour wash as the background and nothing more...okay well a bit of heat embossing too. I have a video to share with you as well showing how these cards were made. Let's get started, shall we!

Heat Embossing with Kaleidoscope Powders - Maker Forte

 

Hello crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a technique using those gorgeous Kaleidoscope powders from Maker Forte. I bet you never thought of embossing with them? Well I did a bit of playing around this week and discovered that yes, you sure can do it! Keep reading to find out how!

Autumn You Know - Maker Forte and Pigment Powders

 

Hey crafty friends!  I'm back sharing a very colourful Autumn card.  I was inspired by the beautiful colours of the changing leaves back home in Canada in the Fall.  They truly are a gorgeous thing to see if you haven't ever....that's one of the things I miss about back home, so I thought that I would try to recreate them or try my very best to.  When I saw the new Falling for You stamp set designed by Jess Francisco, which is part of the Falling Into Fall New Release over at Maker Fort, I knew it would be perfect!

Beautiful Details - AECP

Hi friends...welcome back!  Where has the time gone since my last AECP project and class???  Time to get back at it!  This class was taught by the extremely talented Marika Rahtu and as you can tell from the title is is all about the beautiful details that will elevate your cardmaking!  As they say...it's all in the details and in this case it is all in the beautiful details.  

Love You - Maker Forte

 

Hey crafty friends!  I've got a card filled with happy rainbow colours today and lots of sparkle...black sparkle!  For my card I used one of the new release stamp sets as well as a fun stencil from Maker Forte and both designed by Alex Syberia.  It is a bit different than her usual gorgeous flowers, but it is filled with lots of fabulous big and bold sentiments.

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful - Maker Forte

 

Hi crafty friends...I'm sharing a floral slimline card with you today.  I'm a sucker for a beautiful floral and this one doesn't disappoint!  This is a gorgeous large floral made to fit a slimline card perfectly. When it comes to cards, I usually just stay in my comfort zone of the usual A2 size, I don't make alot of slimline cards.  I have 2 mediocre excuses reasons why....#1, I find them harder to photograph and #2, they use up too much of my precious paper lol.. But I had no excuse not to make one when I received this set!

Polychromatic - AECP

Hello friends...today I have card to share with you for the Polychromatic class for my level 2 AECP certification.  This class was taught by the very talented Nina-Marie Trapani and is filled with so many tips, techniques and lots of beautiful inspiration for adding colour to your cards.  For my project I decided to focus on the lesson on watercolouring with similar colours or rather in my case....the same colour.  

When Music is Life - The Hedgehog Hollow

 

 Hello crafty friends....today I am sharing 2 cards plus a video using this months subscription box from The Hedgehog Hollow.   I used both of the stencils and did a bit of ink blending to bring them to life. I wanted them to have more of a classic look. Throw in a bit of heat embossing and they are quick and simple.
