WOW! Embossing Powder Creative Guest - Fabulous layout!

Hi Creatives! 

Welcome back for my second official post as a Creative Guest Designer for



WOW Embossing Powder!

Yippeeee & lucky, lucky me!

If you missed my previous Creative Guest post earlier this month, you can check it out on their blog HERE.

For today's project I am focusing on incorporating more Glitter Embossing and Sparkles into your scrapbook layouts.

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout.....

"Fabulous"

Oh how super cute & playful is this?!! 

So much glittery goodness here! 

You'll spy Black Twinkle, & Totally Teal Embossing Glitters, as well as those super sparkly, Celebration Sparkles! 

Here's a closer look at my layout....

Aboslutely darling!

And the best part? Well, it's super fun (& really easy) to recreate! 

Here's how....

Start with stamping the Pinkfresh Studio Heart & Soul Stamp set with the WOW! Embossing Pad, and then coat the images with WOW! Embossing Glitter in Black Twinkle. 

Use your WOW! Embossing Heat Tool to heat and set the Glitter Embossing Powder. 

Use the Heart & Soul coordinating metal die to precisely cut out the embossed image. 

(You will be amazed by the Black Twinkle Embossing Powder - see the close up below!)

Black Twinkle, indeed! Just look at that glittery result! SO incredibly beautiful!

Next, stamp up the owls, birds and butterflies from the Pinkfresh Studio Playful Animal Friends 1 stamp set, with the WOW Embossing Ink Pad. Sprinkle with WOW Embossing Glitter in Totally Teal, and heat set with the WOW Embossing Heat Tool. 

Be still my heart!!! Ga ga gorgeousness! 

This may a new favorite color of mine - so divine!!!

Fussy cut the embossed images to create your own glitter ephemera die cuts. 

Trim white cardstock to 11" x 11" and then use Pinkfresh Studio Liquid Watercolors in Sky Blue to paint a small circle in the center of the layout. Add a few gentle flicks of paint splatter around the circle too! 

You can see the Sky Blue Liquid Watercolor is a beautiful match with the Totally Teal! 

SO pretty!!!

Attach the white cardstock to the Joyful Day 12 inch pattern paper called, Perfect Moment. This creates a soft border trim &looks really effective. Foam mount the Heart & Soul embossed image and tuck a framed photo beneath it. Embellish around the 'circle' with the Totally Teal Playful Friends. Add a Joyful Day ephemera tag and sentiment beneath the circle, and embellish with more of the Totally Teal Friends! 

For finishing touches, and that added WOW'Em factor, apply Celebration Sparkles to the layout....

The perfect glitter finish! 

To hold my Sparkles in place I applied a clear, fast drying glue sparingly around the design and sprinkled the Celebration Sparkles over the top. 

Add the layout title, I chose fabulous from the Joyful Day Puffy Phrase Stickers pack. 

Thankyou for making everything around me beautiful, 

& 

Thank YOU for joining me today!

I really hope I have inspired you to incorporate the beautiful Glitter Embossing Powders into your memory keeping crafts! 

And a super big thankyou to WOW! Embossing Powder for inviting me to be their Creative Guest this month! 

I just adore the products and can't wait to share more inspiration with them! 

'til next time, 

Happy Arty Days,

Hi there, crafty friends!

 I am so super dee duper excited to be this month's creative guest for



WOW Embossing Powder! 

I know, awesome!
For today's post I wanted to showcase how easy it is to incorporate glitter embossing into your scrapbook layouts! 

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout....

"Lovely"

Sigh! So.much.pretty!!!!

Did I mention that Florida Sunset Glitter  is my new FAVE powder?!! 

Like seriously, how amazing is that sparkle?!

LOVEEEEEE!

Let's take a closer look....

Lovely, indeed!

Simple, beautiful & super easy to recreate!

Here's how....

Take your WOW! Embossing Pen & use it to draw (or stencil color ) a butterfly onto clear vellum. 

Sprinkle generously with WOW! Embossing Glitter: Florida Sunset WS95R(O).

Use your WOW! Embossing Heat Tool to heat set the powder. 

Just look at that gold!!!

Repeat process until 5 Florida Sunset butterflies are created. 

Fussy cut each butterfly. 

Ahh-may-zing! Told you that this glitter was something else!!! 

Absolutely MAGICAL!

Paint a watercolor heart onto 12 x 12" white cardstock. 

Once dry, draw in a few more 'heart lines' with the WOW! Embossing Pen. 

This will add  both interest to the layout & really highlight the heart shape. 

Sprinkle & heat set with the fabulous Florida Sunset Glitter Embossing Powder!

Such an effective result!

To complete the layout, embellish the heart with the fussy cut Florida Sunset butterflies, some of your favorite scrapbook supplies (I used Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Happiness collection), photo & title! 

Voila! 

Super simple, but oh so beautiful scrapbooking with WOW! Glitter Embossing Powder!

Here's a couple of pretty close ups for you.....

Such gorgeously rich colors & intense sparkle!

WOW, indeed!!!!

----------------------------------

Now, time for me to share my card inspiration!

I have created 2 cards using very similar products, with 2 very different results!
Here's my first card,

"It's Your Time To Shine"

Wow 'em, indeed!!! What a striking card!

Pinkfresh Studio Supplies - Word Series Clear Stamp: Brilliant, Word Series Metal Die: Brilliant, Itty Bitty Elements Clear Stamp, Itty Bitty Elements Die Set,  Liquid Watercolors: Licorice & Sapphire. 

WOW! Embossing Powder - Ebony & Bright White

To re-create this card, turn a glass upside down onto a white card base. 

Spray water around the exterior of the glass, and add Liquid Watercolor Sapphire around the glass rim. As the Sapphire reacts with the water, and begins to spread, also add Liquid Watercolor Licorice to blend with. 

When the watercolors are almost dry, flick a few water droplets onto the background to create the appearance of faux stars. 

Allow to dry completely before removing the glass. 

Voila! One instant moon, and starry sky card base! 

Next, use the Brilliant stamp and apply white ink stars, as well as embossing with WOW! Embossing Powder in Bright White. 

While this stamp set is out, stamp the sentiment in black ink, as well as emboss the Brilliant title in Ebony Wow! Embossing Powder. Use the coordinating metal die, and cut out the embossed Brilliant title. 

Use permament black ink, to stamp the tiny fox from the Itty Bitty Elements stamp set. Color with Faber-Castell Pitt pens in Sanguine, and use the coordinating metal die to accurately cut the fox out! 

Glue the sentiment into place, & use foam dots to make the Brilliant title, & tiny fox 'pop'! 

Adhere the card base onto a gold glitter cardstock, and then a black card base. 

For finishing touches, add gold sequins! 

Super simple, but oh so stunning! 

My second card is all about the pretty.....

"Brilliant Friend"

Gasp! So soft and beautiful! 

Perfect for a treasured friend! 

Pinkfresh Studio Supplies - Word Series Clear Stamp: Brilliant, 

Word Series Metal Die: Brilliant, Dainty Botanicals Clear Stamp, Sweet & Simple scrapbook collection. 

WOW! Embossing Powder - Misty Sky

To recreate this pretty card, use pink ink to repeat stamp the white card base with a Dainty Botanicals clear stamp. Stamp & emboss (with Misty Sky powder ) the Brilliant title, and use a sky blue ink for the 'friend' stamp. Use the coordinating metal die to perfectly cut out the Brilliant title. 

Attach a few embellishments from the Pinkfresh Studio Simple & Sweet collection, as well as foam mounting the Brilliant title. Glue 'friend' underneath, and add a few Nuvo Drops in Bubblegum Pink for finishing touches!

Another simple, but oh-so-beautiful card!

Two very different cards and looks created using similar products from both Pinkfresh Studio & WOW! Embossing Powders. 

I hope my cards have inspired you to get creating!
