New ‘Templates’ section

In readiness for my next Wow! Embossing Powders project, I’ve added a new section to my blog to hold a library of templates that I have used over the years. The first to appear are a self-closing box and base that I designed to be made from a sheet of A4 in acetate, though it would work well enough in card too. Please have a peek, using the link on the toolbar under the blog title, and let me know if I need to add any assembly instructions!

May Our Love Bloom – for the man in your life

This is another of my Wow! Embossing Powder projects – still following the Valentine’s Day theme. The challenge set was to come up with a card for men – something meaningful without being too frilly or slushy! Full instructions on how to make it are on the Wow! Embossing Powders blog, complete with links to their webstore for any bits ‘n’ bobs you may be missing 🙂

Twelve Tags of 2012 – February

Since I joined the design team for Wow! Embossing Powders, I’ve had the chance to play with all their powders, embossing glitters and stamps. February’s tag reflects this, featuring several of the coloured and glittery embossing powders, with the background stamp being their ‘Brocade’. Instructions for making this tag can be found at the Manic Stamper blog.

Golden Landscape – heat embossed canvas

I’ve had a bit of a play with my Wow! Embossing Powders whilst waiting on my official design projects to get posted… Here’s what I did today:

 As normal, it’s quite tricky to photograph metallic/glossy finishes, but I think you can get the gist. I used a 10x10cm canvas board and layered up Brass, Rich Gold and Ebony powders before adding foliage layers using stamps. A nice prototype to work with 🙂

Wow! Embossing Powder’s blog goes live!

As promised, more info on the Wow! Embossing Powder blog to which I am a contributor as part of the design team. At the moment it’s just an introduction to all of the design team, but I know there are projects galore waiting in the wings 🙂

The UK blog is at http://wowembossingpowder.blogspot.com

The US version (with a different design team) is at http://wowembossingpowders.blogspot.com… notice the difference?

Wow! A new role…

I’m pleased to announce that I have a new role as one of the design and demonstrator team for Wow Embossing Powders Ltd. I’ll be doing a project a week featuring their huge range of reduced static embossing powders and embossing glitters. I’ll be posting projects here with full instructions, but they will published first on their blog once it’s up and running. Watch out for the new posts and, as always, comments more than welcome 🙂
