Hi all – my journey into 2012 in tags continues, with March and April ready to be taught at the Manic Stamper Craft Club on 17th March. I note that a certain Mr Tim Holtz has copied me copying him and is doing his own monthly tags too 😉 – check them out here. But before you do – here’s mine! Full instructions for March and April are posted over at The Manic Stamper blog.
Here’s what I did with my Easter Basket Template and some WOW! Embossing Powders. The full tutorial was published this morning over at the WOW! Embossing Powders blog 🙂
Hi all – I’ve been busy creating… and so pleased with the result, I’m going to share it with you even before the glue has finished drying! Here’s the piece:
Recycling is all the rage these days – apparently making something you’re about to throw away into something useful and beautiful is now known as upcycling. Here’s how to upcycle a glossy magazine page into a pretty greetings card using Brasso, embossing powder and a bit of elbow grease.
I’ve been busy melting powders today… the last of my ATCs for this weekend’s swap with the Wow! Embossing Powder Design Team are complete! As normal, the photo doesn’t quite do them justice 🙁
And the last of my creations to be made in time for the trade show at the NEC is this lovely gift box – it’s just 5 cm square at the base and made from a sheet of A4 coloured card. The stamps are all from Wow! Embossing Powder, as is the fabulous no-messing-about-with-antistatic-bags white embossing powder.
I’ve been busy quilting for the last few Thursday mornings, and all weekend – I’ll be showing the quilts off in due course once they are finished. I also spent several hours this week doing 3 metres of bunting for the WOW! Embossing Powder stand at the NEC trade show this weekend:
We’re also doing a Design Team ATC swap at the show, and have been encouraged to share our favourite embossing powder techniques… here are two of mine:
Hi all, just thought I’d give you the heads up – Wow! Embossing Powder are giving away 12 powders of the winner’s choice and a handy carry case in their February Challenge. Click on the pic for more details 🙂
I’ve posted another project over at Wow! Embossing Powder blog as part of their design team. This time I have designed a bouquet in a perfectly formed custom gift box, making use of the February fluorescent theme colours. Pop over for the instructions.
Templates and instructions for the box can be found on my new Templates page – look in the toolbar above, or click here.
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!
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 🙂
