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 🙂
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.
So excited to see my first project on the Wow! Embossing Powder blog! Here’s the card, and after, some more details on how to make your own 🙂
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 🙂
I’ve not posted much ProMarker stuff recently, so thought I’d pop this pic up: it’s using the Art Impressions landscape stamps which I would routinely colour with Marvy water based pens. I thought I’d try it with ProMarkers this time, and was really pleased with the results.
Here’s my November Craft Club project – more distressing and emboss resist work, this time using two colours direct to the card, and a tag thrown in too:
Here’s what we did at Craft Club last Saturday: I’d have posted them sooner, but they weren’t perfected until late the Friday before! Read on to find out where the pitfalls are…
