AJVD / WOW! Blog Hop

Good morning! Today, the A Jillian Vance Design DT is hopping with the WOW! Design team! (hop details below).

For my first card, I started by blending Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink on a white panel, fading it out to white in the centre, to create a 'glow'.

When it was completely dry, I used WOW! Embossing ink to stamp the image from the Nativity Bookmark set and then I embossed it with WOW! Brass embossing powder.

To create a bit of a frame, I lightly inked the edges of the panel with the embossing ink and then used the same Brass powder.

For my second card, I found a piece of red vellum in my stash. I stamped the large Merry Christmas from Elegant Christmas on it and then embossed it with Metallic Platinum Sparkle powder. 

On a white cardbase, I stamped the poinsettias from the set with Catherine Pooler Twilight ink. Then I adhered the red vellum panel with liquid glue, which I placed just behind the letters of the embossed sentiment.

Good morning! Today I'm on the A Jillian Vance Design blog with this card and a video!

Ellen Hutson / WOW! Blog Hop

Today I'm part of a blog hop collaboration with Ellen Hutson and Wow! Embossing Powder!

I had a lot of fun going outside of my normal design box to make this card that has a mixed-media feel!

I started by creating an ink smooshed background on watercolour cardstock, then stamping the Gerbera Daisy with waterproof ink.

I used Zig Art & Graphic Twin Tip markers to add richness to the daisy petals and that's when the fun started!

I used my Wow! Embossing Pen to add embossing ink to the petals and then sprinkled Unicorn Magic powder over top and heated it. This powder is transparent with loads of sparkle - just perfect for adding interest without losing the petal details!

Next I used Turkish Nights on the daisy centre. This one is more opaque and also very sparkly.

To add sparkle on the edges of my panel, I rubbed them onto my WOW! Embossing Ink Pad to make them sticky. Then I added Unicorn Magic powder and heated it.

Finally, I used Black Twinkle powder for the sentiment. This powder has a lovely silver sparkle in it!

Muse 285 - Thank You

Here's my card for this week's Muse Card Club, where Anita gave us this inspiration:

I focused on Anita's:
-leaf theme
-stripes
-colours

I stamped a panel with Altenew's Pinstripe background stamp and Wow Embossing ink. Before I embossed, I stamped the panel again with the open leaves from Leaf Canopy. Then I embossed with WOW Silver Pearl embossing powder and blended inks over top in rich fall colours. This gave the open leaves a striped look.

Here's a quick video:

I used:

WOW! Muse 279 - Peace on Earth

-greenery in the background

WOW! Catherine Pooler Blog Hop

Good morning! I'm excited to be part of a Blog Hop with some of the designers from the Catherine Pooler Creative Team and also some designers from WOW! Embossing Powders. We're hopping to show you how well these two product lines work together.

As you can see, I created two cards with stripes. What you maybe can't see is that they both used the exact same 6 WOW! Embossing Powders!

I thought it would be fun to show how different the powders look when you use a different ink as a base. I used the same stripe stamp from Eat, Sleep, Create for both cards. I used the same embossing powders in the same order. But for the Celebrate Everything card, I used Versamark ink. For the Star card, I used black Versafine ink. 

Working top to centre (and then I reversed the order and worked back out to the bottom), I used 

• Wanderlust (exclusive to Catherine Pooler Designs)
• Vintage Romance
• Silver Pearl
• Metalline First Frost
• Mermaid Tails
• Sand Dunes

The Versamark card resulted in colours that were soft, pretty and romantic, so I went with that feeling as I finished the card.

I used the scalloped rectangle from Tags, Etc. to trim the panel, and then I used the stitched rectangle from Postage Stamp dies to create an inner panel, which I popped up. I cut some flowers  from the dies that match Love Grows, and coated them in Versamark before embossing them with Vintage Romance and Mermaid Tails. My sentiment comes from Good Things and was embossed in a seventh variety of embossing powder - Metallic Gold Rich Pale Superfine.

The black ink gave more industrial, metallic results so I kept my card very simple and masculine. Again, I used the stitched rectangle from Postage Stamp dies, but I turned it on my panel a bit so that the stripes would be on an angle.

I simply inlaid the new Star Word die into the panel and called it done.

No blog hop is complete without some prizes. Are you ready for some awesome giveaways?
