Hi everyone! It’s Lisa here with you today and welcome to day ONE of our blog hop with WOW! Embossing Powders. This is such a fun day for me as I’ve been a fan of WOW!’s for quite some time. Getting to play with all of their powders, gorgeous stamps and some foils (that I already had)…what could be better? You’re in for a real treat this week.

I had so much fun with this project. I cut pieces of straw to make little bitty “scoops” so I could easily add the different colors of embossing powder exactly where I wanted it to my inked image (inked with embossing ink on cardstock weight vellum). Super easy!

Once all the powder was where I wanted it I just tapped off the excess. Just like doing any other embossing. This way allows you to be a little more precise with color distribution. Then you heat set it, just like normal.

I cut off a small section of our 4″ x 6″ Adhesive Sheets and pressed that into random areas. This adhesive is STRONG! But by doing this it allowed me to use the WOW! Fab Foils. I pressed the Foils (shiny side up) right over the adhesive and it gives this beautiful, almost painted look. Very random and artistic.

I also used the embossing powder on my resin butterfly. I just pressed it into the embossing ink and sprinkled my powders over the butterfly and heat set. So pretty!

I used the Dodz™ in small to adhere the vellum to the piece of patterned paper. The Dodz™ are easy to hide when you have all that lovely embossing on the front. 😉 Once these two were adhered together I then used my E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable to adhere it to another panel. THEN, that was all adhered using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular to give the front vellum piece some added dimension. I used Dodz™ in Medium to attach the butterfly. And wrapped a piece of twine, tied in a bow, and secured in with another Dodz™ in small.

Not hard at all. I hope you all enjoyed my card today and that it gave you some inspiration and maybe got you inspired to try a few new things!

Wreath of Hope with Pink Photo Corners

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth today, and I have a simple card using our Pink Creative Photo Corners as a wreath.

I used the Limited Edition Pink Creative Photo Corners to create a wreath. It was pretty easy (the second time, LOL)! I save the backing sheets from photo corners and 3D Foam, they’re a bit see-thought too. I drew a circle onto a sheet of paper then placed a used backing sheet on top of it. I overlapped the Pink Creative Photo Corners around the circle, without pressing down too much. That way I was able to make minor adjustments.

Once completed and happy, I moved the wreath to a piece of white cardstock. I added more Pink Creative Photo Corners to the corners, then added 3D Foam Squares to the back side, overlapping the back of the pink corners. I added the white piece to a black card base.

On the 3D Foam Heart and 3D Foam Wings I used Zoom Creative Products glitter sheets, no mess glitter! I positioned them onto the wreath.

For the word Hope, I simple hand wrote it, and then cut it out and adhered it with 3D Foam Squares.

For each purchase of Pink Creative Photo Corners we donate to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, for more information see the Pink October blog post.

Thanks for visiting!

Supplies Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®: Pink Creative Photo Corners, 3D Foam Wings, 3D Foam Hearts, 3D Foam Squares White Regular

Happy Dreams Do Come True

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone – Asia King here. I’m back today with an inspirational card in celebration of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns are usually associated with a pink colour. As I wanted my card to include an element of hope, I added splashes of green colour as well.

Happy Dreams Come True_Asia King1

I really enjoyed making this card, especially my glitter tiled background.

I started by pulling out a large scrap of white card and a cute decorative white panel that was pre-embossed and had a round aperture.

I began sticking rows of Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White to create an area slightly bigger than the panel. I used the panel as a guide to see which areas would be showing through the apertures as they needed to be fully covered with the foam squares.

Next I covered the squares in glitter, alternating the colours to create a pattern. When I finished, I trimmed the excess card around the squares background leaving a small border.

Happy Dreams Come True_Asia King4

To mount the decorative panel onto the background I used Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White and 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular. Before you do that, you might like to swipe the front of the panel with some chalk/matt paint and add the Photo Corners – Classic Style, Pink (available during October at your local retailer).

To adhere the background to a green card blank I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable.

Happy Dreams Come True_Asia King2

Next I rummaged through my stash again and pulled out various (long forgotten) elements, a selection of flowers and florist’s fibers. To create the sentiment panel I inked the Dreams stamp with PITT pens and stamped onto an oval die cut element. The die cut was slightly glossy, so to avoid smudging the ink I heat embossed it with a clear embossing powder.

Happy Dreams Come True_Asia King3

To adhere all my florals and fibers I used DODZ™ – Small; DODZ™ – Medium; DODZ™ – 3D. To finish the card I added some half pearls and Liquid Pearls.

Supplies:

Photo Corners – Classic Style, Pink; Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White; 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular; E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable; DODZ™ – Small; DODZ™ – Medium; DODZ™ – 3D.

Other supplies:

Neat and Tangled – Dreams stamp; Stampendous: Crystal Micro Glitter, Melon Ultra Fine Pearl Glitter, Pastel Pink Ultra Fine Glitter, Clear Detail Embossing Powder

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics and Core’dinations David Tutera (Die Cut Circle).

Faber-Castell PITT pens (May Green & Pink Madder Lake); Liquid Pearls (White Opal & Petal Pink); Basic Grey Half Pearls

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. Happy dreaming everyone!

Hello Everyone! It’s Kelly Klapstein here today sharing a card I designed in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Happy Crafting!

Love and Support the Girls

Posted on October 10, 2014 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here! As you know, October is breast cancer awareness month, so I created a card honoring a friend of mine who is currently fighting this disease. I wanted to send her a card of encouragement. She has a tough spirit and I know she will get through this with the support of her family and friends. But even tough girls need reminders. 😉

My card uses a stamp set from Crafty Secrets. It was colored with Copic Markers. The Pink Creative Photo Corners from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® were perfect for this card! I used a Spellbinders die for the image and background matte. The embossing folder was also by Spellbinders.
