New WOW stamps

I designed two of the new WOW! stamps sets and made some samples to send for their retailer training day. I also got some FabFoil that I love so I experimented combining the stamps with foil and it looks so good! On this first card I foiled the Flight of Fancy feathers (or leaves, not sure what they are) and then I foiled a sentiment from Big Words on top. Reheating the foil makes it less shiny but gives it a cool brushed metal look. I added some shadowing using distress ink and details with a white gel pen. I really like how it looks!

For this card I dry embossed the background using an embossing folder. I Stamped and embossed the feathers (or leaves...) on Vellum and airbrushed the backside of them. I added some gold thread and the banner with the sentiment.

For my last card I stamped the feathers (or leaves) first in white pigment ink and then with some Hero Arts ink on top. I foiled a sentiment from Big Words on top, framed it with a die cut and embellished with sequins.

I love that FabFoil <3 The pink is super cute!

I hope you love the stamp as much as I do! I had so much fun playing with them.

Puffy Stickers Challenge

Here are my card for the Puffy Stickers Challenge hosted by Winnie & Walter and Pinkfresh Studios for iNSD. I printed a striped square with my laser printer and added fab foil and diecut it with one of the new Winnie and Walter dies. I had a limited number of puffy stickers in my stash since I really love and use them all. But this High five was perfect as a sentiment. I just attatched it to vellum and used some gold strings behind it and popped it up with foam adhesive. I also used the small hearts from the same diecut set as the scalloped rectangle to cut out a bunch of hearts from glitter paper. It was a hard card to take pictures of but it's really pretty!

Spring flowers for WOW

The theme at the WOW blog this month is spring, you should join us and have a chance to win some WOW goodies. This lovely flower stamp called Tropical was perfect for spring flowers. I am in love with this stamp! I embossed them in copper embossing powder and colored it up using Spectrum Noir AquaMarkers. It looks really good with the warm tone of the embossing and the soft hue of the AquaMarkers. I've just begun playing with the AquaMarkers but we already get along great despite my lack of patience for watercoloring. The set I've got has the loveliest of colors and this soft pink is just so pretty!

I got some FabFoil from WOW to play with. It works with toner ink from laser printers and a laminator but I also got some WOW bonding powder and that's what I used here. I don't have a laser printer (yet...) but this worked almost as good. It turned very shiny and pretty compared to when I tried the foil with Stick-it, but that is probably because the Stick-it is just temporary for the first hour or two and the foil did not stick as well to it as it did to the bonding powder. I can't wait to try it with the toner ink and laminator, I saw samples and they were perfect! Foil is like magic to me, just like embossing was when I first started paper crafting. The name Fab Foil says it all, it's foil and it's fab. Just get some!

If you want to try the Fab Foil you can find it here in tons of different colors.

See you soon again, thank you for stopping by!
