Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to a special blog hop collaboration with Wow! Embossing and Catherine Pooler Designs. It is a joy to come together and create and share with others. We hope you enjoy this blog hop filled with inspiration.
I have two cards to share with you today.
A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way
For my first card I could not wait to try out the copper and purple embossing powders. I created a fun, heat embossed design with the Catherine Pooler Designs Say it in Diamonds stamp set. Wow do those colors pop on the dark cardstock. The embossed panel was cut down to 4 x 5-1/4 inches and adhered with foam tape to an A2 (4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches) top folding card base, which is a lighter shade of grey.
I used the following Wow! Embossing Powders: Copper Pearl Regular, Metalline Perfect Plum Regular and Lilac Shimmer.
You’re a Star
For my second card I used the Catherine Pooler Designs Starlights stamp set and coordinating dies. The stars are die-cut and heat embossed using Wow! Embossing Powders: In the Pink, Oceanic and Metallic Gold Rich Pale Super Fine. The gold star has 5 layers of embossing power, the blue star has 4 layers of embossing powder and the sparkly pink star has 3 layers of embossing powder. The sentiment is stamped in black jack ink on a 4 x 5-1/4 inches, white panel of cardstock. The panel is adhered with foam tape to an A2 (4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches) midnight card base. Finally, I adhered the three embossed stars with foam tape. Wow, I love how the stars shine!
I hope you enjoyed my cards.
