Wednesday Wowzer

It has been a whirlwind of a week for me and things have calmed slightly enough for me to create for today’s post.

Today I am using one of my favorite {ippity} sets called:

Flowers + Friends = Priceless

I made this card to go along with the challenge over on the

Get Hippity with Ippity site

Challenge 21 called Flower & Leaf.

I call this card a 4 square card.

By no means did I make the card up, but the directions I had from a well published book were so lousy,

I had yo recreate the card by sheer luck.

It gathers and closes and opens like a box lid.  Here is what it looks like on the inside opened up.

You can put what ever kind of sentiment or note you want to on the inside.

On the front you have 4 mini panels to decorate.

You can use it as a large panel or break it down into 4 small ones like I have.

What do you think?

Isn’t this a cute card and pattern?  And those flower stamps??  Get OUT!!  They are the best!!

Gotta love {ippity}!

I also want to point out the delectable goodies from these other companies I am using with this project.

All embossing powders are by Wow Embossing Powders.  Love the glitter ones especially!!

All paper is from Momenta. Kaleidascope

Square die and floral embossing plate by Cheery Lynn Designs.

2 for 1 card with Cheery Lynn Designs

Today I am sharing 2 cards I made, just for this post.

On one of the cards I have used a new stamp I just got from {ippity} stamps, so I decided to use a sketch on an {ippity} challenge blog.  Here is the sketch.

Here is my first card.

It is a pretty simple sketch.  Since I am using some very bright and colorful MOMENTA papers, I kept my embellishments to a minimum.

I used the ZIG ZAG RIC RAC, Scalloped Circle and Circle dies.

Let me know how you like my flower.  If I get enough responses..maybe I can do a tutorial on how I made it!  Leave a response in the comments if you’d like me to do a tutorial.

 Here is the card I made with my itty bitty Unity stamp set called Adventurous.

I used the same sketch.  The dies I used are as follows:

Black Eyes Susans Embossing plate, Ribbon Eyelet Border, Pretty Petal, Circle dies and the center of the Celtic Fire Rectangle.

Here is a picture of them both together.

All my papers are from Momenta and all my embossing powders are by WOW EMBOSSING powders.

I am so thankful I have so many fun products to work with.  I hope you enjoyed how I combined different products today and that you also enjoyed the cards I have shared today.

Be sure to say YAY or NAY to the idea of a tutorial on the flower in my first card on this post.

Wow Embossing TEAM POST – The GLITTER GIRLS!!

With my fun job over at WOW EMBOSSING POWDERS…we all have teams that we are on.

My team is called THE GLITTER GIRLS and today is out team post to WOW you.

For this layout, I used stamps from the two sets called, Is it a bird? and Call Me.

 I also used three different powders: Earthtone Olive, Earthtone Blueberry and Primary Bark.

These colors matched perfectly with Authentique Papers I used.  Since I took these pictures right before I headed up to the Authentique Paper offices, it is kind of nostalgic that I used their papers.

 I used the large stamp from CALL ME to add to the overall background of my base papers and for the papers I mounted my pictures with.

 For my journaling card I used one of the trees from the IS IT A BIRD? set.

 Also for the journaling card I used my embossing pad to adhere the embossing powder to the edge.

I hope you liked this layout!  I was so shocked at the shear innocence and beauty I caught in this picture of my daughter with the eleven-foot marble Christus statue.

The original was sculpted by the Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen.  You can read more about the statues history here.

I do have to share another of the pictures I took that day.  I could have used this one also, but the layout would have had a completely different feel.

Here is the picture I am talking about.

What do you think here thoughts are in the above picture??

Anyhow, I love the picture above just as much, again is shows the pure magic and innocence of a child.

Now, I would love for you to head on over to the WOW EMBOSSING POWDER BLOG and see what the other glitter girls have made.

They are all so talented, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Have a great weekend all you lovely people:)

Ta ta for now!

“All DOLLED UP!” with Cheery Lynn Dies and WOW Embossing Powders

Today I am using my Cheery Lynn Dies along with some fabulous stamps and embossing powders from Wow Embossing Powders by the lovely Suzy West.

I cam across this adorable bookmark on Etsy:

I always look at things and think..ooh, I could do that even though I do not have the exact supplies the original was made out of.  With all my Cheery Lynn Designs dies, I knew I would be able to make my own version of this Japanese Kokeshi doll.  I also knew I wanted to use all of my WOW EMBOSSING GLITTERS and WOW STAMPS to accentuate the patterned papers I was going to use for the doll.

Here is my version…

My doll is much bigger than the bookmark and I have turned it into a plaque rather than a bookmark.

For the doll and clothing I used Scalloped Circle Stackers and Scalloped Oval Stackers.

I enhanced the dies and patterned paper with the Wow Embossing Powders and Stamps. You can see the sparly patterns on the dress and the background and I used one of the WOW STAMPS from the “CALL ME” for the doll’s hair.

The flower and lace embellishments are made with the dies called:  Queen Anne’s Lace, Buttons1 and the Medium & Miniature Roses.

The final touch was applying the sweet sentiment attached to an individual Pennant.

I just love how this cute little doll turned out and I hope you do also.

What do creative minds do on rainy days??

As my title asks, what do creative minds do on rainy days?

Do we cook? NO!!

Do we clean house? NO!

Do we catch up on laundry?  HECK NO!

We …..  CREATE!

It is a rainy, I am so happy to say that, we need it so badly.

Today I am going to show you a card I have made for JW Illustrations.

“Scents” able Card Making!!

I have a FUN idea to pass along to you today!

My next 2 days of cards are dedicated and made with a special friend in mind!  Dearest Michelle, I hope I make you smile!

Did you catch the clue in my title?  SCENTS able?

I am going to show you how to make a yummy smelling card!

Start with some basic supplies.  Here I have my embossing pad, my Cherry Stamp from the NEW SEASON, NEW WONDER set and some Kool-aid mix and my brand new CABLE CAR RED embossing powder from WOW EMBOSSING POWDERS.

First, mix a little of the Kool-aid powder with the embossing powder.  After you mix the 2 real good, you use the scented powder just like any other embossing powder.  You can smell it while you heat it up and the scent stays after it has embossed and dried!

I have a lot of these little empty plastic jars, so I saved the excess to use later.

I have used lots of Sassafrass fun papers and embellishments to go along with this card.

The large cherry stamp, the background on the navy blue strip and the word SWEET are all done in the scented powder.  It smells so fruity!  YUMMY!!

Here is the side view, now isn’t this a cheerful card??

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have enjoyed this little tutorial!  If you use my idea, I’d love for you to link back to this post!

That is my WOW for today!  Have a great Wednesday!  See you next week!

Wowed by WOW EMBOSSING POWDERS

Hello blogging world, today I am sharing my first project here for the fantastically yummy embossing powders by WOW.

I created a fairly simple layout so that the colors of the powders would really stand out.

I started with a picture that I manipulated in PSE.  I wanted the picture and my title to be the background paper.  Here is what I started with.

Yep, that’s me..goofy I know but it is what I wanted!!

I had the image of what I wanted to do in my head, and here is what I dreamed up!

When I look at this layout, I am just giddy.

I used the Wow Beautiful Clear Stamp set called GRATITUDE.

All the embossing powders I used are from the CANDY COUNTER COLLECTION–Berrylicious, Whirly Pop, Sour Lemon, Gummy Bear Green, Bubble Gum & Cotton Candy.

This is for a book I have decided to do about me.

We all have things that are unique, things that make us who we are.

I am a Sunday School teacher for teenagers and this past Sunday I was talking about the importance of journaling.  I had this MOMENT while planning my lesson that I wanted to do a book about the nuances that make me who I am.  I told my class about this and told them that journaling can be really fun.

I told them it was my promise I would start myself and that I would create something and bring it to church the following Sunday.

Now that I have my first page I can’t wait to do others.

The WOW embossing powders will come in very handy during this process!

Sorry, for my ramble…I just thought I’d let you know what my page was all about!

Thanks for the visit and I hope you get a chance to play around with these fun powders!
