~ Whimsy Stamps & Wow! Blog Hop ~



Hello Everyone and welcome to the Whimsy Stamps and WOW! Collaborative Blog Hop!  I am so honored to be working with two amazing companies and sharing with you the projects I have made.  Whimsy Stamps has so many wonderful products that work hand in hand with the WOW! product line!

For my first project, I made an elegant card using Whimsy's Flower Puffs Background Stamp and WOW!'s Metalline First Frost Embossing Powder on top of black cardstock.  This embossing powder is absolutely gorgeous and just jumps of the paper!  I also embossed the trim piece at the top of the card, the scalloped trim and the layer behind the sentiment to bring all the elements of the card together.  This is the perfect way to make sure all your elements match especially if you do not have the right color of cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment and the bottom sentiment layer in WOW!'s White Puff Twinkle Embossing Glitter.  This embossing glitter is super fun and not only gives just the right amount of sparkle but texture as well.  To give the card a little bit more texture and add another design element, I embossed the bottom white layer of cardstock with Whimsy's Farmhouse Basket Stencil using my die-cutting/embossing machine.  Adding a strip of rhinestones and some sequins, really brings this card to life!  This card would be perfect for so many different occasions!

For my second project, I used Whimsy's Farmhouse Greenery Stencil, white embossing paste and WOW!'s Under The Sea Embossing Glitter.  I first spread the embossing paste through the stencil onto white cardstock and added the embossing glitter.  Once the embossing paste was dry, I heat set the embossing glitter until it was melted.  You can tell when it is done when it turns from dull to sparkly.  I also used the same embossing glitter to make the glitter background paper, the trim and added it to the sentiment die cut using a Versamark Watermark Ink Pad instead of the embossing paste.  I once again used Whimsy's Farmhouse Basket Stencil to dry emboss the bottom layer of the card for an added design element.  The butterfly is embossed in WOW!'s White Puff Twinkle Embossing Glitter to bring in added sparkle and dimension.  The pearl strip adds an elegance to the card.

For my third project, I wanted to show you what WOW!'s Under The Sea Embossing Glitter looks like using the same Farmhouse Greenery Stencil but this time on top of black embossing paste.  Because this embossing glitter has a translucent quality, you can see the color from underneath come through which allows you to get a variety of different looks from just one embossing glitter.  How cool is that?!  I once again made the background paper using the Under The Sea Embossing Glitter and used it on the bottom sentiment layer.  The top scalloped trim, the middle sentiment layer and the butterflies were embossed with WOW!'s White Puff Twinkle Embossing Glitter.  I added black back into the card by using black cardstock for the trim and sentiment.  The black really warms the card up and ties all the design elements together.  I really love how using the same stencil and embossing powders and just changing the color of the embossing paste makes two totally different looking cards.
