Decorate Your Home with WOW!

Welcome to WOW! Embossing Powder!

Hey WOW! friends….it’s Michelle here with a new and festive card, featuring of course some traditional holiday colours. When I think of Christmas cards or wreaths for that matter, I automatically go straight for the reds and greens. I decided to go way back to my roots and where I started in stamping and pulled out an older Stampin’ Up! stamp set….I mixed it up with the old and the new today. So follow along and I’ll show you how to decorate your home with WOW!

Decorate Your Home with WOW!

1. Create the background by embossing a brick background die. Make a sandwich with your diecutting machine and replace the hard bottom cutting plates with soft silicone mats. Diecut the embossed background to 4×5.25″. Adhere this to a white A2 cardbase.
2. Die cut the window and window sill from watercolour paper. I used watercolour paper for the embossed background as well, as I find that you get a nicer and deeper impression with the thicker paper. Die cut the window again from light blue cardstock, for the sky outside the window. Adhere the diecut pieces to the embossed brick background.
3. The wreath is a layered stamp. For layer number 1, place the stamp in your Misti or stamp positoner tool. Stamp using your embossing ink pad and add Earthtone Olive embossing powder. Ensure your hheat embossing tool is well pre-heated and melt the powder.
4. For layer 2, ensure your layers are lined up as perfectly as you can get them. Ink up the stamp and add your Primary Evergreen embossing powder. Melt the powder with a really well preheated heat tool.
5. Add the berries by lining up the stamp as above and sprinkle on Primary Burgundy Red embossing powder. Leave the stamp as is and for more depth (and some sparkle too), ink up the stamp again and add Red Glitz embossing powder. Melt the red gltz powder from below so as not to blow around the glitter. Once cooled diecut the wreath using the coordinating dies.
6. Stamp and heat emboss the bow using Primary Apple Red embossing powder. Do this 2x to ensure you get a smooth and glossy bow.
7. Add the wreath and bow to the bow to the front of the window. Add your sentiment over the bottom part of the window using the same light blue cardstock as the sky peeking through the window. Add some matte silver half pearls.

And there you have it! I had fun making this festive wraeth to adorn my window. And so glad I gave new life to an older stamp set, mixîng it with some new and fabulous products and embossing powders too, for that matter! Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope that I have helped to inspire you in some way ( and also to pull out those older products too) and I wish you all the most wonderful and colourful day! Until next time 🙂
