Welcome to WOW! Embossing PowdER
As the nights draw in and the air fills with that familiar autumn chill, the skies come alive with bursts of colour, glitter, and light — it can only mean one thing: Bonfire Night!
Celebrated here in the UK every 5th of November, Bonfire Night (also known as Guy Fawkes Night) marks the evening we gather to watch dazzling fireworks, light cosy bonfires, and ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ at every sparkle that fills the sky.
This week, we’re bringing that same explosive creativity to your craft desk with the WOW! Bonfire Night Collection — a shimmering mix of Sparkles, Embossing Sparkles, and Foils designed to recreate those firework effects we all love. From glimmering golds and radiant reds to deep midnight hues and electric pops of colour, these products will help you light up your projects in true WOW! style.
So grab your favourites and enjoy 15% off the Bonfire Night Collection with code WOWFWORKS15, from 5–10 November — because your crafts deserve to shine as bright as the night sky!
For the full list of products included in this promotion, please see the Halloween Category on either of our UK or USA Direct sites. You can also see a visual table of products further down this post!
✨ Technique Inspiration for Firework Finishes
The WOW! Bonfire Night Collection is packed with all things shiny, glittery, and gleaming — perfect for recreating the magic of fireworks in your papercraft projects.
Whether you’re working with Embossing Powders, Sparkles, or Foils, there are so many ways to capture those bursts of colour and trails of shimmer. Here are a few techniques from our Design Team to help you create cards and projects that truly make it WOW!
✨ 1. Foiling Stamped Images with Bonding Powder
Recreate the magic of fireworks with shimmering foiled details! Verity shows how to use Bonding Powder with your favourite stamps to add foiled fireworks that sparkle and shine — perfect for capturing that glittering sky effect.
💥 2. Mixing Metallics for Dynamic Firework Effects
Layering metallic Embossing Powders adds beautiful depth and motion — just like a real firework display! Gemma’s metallic mix gives her projects a bold, celebratory feel that truly pops
🌟 3. Sparkly Star Stencils
Turn your favourite stencils into starry skies with this dazzling technique. Add WOW! Sparkles for instant twinkle and dimension — an easy way to create fireworks, stars, or festive bokeh backgrounds.
🌌 4. Mixed Media Additive Night Sky
Create a richly textured night sky using Mixed Media Additives sprinkled over wet paint for a mesmerising, layered look. The result? A glowing, dimensional finish that feels alive with motion — just like the sky on Bonfire Night!
🌈 5. Aurora Borealis Die Cut Stars
Bring a little Northern Lights magic to your crafting! This technique combines bright, shifting colours and embossed shine for ethereal die-cut stars that glow like fireworks.
💫 6. Splattered Sky & Marbled Embossing
This splattered embossing technique creates a painterly sky full of energy and colour — just right for celebrating Bonfire Night in card form!
🔥 7. ‘Pouncing’ for a Perfect Mottled Finish
Learn how to ‘pounce’ embossing powder to create the perfect mottled or marbled look. It’s a great way to build texture, depth, and that smoky firework haze.
🌈 8. A WOW! Rainbow of Colour
We do colour like no one else! This tutorial is all about making your bright powders pop — layer and blend for vibrant, firework-inspired colour bursts that make your projects truly sing.
🌑 9. Heat Embossing on Dark Cardstock
Dark backgrounds make metallics and brights shine even more! Jayne shows how to get crisp results and dramatic effects — and if you use Translucent powders, you’ll see completely different tones and depths appear over dark cardstocks.
✨ 10. DIY Sparkly Texture Paste
Make your own glitter paste with WOW! Sparkles for beautifully textured, shimmery effects. Perfect for stars, fireworks, or even abstract spark bursts!
