Welcome to WOW! Embossing Powder!
Welcome to Teal Tuesday: Design Team Top Picks — the ultimate round-up of WOW! favourites, hand-picked by the talented makers who know our powders better than anyone. We asked the team to narrow their choices down to just three… and, well, let’s just say it sparked plenty of lively debate, a few dramatic gasps, and at least one cry of “You want me to choose only THREE?”
Still, after much laughter (and a few very inventive interpretations of the phrase “choose three”), the team pulled together their must-haves. Some went classic with individual favourites, others cleverly opted for Duos, Trios and Quads to stretch the brief, and a couple simply chose entire categories because… well, why pick one when you can love them all? It’s all part of the WOW! charm — and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
As always, our goal with Teal Tuesday is to bring you inspiration and help you save a few pennies along the way. So if you spot something you’ve had your eye on, or you find a new favourite thanks to the DT’s recommendations, now is the perfect moment to pop it on your shopping list… or straight into your basket. No judgement here — we fully support a little crafty self-care.

Tasha’s Top Picks
Polished Gold & Polished Silver
The shine on these is unreal. Honestly, it was love at first sight and that love has never faded. All of the WOW! Metallics are fabulous, but these two? They’ve got a special place in my heART. They just elevate everything.
Rainbow of Sparkles
The shimmer. The vibrancy. The insanely fine texture. There are so many reasons to adore these beauties!!! If you want instant joy in a jar, this is it. I use them constantly because they never, ever disappoint.
A5 Cardstock
Hugely underrated and hands-down the best kept secret for perfect foiling every time. You can stamp, ink blend, colour, foil… pretty much anything you fancy on this stuff, which is why it’s always a firm staple in my crafty stash. Truly a hero product.
Michelle’s Top 3
Polished Silver
I always reach for Polished Silver when I want that clean, crisp metallic shine. It’s such a true silver and adds the most beautiful reflective finish to any project. Simple, classic and absolutely stunning every time.
One Hundred & One
Chunky, textured and full of character — One Hundred & One is one of my all-time favourites. I love how the black and white mix creates instant contrast, and the glossy enamel effect adds so much depth.
Million Dollar Duo
Silver Glass is just gorgeous, however you use it. The texture, the sparkle, the way it catches the light…this is one I go back to again and again when I want something special.
Jayne’s Top 3
Celestial Harmony Duo
I used this Duo to emboss a stencil recently and absolutely loved how beautifully the two shades mixed. Soft, shimmery and so easy to work with.
Enchanted Alchemy Quad
Seth Apter’s mixed media powders are all gorgeous, and this Quad was perfect for my husband’s birthday card this month. So much depth and texture in one set.
HOT Foil
I can’t choose just one — they’re all stunning! The colours are beautiful, the quality is amazing, and they add such a striking finish to any project.
Aditi’s Top 3
Pinktastic Duo
I love how beautifully these blend on mixed media projects. They add such vibrant, energetic colour to any background.
Earth Sparkles
Gorgeous shine and kinder to the environment — the perfect combination for adding sparkle to textured layers.
MMA’s (Mixed Media Additives)
So versatile and great for switching up texture. I use them often to add quick depth and dimension to my mixed media pieces.
Emilie’s Top 3
Melt-It Powder
Such a fun staple for creating custom embellishments. I love how easy it is to melt, mould and shape into something completely unique.
Ultra-High Embossing Powders
Perfect for bold texture. These give the most beautiful raised finish, and I reach for them whenever I want real dimension on a card.
Earth Sparkles Glitter
I adore the sparkle these add to a project, and the eco-friendly formula is a lovely bonus. A quick, simple way to bring extra shine to any design.
Larissa’s Top 3
Pearl Gold Sparkle
Hello crafty friends!! This Pearl Gold Sparkle is one of those powders I reach for when I want a soft, elegant shimmer that lifts a design without shouting at you.
Fab Foilers – Sweet Sentiments
When I need a quick sentiment to finish off a card, these are a lifesaver!! Just add foil and you’ve instantly got a crisp, polished sentiment without any fuss.
Fruit Puffs Quad
If I’m after fun, texture and colour all in one thick, juicy hit — Fruit Puffs is my go-to. I love how playful and bold it can be for whimsical cards when you want a bit of cheerful texture and extra dimension.
Olga’s Top 3
Clear Embossing Powder
Perfect for adding texture and shine without covering the colours beneath. I use it often for subtle depth in layered backgrounds.
Opaque Bright White
A favourite for crisp, clean embossing — especially on darker backgrounds. It gives beautiful contrast and makes details pop.
Cotton Candy Sparkles
I love the soft pastel of these sparkles for adding a gentle, dreamy shimmer. They’re ideal for light, whimsical mixed media projects. It’s so hard to pick just one!
Lidiia’s Top 3
Ray of Sunshine
Ray of Sunshine is pure magic. Its delicate golden sparkle adds such refined elegance to any composition, and it’s easily one of my favourite gold powders.
Heritage Quad
The Heritage Quad from Seth Apter is incredible — deep, universal shades that are perfect for mixed-media projects. I love how beautifully they enhance backgrounds and add subtle, rich detail.
WOW HOT Foil
My newest obsession! WOW Hot Foil gives the most stunning shine and crisp, detailed impressions. The “wow effect” it adds to a finished project is just unbeatable.
Christine’s Top 3
Reinkers for Ink Pads
These are absolute essentials for me — so easy to use and perfect for keeping my ink pads juicy and ready to go. I love how effortless these make it to add embossing exactly where I want it.
Clear Super Fine
A staple for crisp detail — perfect for sentiments, fine lines and anything that needs a clean embossed finish without adding bulk.
Polished Silver Super Fine
It gives the prettiest metallic shine while still keeping every little detail sharp.
Maybe “boring” choices, but definitely my most-used!
Tetiana’s Top 3
Primary Ebony
My go-to for strong lines and that classic embossed look. It gives such bold contrast on both cards and mixed media backgrounds.
Black Magic
Like Ebony with beautiful pops of gold and silver. It adds instant drama and a gorgeous metallic twist to any project.
Earthtone Olive
Rich, earthy and my favourite shade of green. Perfect for adding natural depth and warmth to layered pieces.

I’m completely obsessed with this pen. It’s so easy to use and perfect for adding little embossed details exactly where I want them.
Polished Gold & Polished Silver Superfine
These two are absolute essentials for me. I use them all the time! The superfine detail and metallic shine are just gorgeous.
Night on the Town Duo
I’m on board with anything sparkly, and this Duo definitely steals the show. Both shades are stunning and add the most beautiful shimmer to any project.
Bea’s Top 3
Embossing Pad
Honestly — the embossing pad is a must. Without it, none of the powders would work their magic! 😂 It’s the foundation for everything I love to create.
Polished Gold
Polished Gold is my favourite metallic for adding a touch of elegance. It embosses so smoothly and gives the prettiest warm shine — perfect for sentiments, accents and little details that tie a card together.
Aurora Borealis
Aurora Borealis is my go-to when I want soft, magical sparkle. It has that gorgeous iridescent glow that works beautifully over light colours and delicate designs, adding shimmer without overwhelming anything.
Dekodonka’s Top 3
Clear Sparkle
Perfect for adding a light, magical shimmer without covering the colours underneath. A favourite for subtle, glittery layers.
White Pearl
Soft, elegant and beautifully pearly. I love this for a gentle glow that feels dreamy and delicate.

A gorgeous choice for creating romantic, nostalgic vibes. It adds a lovely softness to any project.
Silvia’s Top 3
WOW Basics (Ebony, Clear, Opaque Bright White, Gold Rich & Clear Sparkle)
Choosing favourites is so hard because I love everything WOW — but the basics are the ones I reach for all the time. Ebony and Opaque Bright White for crisp sentiments, Gold Rich for that classic touch of elegance, Clear for glossy detail and Clear Sparkle for a hint of shimmer. These really are my everyday essentials.
WOW Fab and HOT Foils
And of course… the foils! They always add such a beautiful, elegant finish to any project. Whether it’s sentiments or small accents, the shine instantly lifts the whole design.
