Welcome to WOW! Embossing Powder!
Hey WOW! Embossing friends….Michelle here with you with a new (and by new I mean new release) colour combination. Today I have a new post featuring the new Ice Crystals Trio. These are just the prettiest trio of pink, blue and white with some sparkle thrown in. I felt they’d be perfect to welcome a newborn into the world (even babies need a bit of sparkle)! Keep reading as I show you had I made the perfect baby card with the new Ice Crystals.
The Perfect Baby Card with the new Ice Crystals
- Ink blend a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.5×5.75″ using a pink and blue distress ink, blending pink on the top and blue on the bottom (or vice versa) and ensure you get a nice and even transition of colour in the middle where the 2 meet. Trim the edges all around so it measures 4.25×5.5″. By trimming, it will remove any harsh lines on the edges from the ink blending.
- Take a second piece of white cardstock cut to 4.5×5.75″ and go direct to your cardstock with your embossing inkapad. Ensure you get an even coverage of ink. Sprinkle on one end of the cardstock Blue Ice and the other Pink Ice from the Ice Crsytals Trio There is also a white, but I opted to use only the pink and blue for my project today. Heat the powders from underneath the cardstock with your heat embossing tool, as there are some chunky bits in the powder that you don’t want to blow around.
- Cut the diecut background from the heat embossed panel once it has cooled.
- Adhere the heat embossed diecut background over the ink blended piece placing the pink embossing over the blue ink blending, using liquid adhesive.
- Cut out the stork, beak, legs and bag from white cardstock. Ink blend the beak using a yellow ink and stamp the greeting on the bag and the eyelashes using black ink. Adhere the stork together. Cut an oval from vellum, slightly larger than the stork diecut and adhere to the vellum oval.
- Add the oval to the background, being careful to add the glue behind the diecut stork, so it doesn’t show through the vellum.
- Add to a white A2 (4.25×5.5″) cardbase.
I knew as soon as I saw this new trio, that they’d be perfect for a baby card. They are gorgeous, especially with the bits of sparkle in them! And embossing a full panel and diecutting it, makes for a fabulous background too. Thank you so very much for stopping by today and I wish you all the most wonderful and colourful day! Until next time 🙂

Hello…..my name is Michelle and I’m a Canadian girl living in the beautiful countryside of Switzerland with my Swiss husband and 2 cats. I love all things crafty, shiny and glittery! Besides my love for papercrafting, I also enjoy crocheting and making felt flowers.
My papercrafting journey began about 20 years ago when I walked into my little local stamp and scrapbooking store to make a scrapbook album for my parents’ 20th wedding anniversary. I eventually moved on to cardmaking and haven’t looked back since.
