Embossing On Glass

Hi all and thanks for stopping by today!
Today I am going to share with you a super easy tutorial on embossing on glass.


So I had this glass pumpkin candy dish that I picked up super cheap last year after Halloween. And I really wanted to do something to dress it up. I have never tried embossing on glass before so I thought I would give it a try. For now all I have done is decorate the lid and that is what I am going to share with you today.
 So to start with I took my WOW! Embossing Pen and inked the stem up really good. I then poured Metalline Green all over it. One thing I found out during this process is that it takes awhile for the powder to heat up and melt on the glass. So be patient when you are using your heat gun to get the powder completely melted.
Next I took my WOW! Embossing Pen and drew really thick lines down the groves of the lid and then sprinkled them with Black Glint. I used a paint brush to brush off any extra powder that I didn't want on the lid before I heated up the powder.
 I then added a little burlap, some wire that I coiled up, and a Tim Holtz embellishment to finish it out. Now its ready to fill with candy come October!!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my post today. If you have never embossed on glass you should really give it a try. Until next time!!

Warmly,
Sherrie!!

Father's Day Card

For the June WOW! team post I created a Father's Day card.
 
Wondering how I made it look like a piece of notebook paper?? I started by dry embossing the white cardstock using a sizzix embossing folder. I then lightly rubbed the ridges with my versamark ink pad. And lastly I covered it with Earthtone Pepper embossing powder.
 
 
I really like how it came out.


For the vine I used green cardstock in the Martha Stuart vine punch, which I covered with Metalline Green powder. And for the Grateful tickets, I stamped the image on velum and then covered it with Whirly Pop powder.

JK-5K

Today I am going to share with you a layout I made using two of my favorite WOW! Glitter Embossing Powders....Suzy West Sierra Sunrise and Black Glint (my other favorite is the Neutral Ultra Shimmer!)

 
Ever since I can remember I have loved to run. Even now that I am older I still love to run 5K races regularly throughout the summer. I do it because I love it and not for the time. So when I found out I had actually placed at this race I was thrilled. So to highlight this achievement I made this layout.

Since yellow is my favorite color I took yellow cardstock and cut out the JK 5K and then embossed them with the Suzy West Sierra Sunrise Embossing Powder.
 


Then on my chipboard numbers and letters I double embossed them by first embossing them with Ebony and then with Black Glint. I wanted to make sure they had a really good black base. I just love how the glitter embossing powder just gives your project a little extra sparkle.

 
Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to come back tomorrow and see a group post by one of our amazing teams!!
Warmly,
Sherrie!!

MIA!!

My-Oh-My has my life been just super crazy busy the last few months!! I can't believe that it has been soooooooo long since my last post here. But between family, work, house, DT work for both The Scrapbook Outlet and WOW!, and buying For The Luv of Art things have been busy for me. I feel bad that I have neglected my blog and am going to do my best to do much better about posting on here.

And to get started I am going to share some tags I created using the amazing WOW! Embossing Powders and WOW! Stamps.


The WOW! Stamps are photopolymer which means they are higher quality stamps and make amazing images. They will also never turn yellowish with age.

For this first tag (above) I used the heart boarder from the Gratitude set and Whirly Pop and Gold Rich Regular embossing powders.

For the second tag I used the Brocade Background stamp on both the tag and heart. I used Earthtone Pepper embossing powder on the tag and Gold Rich Regular on the heart.

And for the last tag I again used the Brocade Background stamp but used Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder this time. On the heart I used Whirly Pop and on the Crown I used Gold Rich Regular.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the tags.

Warmly,
Sherrie!!
