My final post for WoW Design Team.

Hi all

This is my final post for on the WoW Embossing Powder Design Team. Iv'e thoroughly enjoyed my time with WoW but after approx 3/4 years, I thought it was time to leave the group and make way for fresh and exciting new talent especially as I'm moving on to crafty pastures new.

This project was made using Viva Las Vegas stamps and inks. Go to the WoW blog here to see more of the projects from the WoW team using VLV products.

I'm looking forward to seeing the fantastic projects made with WoW powders in the coming year and good luck to all the new Team members.

Wedding Box/Treasure Box for that special occasion

Here's my latest creation - a Wedding Box/Treasure Box

These boxes are great for that "special day" to put cards or money in and can be saved to
keep as a treasure box for all those special sentimental little things.

Great fun to make and lots of uses for them for Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries etc.

Imagination Craft Samples for Create and Craft TV

Hi all

As promised here are a few of the samples I made for the Create and Craft show today.

MDF Stands from Imagination Crafts -

For this Stand I mixed I.C. Gesso with Baking powder and spread it through a Snowflake Stencil then used my heat gun to make it expand a little. I then added the new I.C. Alchemy wax onto the board with my finger so that I could spread it between the raised snowflakes.

These new Blackboard MDF Stands come with their own sticky-backed black sheet so that you could stick them to the board and write onto the boards with chalk.  Iv'e created something a little different with my samples  and included post-it notes for the Shopping List Stand and for the Christmas Stands Iv'e used Stencils and the new Art Cutz shapes which will be out soon.

The paint Iv'e used is "Starlight" Paint - the new paint from Imagination Crafts that goes onto almost anything. Iv'e even used it for painting onto metal embellishments.

Landscape Moon backgrounds from Imagination Crafts

Hi all

As promised another card made with one of my backgrounds - Iv'e used a waterproof ink pad and acrylic paints to add colour to these background papers.

The papers are coated so water-based ink pads do not dry well on them but waterproof ink pads work well. They still need a little time to dry as does any acrylic paint you use on them.

For this card Iv'e coloured my flowers with Gold Metallic and Lime Green Acrylic paint.
