Whimsy Stamps and WOW Collaboration Blog Hop Day 2

Hi friends. The Whimsy Stamps and WOW teams are joining forces for an amazing 2 day blog hop.

The blog hop starts right now and will run until the 5th of April. As we have so many talented designers wanting to play along we decided to celebrate by split the blog hop up over two days. 

The Winners will be chosen at random in the week of the of 8th of April from the comments left on THE POSTS. There are two prizes which means two winners!!!! WOW! Embossing Powders has - 6 powders of your choosing along with a WOW carry case to store your powders safely in. Whimsy Stamps is giving away a $25 gift certificate to their store. 

To join this GIVEAWAY you must leave a comment on the designer's blog post and each comment you leave is an entry for a chance at getting your hands on these prizes. This hop is open internationally. 

I have 3 cards to share with you today and am excited about the products I used from both companies. If you've been hopping along, you should have arrived from the talented Amber Rain Davis but if you didn't, make sure to scroll to the bottom to see the entire list of designers hopping along today.

For my first card, I die cut the Lattice A2 die and then covered it with embossing ink. I then poured on the Black Magic embossing powder over top of it. I absolutely love this embossing powder as it creates so much texture and different shades of metallic. I also die cut 2 more of the Lattice A2 dies and adhered all 3 die cuts together for added dimension.

If you look close at the photo, you can see the different shades. This powder would be great for masculine cards.

I finished off the card by stamping one of the sentiments from the Shine Bright stamp set and then die cut it with one of the circle dies from the Pierced & Stitched Circle dies. I added it with foam tape and this card is complete.

My second card is the same as the first except this time I used the Hot Gossip Embossing Glitter over top of my Lattice A2 die.

For my last card, I took the Fireworks stencil and added embossing ink through the stencil. I then removed the stencil and coated the panel with the Neptune Embossing Glitter. As you can see in the photo, this is a really cool powder that provided blue along with a sparkly silver mixed in it.

After I had heat embossed my panel, I took the Celebrate Word and Shadow die and die cut the celebrate word directly into my panel. 

I then die cut the word two more times out of white card stock. I added all the die cuts together and laid them into the die cut opening of the panel for this eclipse technique.

I finished off the card by die cutting the panel with the largest die from the Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies and then added the stamped sentiment which is from Old Geezer on with some foam tape.

Your next step on the hop is the very talented Karen Reategui.

Here is the entire hop list for today.
