Birthday Cards

Adding Sparkle to Cards is Easier Than You Think!

Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I’m going to show you how to add sparkle to a cute card using specialty embossing powders! And not only that, but they give a wonderful dimension too! The powder I’ve used for today’s card is from the Building Blocks quad which was a collaboration with Seth Apter that Wow! did earlier in the year. It’s a beautiful industrial looking set of powders, but this one is really subtle and gives a beautiful shine and dimension to your projects. Embossing die-cuts is one of my favourite things to do, because it completely transforms your cardstock and makes your cards really stand out from the crowd! Of course, I HAD to take it a step further and add some rhinestone gems too!
