WOW! Embossing Powder makes such a great addition to the UWS product line! It can be used with our stencils and masks, behind our chipboard, on our chipboard, with a stamp and more.

For today's project I, DeeDee and UWS Owner and Creative Director, bring you my own project!

I have utilized the Alpha 2, Sketchy Cloud MASH and Rainy Day Confetti chipboard pieces from UmWowStudio. The Alpha 2s have been covered in a delicious opaque white powder from WOW. I love how the white is so bright but the letters are outlined by their ashy edge. What a delicious combo!

Visit me at my blog for more details :)

Destination Unknown {7 Dots Studio & UmWowStudio MASH UP}

Hello folks! DeeDee here today to inspire you with Destination Unknown!!!

I can't say it often enough... so here I go again. I'm SO lucky to get to design papers for the wonderful company 7 Dots Studio. I'm just as equally lucky to own UmWowStudio and design pieces I want... AND I'm even more just as lucky to get to coordinate the two!

During the month of May the DT from 7 Dots Studio and the CT from UmWowStudio are inspiring you using the collection from both companies... we'll here I am today, as the owner, creator, and artistic mind behind Destination Unknown to inspire you :) 

I've put together a couple of tags to share. 

The tag bases are two pieces of watercolor paper cut using the Sizzix / Tim Holtz #8 die. I use this die for almost EVERY tag base, because it allows me to cut this nice large delicious tag from any sheet of almost any material that I desire. Fan girl!

The tags have then been layered up with lots of deliciousness like dimensional adhesive, altered chipboard, fibers, a Waybill/Invoice background stamp from VLVS! and more. Both tags also have a layer of the Destination Unknown Diecut Tags from 7 Dots Studio.

The left tag is comprised of a chunk o' May Arts Webbing to resemble a fishing net, some atlas paper, and pieces of UmWowStudio chipboard from the Sea Life Set, Coral and Mermaid Duo. The chipboard has been altered with Gesso and Glimmer Mist.

The right tag is layered up with a distressed piece of cheese cloth, washi tape, paper doily, some sewing and a Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamp { Whale Tail }. It's also got layers of UmWowStudio chipboard from the Sand Dollar and Starfish sets. The Starfish Wishes is a sentiment sticker from the sheet included in the 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown collection pack. 

Both tags were finished with some May Arts burlap twine.

Delish right?

Sketch Inspiration {Daddy's Gloves 12x12}

Hello Hello!! DeeDee here again, today.

Today I'm inspiring you using yesterday's grungy stampy delicious sketch! (Which you have all month to enter, of course)

The sketch! 

And I worked up the following 12x12 based on it. 

As you can see, that's my Oobaloob (Gabe) wearing his daddy's work gloves. He makes the cutest faces when I take photos, so I knew the photobooth styled photos in the sketch would be a perfect way to show them off. The paper base is from our dear friends at 7 Dots Studio from the brand new Cold Country line by Finnabair.

 

I took advantage of the grungyness in the sketch by laying out some Blick gesso underneath the spot for my photo. I've layered up tons of Viva Las VegaStamps! rubber stamps (Color Wheel Lines, Coffee Ring Stain, Victorian Flourish, Waybill/Invoice Background and Rear View Vintage Car) all in black Archival Ink by Ranger. In this cluster there's some Gauche Alchemy Washi Tape, Element Die Cuts from Nature Walk by 7 Dots Studio, Prima embellishments, and an UmWowStudio bit from the Gear Mash which has been swiped with a black ink pad.

Here is a bit more stamping and clustering, including a piece of Chevron ribbon from May Arts, those great stamps from VLVS!, a Prima brad, a tag reinforcement from the Soar Tag set and a piece of flair from Moon Shine.

Here's a great close up of what our fabulous chipboard looks like with just a dab o' ink! Take any color ink of any type ink pad you want, and just swipe it right across your chipboard piece. If you press hard enough it will color the whole thing, or you can lighten up a bit and get a more mottled, grungy effect like this. I used a Black Archival pad by Ranger to swipe across a couple pieces from the Layered Triangles. You can also see in this photo a bit of the checker pattern from our Checker Board Mask. I just misted a bit o' instant coffee through the mask for a nice dull but noticeable effect.

And finally... I used one of the frames from the Movie ATC frames set, chopped off 1/3 of it and slid it under my raised photo sequence. It's a great anchor. The title is 'Daddy's Gloves' and was made using a basic dymo label maker. I also finished off with some random stamping around the page using a date stamps to mark the occasion.

Thanks for stopping by to see me today :) It's always a pleasure to connect with the UmWowStudio fans. See you next time♥ DeeDee

Destiny Is Calling {Card & Video}

Hello UWS Fans♥ DeeDee here today with a card and a tutorial. 

But first, I want to tell you we've got our one year Birthday coming up next week... and if you've been following us on our Social Media channels you'll know we've got some GREEEEEEAT stuff planned. Pocket chip. Prizes. Mini Books. Giveaways. Challenges. Inspiration. Celebration deliciousness!! So join us back here Monday for that! (And every day until then for goodness, too!)

Now.. back to our regularly scheduled program. When I started with this card it was intended for a Christmas Call from a magazine... low and behold it neither fit their criteria or even was a Christmas card by the end, lol,.

This card features the Nature Walk collection from 7 Dots Studio with a splattering of Tarnished Silver mist by Tattered Angels.  Lots of Prima embellishments like the Love Handles, flowers, silver tinsel, engraver brad and Bark Star. In the background I've stamped the French Writing BG and Coffee Ring stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps!. 

I used the Destiny Is Calling Flair from the Moon Shine set and the Chipboard Star Confetti by UmWowStudio. You can see in the following video how I altered the chipboard to match my card:

And here you can see the super cool new sequins I got! These are from Pretty Pink Posh, and I adore them as a little splash o' clear goodness. 

Throwback Thursday - Authentique & UmWowStudio

Welcome back to our final installation of THROWBACK THURSDAY!! We're Swappin' n Hoppin' n Inspirin' with the team over @ Authentique. 

We're using oldie but goodie products from both companies in an effort to share some great TBT inspiration with you! We're also inviting you to complete a project of your own using both UmWowStudio and Authentique products (any and all products qualify!) Link up at the bottom of the post and be entered to win a prize pack full of Authentique and UWS goodness! Ends the end of November♥ Need some UmWowStudio to help?? Check out this promotion!

Today we have CHRISSY up first with this amazing mini using the Curiosity collection by Authentique.

Chrissy says "Here's a book I made for my son so that he learns to set goals. The book was super easy to make and Authentique's "Curiousity" 6x6 pad was perfect. Add some Geekery Flair and Star Confetti for the perfect finishing touches and you have a cute little daily reminder to carry in a book bag or purse."

Next up is a 12x12 by Jess Mutty:

Jess Says: I used the two lovely lines from Authentique: Be(you)tiful and Blissful. They coordinate perfectly with each other and happen to be focused on one of my favorite color combos, gray and yellow. They were also the perfect choice to use for this photo of my little fashionista in her gray and yellow market skirt.

Of course the touch of pink adds just the right amount of girly, along with sweet UmWowStudio confetti hearts, love speech bubbles, and the cute polka dot flair from The 2 of Us set. That's a lot of love!

The speech bubbles and heart confetti are a match made in heaven for this little cluster above my photo. I love them!

UWS products:
Symbol Mash Chip
Heart Confetti
The 2 of Us Flair
Love Speech Bubbles

Other products:
Paper, diecuts - Authentique
