WOW Embossing Powders

WOW! Embossing Powders are one of the best performing embossing powders in the market. Wow! Embossing Powders are used on various greeting cards, scrapbooks, mixed media projects, and stationery labels to add a little sparkle. Use with Wow! Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Ink Pad for a perfect embossed result!

Wow! Embossing Powders are currently available in three grades of powder, which determines the size of the powder granule. The three grades are known as:

• Super Fine - fine powder that shows up all the details so it works well for detail work. It can give a halo effect if you heat set the image without brushing off the powder.
• Regular - an all-purpose grade - have a bit more height to the Super Fine grade but overall doesn’t have much difference from the Super Fine grade. There’s no halo effect on this grade.
• Ultra-High - the largest granule powders among the three grades. Ideal for thick layers or triple embossing. It will cover up all the details and you can see a thick embossed layered over the image.

Wow! powders are manufactured to have different properties; either a translucent or white raw material. The different bases have different properties which make it possible to achieve all the wonderful effects.

Translucent ( T ) – These powders will allow light through them and so the colour under them will affect the finished result.

Opaque ( O ) – These powders will not let light through and so when embossing they will not be affected by the colour under them.

Marbling ( M ) – These powders have a white base and so when moulding the white will appear producing some fantastic marble effects

Mixture (X) –  These products are blends of any Regular, Super Fine or Ultra High powder.
