A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

Save

I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.

These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

This technique involves a few steps:

1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

• Unique fun fold card with the new Regal Winter suite – free project sheet & video too

  September 2, 2024

  ---

  I shared the neatest fun fold card on last week's video.  It features the upcoming new suite called Regal Winter from the Holiday Catalog.  This catalog goes live on Wednesday, September 4th.

  My colors were inspired by the beautiful Regal Winter designer series paper. Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & White. 

  It looks like a normal card front doesn't it?  It's not!  The right side has a fold to it and the edge is tucked under the diagonal layer.

  Isn't that neat?  And it's super easy to make too, but to understand it you may have to watch the video below. Or click here to see it.  

  Here's the view of the inside once opened.  That center Blackberry Layer is attached to only the left side. The DSP strip is centered on it and helps you center the whole piece between the two outer flaps.  It's easy; watch the video! 

  **I'll be sharing two more pretty cards featuring this new suite on Tuesday's FB Live video (Sept 3rd). If you're on Facebook I hope you're following me.  If not find me here.

  It looks like a normal card front doesn't it. But wait!  It opens up like this:

  Isn't that neat?  The side flaps sneak under the front panel. 

  She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card.  It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow!  See all of the papers on sale here. 

  She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center.

  She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base – 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" score at 2 1/4", 4" and 6 1/4" – the widest flap is on the left and right sice when the 2 pieces are sitting next to each other. 
  • 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" front. Glue onto the middle of the folded pieces to hold them together. 
  • White – 4" square for back of card
  • DSP 4 X 4" front, 2 at 1 1/2" X 4" inner panels & 2 at 2" X 4" outer panels 

  Thank you for the measurements Lori!  Here's an view of this neat card from above.
