A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

August 11, 2025

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

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:

sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White.
Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer.
Stamp your images using Versamark ink.
Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry.
Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer. The embossed areas will resist the water based ink.
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.

I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!

The video tutorial for this card and two more versions is below. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here so you don’t miss any of my tutorials.

Fabulous projects with the Round We Go Bundle and it’s on sale through Sunday!

June 26, 2024

Today I'm sharing the first set of projects by our Artist of the Month for June. Paula chose the Round We Go bundle to create with and she did an incredible job!

Save

This bundle is on sale through June – an extra 20% off. It was $45 and is now just $40 for all of the above. See it here.

This first card features multiple dies and a stamped background too. The designer papers used for the rosettes include Full of Life and the In Color 6" X 6" prints.

Save

Her colors include Boho Blue & Peach Pie with White.

Next is a fun patriotic card she made for her nephew who is in the military. It sure reminds me of decorative bunting!

Save

Her colors are Red, White & Navy with Crumb Cake. She stamped the circles with one of the stamps in the set. Love her creativity!

Next up is a fun card with two 'lollipops' made with the dies in the bundle.

Save

Her colors include Shy Shamrock, Vanilla and Crumb Cake. She layered at least 3-4 of the Crumb Cake 'feel better soon' dies together for a fantastic raised look.

Next is this amazing box. I haven't seen anyone do a half rosette to decorate a box top before! It's genius!

Save

Her colors are Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist. I don't have measurements for the box but it's about 2 3/4" square and over 2" tall.

Save

Here's another box she made where she stamped the entire box with many of the image in the set.

Save

Her box is made from Lemon Lolly card stock and she added a layered stamped greeting made from one of the dies in the set. It's almost like a long milk carton box that closes at the top with twine. Neat!

Aren't her projects amazing? She really showcased this neat bundle. Stop back tomorrow for the rest of her projects!
