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.

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.

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

  • Country Wreath’s Vertical Slider fun fold card; with video tutorial


    A few weeks ago I shared multiple projects with the Cottage Wreaths bundle on my weekly FB Live.  This Vertical Slider card was one of them.  It's so cool and surprisingly easy.  

    It's a simple gatefold but the center element holds the card closed so it stays flat.  It's so neat!  I made a second version as well and shared that one here. 

    I used the Santa Express designer paper here as well as the Joyful Flurry bundle and Brightest Glow stamp set. 

    How it works is to have three squares or circles on the back of the center element.  Fold two in half and adhere to the back of your center layer.  Then top it with the third one.  The two must be positioned so the grab the two front panels of the card and can 'slide' down the center seam.  *watch the video below or here to see how it works.  

    Click on the photo below to watch the video.  There's another neat fun fold card AND an easy treat box/bag too!

  • CUTE Card kit to go with the Storybook Gnomes DSP!! Limited quantities….


    I was going to feature the Snowflake Vellum for one of my December card kits to go but it's already sold out.  So I switched to the Storybook Gnomes DSP and I love how they turned out!!

    Even if you aren't a 'gnome' person you'll love these cards.  They're filled with snowflakes, Iridescent ribbon and sparkly gems; two of the five are fun folds and one is interactive!  The Designer paper has many choices; some with pretty 'wintery' backgrounds plus scenes with gnomes. 

    Because the snowflakes & Fine Sparkle gems are discounted I am able to give even more product in this kit!  I aim for $20 in products in my kits PLUS the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28 plus shipping.  

    I have a limited supply of these available so opt in soon!  I will ship these out before Christmas.  

    This kit includes: 

    • the 10 pre-cut cards, die-cut & punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg. (6" X 12") Storybook Gnomes designer paper
    • a share of Iridescent ribbon, Fine sparkle gems & Wonderful Snowflakes
    • the PDF tutorial which is emailed to you right away

    It does not include stamped greetings or ink.  I used the Kindest Gnomes & Joyful Flurry stamps but you can easily substitute them). 

    You'll also need inks (Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, White Craft & Soft Suede), a paper trimmer and the PDF tutorial.

    Click here to get the pre-cut cards kit with products for $28 plus shipping.  *Add on a second kit & save $$.

    Click here to get the PDF tutorial only.  $15
