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.

Here is the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Layered Thoughts Joseph’s Coat Technique

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

Waves of Inspiration scene with masking & blending techniques

March 10, 2022
I made this card for an online swap I participated in last month. When I create for a swap I tend to make a few different cards and decide which one I'll use for the swap.  Well once I made this one the decision was made!

Although after stamping, masking, blending and sponging over 20 cards I was regretting my decision! But I am proud of it so it was worth my efforts.

Need cute but easy Scrapbook ideas? I’ve got you covered!

March 9, 2022
It's been awhile since I created scrapbook pages. I actually started out with scrapbooking before stamping.

I know some of my customers have been waiting for me to create a new bunch of scrapbook layouts. I thought the Pattern Party host designer paper was a perfect starting point. Then I added elements from the What a Year Memories & More card pack. Perfect match up! Look:

New Horizons scenic cards; a sure ‘wow’!

March 8, 2022
I've been sharing cards made on a recent Facebook Live featuring the New Horizons suite this week. You just cannot go wrong with these products! Each Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a FB live. Follow me on FB here so you don't miss anything.

Today's cards feature the On the Horizon bundle along with the beautiful New Horizon designer paper. Luckily this paper is in stock!

Save

The only stamping on this card is the birds. I inked in Misty Moonlight ink and stamped off once before stamping on the designer paper scene. The paper provides the gorgeous background.

The card base is Garden Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4". The designer paper is 5 1/4" X 4".

The fence, grass, layered mountains and 'green hills' are all die-cut using the Horizon dies. These dies are currently unavailable but they should be back in stock next week. The 'blue' mountain was cut from a leftover strip of the designer paper and the detailed mountain was cut from White CS.

I decided to try a vertical card as well using this same sheet of New Horizons Designer Paper. This time the card base is Blackberry Bliss cut at 4 1/4" X 11". There are so many colors in this paper; many will work easily.

Save

Details for both cards:
- See the On the Horizon's bundle here.
- The New Horizon's designer series paper is seen here.
- the pebbles enamel shapes are also currently unavailable. They should be back in stock later in March.
- The fence, grass, mountains, hills are all from the Horizon dies.
