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!

  • Mini Coffee Carriers; a special gift with treats & glue stands!


    Have you noticed the mini coffee carriers on page 9 of the Holiday catalog? They're actually quite large and should not be called mini!  You can see the entire suite here. 

    My friend Marilyn made this one for me; casing the catalog project on page 10.  It's so cool! 

    She used the Heartwarming Hugs and Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.  She wrapped her coffee cups with Real Red CS. Tip; use strong adhesive like Tear & Tape for this. 

    Here's another version. I made these for my Flowerbug's Team that attended OnStage@Home a few weeks ago.  It was filled with treats, apple cider packet and a liquid glue stand that we make *see photo below

    I actually sprayed my coffee cups with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Real Red ink refill.  

    Here are the Multipurpose Glue stands included in the gift above. We have them available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each. 


    We can fit three in a box for almost the same shipping cost.  They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

  • Three easy cards with Curvy Christmas set


    I mentioned I'd made quite a few cards with the Curvy Christmas stamp set.  I wanted to share a few of them.  

    To clarify these products, the Curvy Christmas & Classic Christmas 6" Designer Paper will be available through January 4th or while supplies last.  You can see it all here: 

    I used the pine bow to create a garland and added a fussy cut bow. Super quick card! 

    Here I used the Pine Tree punch and Perfectly Plaid stamp set with the Classic Christmas DSP.  The White card base measures 5 1/2" X 7", scored at 4 1/4".  Add a 1" strip of DSP on the inside right edge.  

    Above I used the Curvy Dies on my White layer.  Look how perfectly the dies match the stamp!  I added a few greenery die-cuts and one from the Poinsettia dies on the top. I may have gotten a little carried away with my Red rhinestones!  

    Remember that all online orders in November get my 22 project PDF for the Curvy Celebrations bundle.  Order online here.
