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.  

Layered Thoughts emboss Save

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.

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

    She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

    And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

    Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

  • A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial

    Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

    The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

  • Double Flap fold with Branching Out with video & free project sheet

    I shared this card on last week’s Live:

    Save

    It features the new Branching Out bundle from the 2025 Holiday catalog from Stampin’ Up! See the bundle here.

    Save

    My colors include Early Espresso with Old Olive, Pecan Pie & White.

    It opens with two flaps; one on the right opens first. Then the left does too. As you can see I textured the Olive layer with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder. The notched frame dies are included in the Branching Out bundle.

    The designer paper on the left is the Need for Tweed seen here.
