A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!


   Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here.  There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.  

I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once.  It's surprisingly close to gold! 

This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.  

I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

Yesterday I shared a pretty card featuring two of the same products seen in this card. Click here to see it. The Christmas Classics stamp set and the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. 

Look at the stunning golden shine on this card! 

I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here.  I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.

  • Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video


    Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video.  It’s so fun!

    My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here. 

    This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors.  Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here).  The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!  

    Watch the video below to see how it’s done.  It’s super fun and such a cool effect.  

    I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges.  Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.  

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Just click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Artistic Leaves Joseph’s Coat

  • 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.
