On last week's Live video I featured the Fragrant Forest stamp set. Trees are one of my 'go to' choices for card making; I like most botanical images though. I find them comforting and versatile and this large background stamp is truly beautiful.

I kept my colors to White & Pretty Peacock. If you ever struggle with color combos try just one with White or Vanilla; they're usually quite beautiful.

Dies used here include the Countryside Corner dies (2023-24 annual catalog) & Forever Forest dies (2023 Holiday catalog) for the die-cut mountains on the bottom of the card . The greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies; a definite must have! See the Fragrant Forest stamp set here.

Here's the inside view:

You might wonder just how I achieved the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the card. Watch the video here.

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile! And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp. Try it!

Last card in the Joseph’s Coat series with a video & free project sheet for each!

August 13, 2025

Here’s the last card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique this week. You can see the video tutorial below.

Save

It features the Textured Notes stamp set seen here. I love this set! But I love the dies in the bundle even more. See the bundle here.

I used two of our newest In Colors here – Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. I love the fact that the Secret Sea matches the Cloud Cover card stock I used for the card base; when sponged lightly.

Both of these colors are part of the big In Color sale during August, 2025! It includes card stock, inks, markers, designer papers, embellishments, kits and lots more! Check out the many discounted products here.

If you’re wondering how to make this incredible colorful effect please watch the video below. I also gave the step by step directions in this post.

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

August 12, 2025

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!

Save

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

Save

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.
