  • Irresistible Designs emboss resist technique with free project sheet & video


    I shared this card on last week's Live video. I wanted to feature the new Irresistible Designs specialty paper seen here in the new Annual catalog.  It has printed/embossed patterns that are perfect for the emboss resist technique.  

    Irresistable designs this or that

    Which color do you prefer? Are you a yellow or a purple person?  

    My colors include Lemon Lolly, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. For inks I chose Lemon Lolly, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. 

    I cut my strips first, then blended the inks on. I textured the center Smoky Slate layer with the Glass & Gardens embossing folders.  The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.

    I stamped the greeting twice; first on the circle and again on a small piece of card stock.  I fussy cut the 'Celebrate' out and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals.  This was such an easy card!

  • Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial


    I played with the Paper Tags stamp set and the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper for last week's video.  Here's my favorite project: 

    Joseph's Coat technique

    The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks.  The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather. 

    For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern.  So cool!  

    After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here. I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.  

     

    Joseph's Coat Paper tags

    For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers. 

    Here's how you do the Joseph's Coat technique:

    1. Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock. 
    2. Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder. 
    3. Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer. 
    4. Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder. 

    Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow.

  • Awesome fun fold swaps by the Flowerbug’s


    Today I'm sharing two neat fun fold cards made by a few of my Flowerbug's for a recent card swap. Our them was to use a new 2025-27 In Color and make it a fun fold.  

    First is a card made by Joan who used the new Online Exclusive set 'It's Okay' seen here.  

    June Joan It's okay.

    Her In Color is Strawberry Slush and she loves to color; as you can see!  It's a triple fold card; here's how the first panel opens:

    June It's Okay Joan

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White opening panel 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4"
    • inside DSP – large right panel is 3 3/4" X 5", greeting strip 3 7/8" X 1", back of the front panel 3 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • front white panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Front Strawberry panel 3" X 4 1/4"
    • side strip to connect panels 3" X 1" scored in half

    Isn't her coloring gorgeous?  That Bokeh DSP is perfect here!  

    June It's Okay Joan

    Candace made this next card – a double box card! 

    June Candace You are Remarkable

    She used the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  It's a great 2-step set with lots of possibilities.  Her colors include Strawberry Slush, Black, Gray and White.  The Designer Paper is the Botanical Textures; also in our Online Store here. 

    Here are her measurements:

    • card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 1", 2", 3" & 4"
    • Strawberry Slush textured layers – 3 at 7/8" X 5 1/4", 1 at 7/8" X 3 7/8"
    • White front 2 7/8" X 3 7/8", back is 3 3/4" X 5"
