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!

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

ARTISTIC LEAVES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

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

My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!

December 2, 2021

I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea! I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time. It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!

I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit! It's so fun to do.

For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes.

Save

Below are the templates. Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with. For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to.

As you can see these templates have very little waste.

Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp.

And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy.

I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these! They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6.

I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

Below is the video so you can see how it's done.
