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

Quite Curvy & Classic Christmas Strips

December 23, 2020

I totally enjoy making these strip cards! It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use!

Save

You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below.

I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card. It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last. The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler. See it here.

I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies. They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog. See them here now.

Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

December 21, 2020
Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space? Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point? Every piece of this card was a scrap!

Save

The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it. So it sat in a pile for weeks.

The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink. The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too. You can see them here. They're 50% off right now; while supplies last. They are perfect for shaker cards too.

The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too! Easy peasy!

I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th. I'm so sad it's going away! If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone. Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17!

Measurements:
- Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White 3" X 3 5/8"
- Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
- Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces
Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
