Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!

May 12, 2023

This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too!

I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies. The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies. You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down.

You can see this bundle here online.

I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts

August 11, 2025
Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique? It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

Save

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.

Save

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.
