Joseph’s Coat technique video with the Botanical Layers

We're making these cards tonight on Facebook Live here on my FB page!  It's a technique that will WOW you with it's magic.

I chose to use the new Botanical Layers stamp set along with two new In Colors of Tahitian Tide & Parakeet Party.  I also added a bit of Bermuda Bay. 

The first step is to add color to a Basic White piece of card stock.  I used our Blending Brushes and added it randomly like this:

The next step is to stamp your images onto this colored card stock using Versamark ink and heat emboss using Clear embossing powder.  I highly recommend using an embossing buddy; although Stampin' Up! does not currently have them in our catalog.  It prevents excess powder from adhering to your paper before you stamp and heat emboss.  

After your heat embossing dries you need just two things to make these colorful, magical technique.  A classic 'dark' color of ink – I used Memento Black.  And a tissue or paper towel.  

You will take your classic/water-based ink pad (Black Memento for me here) and rub the ink pad directly over the heat embossed card stock.  Because the ink is water-based it will not adhere to the heat embossed areas but WILL adhere to the background that is NOT heat embossed. 

Next use a tissue or soft paper towel to rub off excess ink to reveal your colorful design.  

Here are my two pieces before I finished my cards:

Here are the measurements:

  • Card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • stamped layer is 4" X 3", Parakeet Party green is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
  • 2 pieces DSP 2" X 1 1/2" and a greeting die-cut

In this photo you can see a bit of the shine on the leaves from the heat embossing.  It truly is magic!  Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT.

  • He’s the Man fun fold card; Facebook Live tonight!

    Here's the card  we're making tonight for Stamp with Me Live. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.
    Gather some supplies and create along with me.
     
     
    I used He's the Man DSP; no stamping on the front.  I used the die-cuts included in the special He's the Man designer series paper.  I love this paper with the two sheets of fun elements we can use for card making or scrapbooking.  
     
    It's a fun fold card with the bottom half opening up to reveal the same angled square piece as the front. These are from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  This set of dies is all stitched in squares, circles and banner shapes!
     
    Measurements:
    • Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", & 2 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • embossed back is 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Squares 2 3/4" & 2 3/8"
    • DSP 5 1/4" X 2"
    Other products used:
    Dies are Stylish Shapes; Brick embossing folder & Rustic Metallic adhesive-backed dots.
     
    The stamp is from the He's All That bundle; the arrow is another element from the Designer Paper seen here. 
     

    Join me here where I'll share a few more cards made with this layout.
