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.

    I think it's a fun layout and quick too.  I decided to use the designer paper from the Boho Indigo product medley.  I love these tones of blue!

    I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week.  I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create! 

    Welcome Cards Field & Flower Save

    Look at the fun colors and layouts!  I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played.  Have you ever done this?

    This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background.  Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully.  Looking at these cards now I just love i

  • Field & Flower Mystery Card

    I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team.  I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card.  They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card. 

    This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's currently free with any $50 order US.  

    Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card: 

    Field & Flower Mystery Save

    In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon.  I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here).  Look at this amazing stitching!

    The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die!  The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set. 

    To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal.  It really doesn't matter what your angle is.  Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut.  So easy!
