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.

    First is a display board of the Looking at You and Adorable Owls stamp sets.  Both are free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase.

    Both the Thanks a Bunch and the Adorable Owls sets are free with a $50 purchase through February 28th during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I know you all love getting free items as much as I do.  

    See the Thanks a Bunch set here and the Adorable Owls set here.

  • New Catalog Party display pictures!

    I held my new catalog party on Saturday showcasing the Spring & Sale-a-Bration products. It was so fun to have my customers/friends stop in to see everything & visit.  

    Here are a few photos of my displays of new 2023 Spring Catalog products:

    Above you can also see the Country Gingham 6" designer paper and lots of swaps featuring this Country Floral Lane suite. 

    I always join a bunch of swaps so I can get a bunch of samples so I can create display boards like this one:

    I wish the pictures were a little clearer for you but there was some reflection on the clear envelopes covering each card.

    Below are swap cards featuring the Regency Park Suite seen here; one of my favorites! 

    Keep in mind I didn't make all of these cards. I did make that 'many' but received different cards back for the swaps I sent in.  I love swapping!!

  • Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

    I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

    Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  

    Sentimental Park swap Save

    I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

    Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

    SENTIMENTAL PARK BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

    My measurements are simple:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2" X 4"
    • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

    Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

    I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week.  Stop back in!
