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.

  • What a Year Kit to Go – Spectacular home decor banner & 10 cards too!

    When I create a kit to go I never quite know how the projects will turn out.  Of course I hope for fabulous every time and I'm usually quite happy with the results.  I was amazed at how much I love these What a Year projects!  They truly make me happy just to look at them! They're bright, happy & just plain delightful.

    What a year all Save

    The banner is my favorite.  I needed an update to the decor in my studio and this fit the bill beautifully.  It's nice and big, spanning almost 3 feet across!  It’s perfect for a craft space, office or even a kids room. 

    This kit includes the What a Year Memories & More pack, 10 White cards & envelopes, a sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals and ribbon for the banner.

    No stamps or ink are needed to finish these projects. However you will need adhesives, rhinestones or other gems, scissors, a hole punch and a paper trimmer. If you want to add texture to a few of the cards you will also need a die-cut machine & embossing folders.
