Joseph’s Coat technique video with the Botanical Layers

May 23, 2022

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.

Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

June 5, 2020

I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder. I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been. People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too! I LOVE hearing this!

So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.

The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side. Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown. Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines.

The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

You can see part of the template under the cards here:

For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.

Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

June 4, 2020

Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far. The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive! That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image. Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here. That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.

If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go! Click here to order. Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow!
