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.

  • Unique fun fold card with the new Regal Winter suite – free project sheet & video too

    I shared the neatest fun fold card on last week's video.  It features the upcoming new suite called Regal Winter from the Holiday Catalog.  This catalog goes live on Wednesday, September 4th.

    My colors were inspired by the beautiful Regal Winter designer series paper. Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & White. 

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it?  It's not!  The right side has a fold to it and the edge is tucked under the diagonal layer.

    Isn't that neat?  And it's super easy to make too, but to understand it you may have to watch the video below. Or click here to see it.  

    Here's the view of the inside once opened.  That center Blackberry Layer is attached to only the left side. The DSP strip is centered on it and helps you center the whole piece between the two outer flaps.  It's easy; watch the video! 

    **I'll be sharing two more pretty cards featuring this new suite on Tuesday's FB Live video (Sept 3rd). If you're on Facebook I hope you're following me.  If not find me here.

    Isn't that neat?  The side flaps sneak under the front panel. 

    She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card.  It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow!  See all of the papers on sale here. 

    She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center.

    She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite.
