One Sheet Purse mini album; Double free Sale-a-Bration choices ends tomorrow!


Here's a cute one sheet mini album you can make with one 12 X 12" designer paper sheet.  I made it during a recent Facebook Live.  See the video here. 

I chose to use the Pleased as Punch Designer Series paper. It coordinates with four of our current punches; the Umbrella, Tulip, Small Blooms and Heart punch pack.  This paper is only available through March!  See it here and get it while you can. 

The finished size is about 4" X 3". You can add photos anywhere including inside the pockets. 

I used the Under My Umbrella bundle (seen here) and the Small Blooms punch for the flowers.  I rounded the corners with the Detailed Trio punch. 

Measurements:

  • Start with an 8 X 12" sheet of paper
  • Score it at 4" on one side horizontally (Be aware of the direction of your paper!)
  • Rotate the paper and score it at 3", 6" and 9".  Cut up to the score line.  (See video; it starts about 19 minutes in.) 
  • The cover/wrap is 4" X 8 1/2"

  • Last card in the Joseph’s Coat series with a video & free project sheet for each!


    Here’s the last card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique this week.  You can see the video tutorial below.  

    It features the Textured Notes stamp set seen here.  I love this set! But I love the dies in the bundle even more.  See the bundle here. 

    I used two of our newest In Colors here – Secret Sea and Timid Tiger.  I love the fact that the Secret Sea matches the Cloud Cover card stock I used for the card base; when sponged lightly. 

    Both of these colors are part of the big In Color sale during August, 2025!  It includes card stock, inks, markers, designer papers, embellishments, kits and lots more!  Check out the many discounted products here. 

    If you’re wondering how to make this incredible colorful effect please watch the video below.  I also gave the step by step directions in this post.

  • Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video


    Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video.  It’s so fun!

    My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here. 

    This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors.  Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here).  The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!  

    Watch the video below to see how it’s done.  It’s super fun and such a cool effect.  

    I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges.  Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.  

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Just click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Artistic Leaves Joseph’s Coat

  • A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts


    Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

    I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

    These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

    This technique involves a few steps:

    1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
    2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
    3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
    4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
    5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
    6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

    Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

    I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!
