Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial

June 23, 2025

I played with the Paper Tags stamp set and the Irresistible Designs Specialty Paper for last week's video. Here's my favorite project:

The colors include Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana and Gorgeous Grape in inks. The card stock is Black, White, Daffodil and Highland Heather.

For the colored designer paper panel I started with a piece at 4" X 5" and blended the three inks on it diagonally. This Irresistible specialty paper seen here resists the ink where they printed the resist designs. Once you add ink, it reveals their pattern. So cool!

After I blended the colors on I randomly cut the single panel into 5 pieces on the diagonal. I share how I did this in the video here. I adhered each panel one at a time starting in the corner. You may need to trim one of the pieces slightly to fit the card base.

For the inside of the card I stamped the greeting and added color to it with coordinating Blends markers.

Here's how you do the Joseph's Coat technique:

Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock.
Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder.
Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer.
Immediately heat emboss with Black embossing powder.

Once I had my tag, I trimmed it by hand (there are coordinating dies) and added a few extra pieces to lengthen the tag and add more layers. I finished it off with a bow.

I created this card for a Flowerbug's Team swap this month. The theme was to make a 'Window' card.

My colors are Balmy Blue, Black & White here. That pretty flower is fussy cut from the True Love Designer Series paper seen here and colored with Balmy Blue Blends. It's my very favorite paper!

I textured the Balmy Blue CS before I die-cut the window; cutting them both at the same time.

Audrey, on my Flowerbug's Team is an expert at coloring and she gave me a few samples made with this set. *All I had to do was layer it and create a finished card with her beautiful colored image! Love that!

I used Sahara Sand as my card base and a few 1/4" strips of Black & White. The oval greeting with a Resin Heart finished it off!
