Paper Tags Joseph’s Coat technique with video tutorial

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

Save

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:

1. Sponge or blend multiple colors onto your neutral cardstock. 
2. Swipe the embossing buddy over this layer; tap off excess powder. 
3. Ink the stamp image in Versamark ink; stamp onto the layer. 
4. 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.

• Sand & Sea Spinner Fun-Fold card

  March 17, 2021

  ---

  For our Team swap this month Candace created this pretty spinner card with the Friends are Like Seashells bundle and the Seashell embossing folder.  

  Save

  This gorgeous embossing folder has been unavailable for a few weeks; but it should be back in stock on the 29th of March.

  Her colors are Sahara Sand, Navy & Calypso Coral. She used the Oval dies and the Stitched Shapes dies for her spinner.  She also added beautiful shimmer to the shell but it doesn't show up well in this photo. 

  To make a spinner card you need to adhere a length of twine between two ovals adhering the twine under another layer on the main card.  It's not hard; just a bit fiddly. 

  She went above the window card theme and added a surprise flip up layer! 

  Save

  Stop back in for more window cards all week long!
