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: 

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.

  • Best of the Clearance Rack!


    I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorite finds on the clearance rack. 

    I ordered this kit for my future daughter-in-law. She loves to stamp & create but doesn't have a lot of products yet.  Our kits are perfect for her.  It's item #158375   See it here. 

    This kit is just $8.80 (it was $22) and includes:
    * Love, Santa Photopolymer Stamp Set
    * Acrylic stamp block
    * Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot
    * Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
    * Makes 12 tags: 3 each of 4 designs
    **Adhesive-backed sequins
    * Adhesive to complete projects
    * Printed designer box for storage or crafting on the go: 9-7/8" x 6-1/2" x 2-3/4" 

    There are so many more kits available in our kit collection. If you're looking for great gifts for crafters most are all inclusive and really do make a fabulous gift! I'm surprised some of them are still in stock!  See them all here.

    Texture Chic Memories & More cards are the perfect start to easy but beautiful cards or memory keeping. 

    They were $10 and are now $4. The item # is 159201 and can be seen here. 

    It includes 50 cards in two sizes and 4 sticker sheets.  They pair perfectly with the Texture Chic Memories & more cards & envelopes!

    There are 20 printed cards and envelopes that coordinate with the M & More cards above. These are big cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4". They were $12 and are now $4.80.  Item #159202 

    I love these for quick cards; they're perfect for a beginner stamper or quick cards. I often change them up by trimming the cards or using them in unexpected ways. See them here. 

    There are many more great items left on the Clearance Rack; be sure to check them out right away.

  • Sparkling Snowflakes Easy 5 Card Wonder with free templates & video


    I'm excited to share today's project. You may know this but I LOVE stamping one sheet wonders! I have created many of them and the layers & templates to make them super easy to use. *see them here

    On last week's Live video I shared these pretty snowflake cards; made with my Easy 5 card wonder templates. 

    I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. Snowflakes can be wintery or holiday; they're quite versatile.  I added greetings using the Tailor Made Tags & Stylish Shapes dies with a bit of Elegant trim cording. 

    My colors include Coastal Cabana, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party & Fresh Freesia. 

    I started out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of Basic White card stock. I stamped the snowflakes down the center so some would be on each of the card front pieces.  Each piece measures 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". 

    You can see the stamped pieces below.  There is very little waste.  I love being able to create my own patterns with different color combos.  It's so fun and reminds me why I love stamping! 

    After you've stamped and cut your 5 layers, you can choose to stamp your greetings in the open area or add greetings using a punch or die-cut.

    Now choose a coordinating piece of card stock to create the colored layers for the card fronts. Below is the template with measurements. Again it starts with an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of colored card stock. Each piece measures 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".
