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: 

Joseph's Coat technique 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.

    Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.  

    Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  Look at her amazing coloring!

    The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog.  She used Blends markers for her coloring.  Love that face!

    The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog.  The circles are from the Layering Circles dies. 

    It's also a fun fold 'latch' card!  Here's the inside view:

    Measurements:

    • DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
    • White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

    In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.

    Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back!  I just love her playful circles layout!

    She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green.  She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.  

    The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!  


    Sept Candace Bewitching Save

    Measurements:

    • Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border 
    • White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
    • Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!

    I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live.  It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!  

    Spooky Treats box Save

    I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received.  It's called Spooky Treats.  I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit.  I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

    The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

    Here are the measurements: 

    • Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
    • Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
    • DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”

    For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie.  The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.
