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.

Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)

November 27, 2020

Do you normally shop on Black Friday? Online or in the stores? I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year! That's my plan anyway.

I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping. Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift.

All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands!

And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too!

Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer!

I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors.

If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US. They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday. Here are the cards we're making:

It's all about the trees this time! I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.

Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am. Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come. You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2020

I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today! I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to. It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions!

I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week. I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family.

She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here. You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both!

If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge. I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess. What's your guess??

Save

As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets! That's 176% over their predicted amount! Whoop! I'm thrilled with how you all like it!
