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.

  • Curvy Christmas; paired with the Curvy Dies

    I've always loved the look of curves and swirls so these new Curvy Celebrations products are right up my alley.  I've made so many projects I could share one each day for weeks! 

    QUITE CURVY VARIETY BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    Here's one of my favorites.

    Curvy Christmas navy Save

    See what I mean?  The curves make this project 'stand out' special.

    My colors are Night of Navy, Sahara Sand and White.  The designer paper is from the new Classic Christmas 6 X 6" pack seen here.  This is only available through January 4th or while supplies last.  

    The same is true for the Curvy Christmas stamp set seen here.  It will not be in the upcoming catalog so get it now while you can. 

    Curvy Christmas navy Save

    As you can see I cut two pieces of Navy card stock using the dotted curved die.  I heat embossed the greeting and the long stars image.  I die-cut two White sprigs from the same Curvy Dies and added them with a double Linen Thread bow.  

    Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products! 

    I chose to get it all at once with the entire Curvy Celebrations bundle seen here.  

    Here are some sneak peaks of the projects in the free PDF:
