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.

    I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place.  She has a tutorial for it here.  Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card.  So the finished size may be different.

    Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" .  She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

    I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

    Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here!   I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too.  It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters!
