See how the Josephs Coat Technique is done; with video & free project sheet

Here's another project made on last week's Live video; it's the Josephs Coat technique using the new, upcoming Leaf Collection stamp.  

Leaf Collection Josephs coat Save

That greeting stamp & scalloped oval die-cut are from the new Unbounded Love bundle from the upcoming 2024 Annual Catalog. I showed how to do this technique in the video here.  I also have a free project sheet with directions. 

Here are the steps:

  1. Sponge ink all over a neutral piece of card stock – Pretty Peacock, new Summer Splash and lastly Granny Apple Green. 
  2. Wipe off any excess ink with a tissue to remove moisture.  Swipe with an embossing buddy.
  3. Ink your stamp in Versamark ink. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder.  
  4. Use a water-based ink pad like Memento Black and rub or tap the ink over it all.  This is called 'Direct to Paper'. 
  5. With a damp tissue or paper towel, wipe off excess ink from the embossed area. It will not stay on the embossed area. 
  6. Finish your card as you'd like.

I inked the stamp again in a few colors – Granny Apple Green & Summer Splash, and fussy cut some leaves out for accents. Dies used above include Something Fancy & Stylish Shapes. 

The card below features an emboss resist technique.  Same colors but the steps are different. 

Leaf Collection Emboss resist Save

  1. First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. 
  2. Then I added ink over the clear embossing; using Blending Brushes. Inks include: Summer Splash, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.  *This must be water-based ink!
  3. Use a damp tissue or paper towel to wipe off excess ink that will not stick to the embossed areas. Done! 

The greeting is from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set (online exclusive) and the tags are from the Something Fancy dies (carrying over).

  • Quick & Easy Shaker card with free project sheet & video

    On last week's video I created two types of shaker cards. Today's project is the easy version. It uses one of our A2 size clear envelopes to hold the shaker pieces.

    Snowy Scenes shaker card Save

    I used the Snowy Scenes designer series paper seen here.  It fits perfectly into one of our clear envelopes seen here. After I add the loose shaker pieces on top of the DSP I fold the envelope over and seal it in the back before adding it to a cardstock layer. It's so easy!

    My colors are Real Red with Garden Green.  I heat embossed the greeting from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The ribbon is our sheer silver ribbon from the Annual catalog. The shaker pieces include the loose White snowflakes in the Holiday catalog along with two other types of retired loose sequins.  

    Below is a photo of both shaker cards I shared in the video below.

  • Holiday Shaker card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

    I shared these super fun shaker cards on last week's video. They were one of our November card club projects. 

    Snowy Wonder Nov club Save

    The colors include Pool Party, White & Real Red.  The penguin and tree were fussy cut but some of the dies in the Snowy Wonder bundle cut out the printed elements from the Snowy Scenes designer paper. The greeting die are from the Countryside Corners dies. 

    Below you can see how you assemble the shaker card. We used the Pool Party window layer to position the snowman die-cut on the Red card base. Then we stamped the Pool Party layer with snowflakes. Next lay your shaker elements on that as shown below.

    Add the window sheet to the back of your window, then add our Adhesive Strips close to the opening; do not leave any gaps! Add a few supporting adhesive strips as well.  Then remove the paper backing from the strips and turn it over and add over the snowman layer matching the window with the snowman die-cut. Press down well to get a good seal.  Shake!

    My shaker bits include retired loose sequins and the White Loose Snowflakes available here.  We added a few to the front of the card as well.

    The stamped elements are all from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The snow globe dies are wonderful and match the two different designer paper snow globes wonderfully!
