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

April 24, 2024

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

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:

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

Save

First I stamped using Versamark ink onto White card stock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
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!
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).

Here’s the card I featured on last week’s video. We made it at my February card clubs locally and it was a big hit!

Save

My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie & Basic Beige. There are two different pieces of the designer paper that’s called Nature Walk and can be seen here.

There are lots of pieces and extra elements to this card. It was super fun to put together. That neat striped embossing folder on the extra Lost Lagoon layer is called Lovely Stripes and can be seen here. It’s one of my new favorites.

This card is kept closed by the narrow ‘flap’ attached to the right side of the card. I added a small triangle to the DSP layer to tuck the corner into. Works great To hold that flap down!

Save

The flap is adhered ‘underneath’ the DSP layer inside the card. *note the other embossing folder used on the card above. It’s called Stone & Vine and is also a deeply textured folder seen here.

There are many, many details on this card I want to highlight. Here goes:
- The die-cut leaves and ‘wood’ piece under the greeting are from the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.
- The die-cut leaves are cut out from our two-sided card stock. I love that you can choose the light or the dark side which gives more color choices!
- I added Pecan Pie ink to that wood die-cut with a blending brush.
- The greeting is from the Three Banner punch bundle seen here.
I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click to see it.
