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).
