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).

Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)

November 27, 2020

Do you normally shop on Black Friday? Online or in the stores? I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year! That's my plan anyway.

I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping. Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift.

All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands!

And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too!

Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer!

Save

I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors.

If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US. They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday. Here are the cards we're making:

Save

It's all about the trees this time! I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.

Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am. Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come. You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2020

I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today! I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to. It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions!

I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week. I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family.

Save

She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here. You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both!

If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge. I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess. What's your guess??

Save

As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets! That's 176% over their predicted amount! Whoop! I'm thrilled with how you all like it!
