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).

    I did texture the largest White layer with the Damask Designs folder; which is included in the Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here.  All of these items are included in the Suite BOGO sale this month.  Buy any Suite item and get the second at half off.  What a great deal; especially if you buy either two suites or two bundles.  See all of the Suite products here.

  • The Arches dies are back in stock! An Arched Wishes easy card idea in a fresh color combo

    I created this cute card for a Demo swap I participated in.  

    Arched Acres disney. Save

    The Arched Wishes stamp set coordinates with the Arches dies which are back in stock.  See the stamp set here and the Arches dies here.  

    My colors include Petunia Pop with Summer Splash and the new Secret Sea. I love them together!  

    This stamp set is super fun and includes great celebration images. 

    Arched acres disney Save

    Do you see how it's a bit of a fun fold?  Basically the Secret Sea back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/4" and the Petunia Pop is 4" X 10 1/2" and the card layer that flips up. Score it at 5 1/4" and add to the larger layer.  

    Technique Tip: If you're wondering how I colored the cupcake I used designer series paper for both the liner and the frosting. This is called paper piecing – where you stamp the image onto DSP and fussy cut it out.

    Check out the confetti on the frosting.  I used the Loose Shaker elements seen here. Simply add a tiny dot of liquid glue and drop the sparkle on top!
