Joseph’s Coat

Leave a reply

If you follow my blog, and I hope you do, you know that this week I’m exploring the Joseph’s Coat technique.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Joseph's Coat - Blossoms in Bloom - Stitched Rectangle Dies

As before, you start by covering a piece of cardstock in whatever colours you like.  This time I applied Just Jade, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape and Magenta Madness with sponge daubers. Leave it to get really dry.

Next grab a stamp set and using versamark, stamp on the card and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat. The stamp set on this card is the Blossoms in Bloom which I stamped using my stamparatus. This was mostly because I couldn’t find my I block (yes, my craft room really needs a tidy!) but it was useful to ensure that I got good coverage.

When the embossing was dry, I covered the card in Pretty Peacock. Next I used a paper towel to wipe off the colour on the raised images and that lets the colours shine through.

I added a Gorgeous Grape layer as a mat and mounted this onto a Pretty Peacock card base. The sentiment is also from Blossoms in Bloom and cut out with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

I’ll be demonstrating three cards made with the Joseph’s Coat technique on Sunday on Facebook Live at 11am EST and also will upload that to YouTube.

Joseph’s Coat

2 Replies

The week I’m exploring a new to me technique – the Joseph’s Coat technique. It can produce stunningly beautiful cards – and also an unholy mess. I’ve done both!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Joseph's Coat - Dandelion Wishes

You start by covering a piece of cardstock in whatever colours you like.  Here I used Just Jade, bermuda bay , pretty peacock and shaded spruce with sponge daubers, but you could use sponges if you prefer. Leave it to get really dry. I spent the time grabbing different colors and making  layers for other cards.

Next grab a stamp set and using versamark, stamp on the card and then sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat. This example is using the Dandelion Wishes stamp set. Make sure that this is dry and then grab a dark ink pad – I used tuxedo black memento – and completely cover the layer. Grab a paper towel and wipe off the colour on the raised images and you’ll see the colours shine through.

I added a Just Jade layer as a mat and mounted this onto a basic black cardbase. The sentiment was from Forever Fern and cut out with the Stitched Nested labels dies.

You can see where the name of the technique comes from – Joseph’s coat of many colors.

Stitched Triangles Dies

Leave a reply

The Right Triangle bundle consists of the Right Triangle stamp set and the Stitched Triangles Dies. I decided to focus just on the dies today.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Stitched Triangles Dies - Timeless Tulips

I took one of the Stitched Triangles dies – the second smallest isoceles triangle – and die cut soft seafoam and garden green card stock. Then I cut out some triangles from the Forever Greenery DSP.

Since it can be hard to get something like this straight, I glued them onto a piece of whisper white card stock that was just slightly larger than needed and then trimmed it down. I then matted it with a larger piece of whisper white. All that was left was the sentiment which comes from the Timeless Tulips set and to then position the triangles above it. There was an extra garden green triangle already cut out so I popped it up.

This card, and the two before it, will be showcased on my Facebook Live this morning at 11am EST

The Right Triangle

Leave a reply

Here’s the second card this week highlighting the Right Triangle stamp set. This time I’m using just the stamp set.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Right Triangle bundle - Peaceful Moments - Stitched so sweetly Dies

I used just two of Wednesday’s colors, just jade and gorgeous grape, for this card. Being unable to find my biggest block, I used the stamparatus to stamp the really large triangles. After that I stamped the little tulips up the diagonal. Since The Right Triangle set doesn’t have any sentiments, I again  reached Peaceful Moments. This time I used the Stitched so Sweetly dies.

I’ll be demonstrating the three cards made this week using The Right Triangle bundle on my usual Facebook live at 11am on Sunday. Come and join me and have a chance to win something merely by sharing my Live.

The Right Triangle bundle

Leave a reply

The product that I’m showing this week is the Right Triangle bundle which is pretty much as you’d expect. There are different sizes of right angled triangles with various patterns.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Right Triangle bundle - Peaceful Moments - Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

Using a fun collection of colors, namely bermuda bay, just jade and gorgeous grape I stamped all of the patterns. Don’t you think that these bright colors look wonderful together? The dies are stitched which matches the stitched shapes framelits die that I used to cut out the sentiment. The sentiment comes from Peaceful Moments which I seem to be using a lot as my default set for sentiments.

You could also use The Right Triangle bundle to cut out triangles from DSP – I’ll have a go at that this week too.
