More Colorful Seasons - Joseph's Coat for Winter

Hi there and Happy Saturday! Can you believe it's September already? Where did this summer go? I think I must have missed something because it seems it just started and it's already all over. Good thing I love Fall too, I'm just not a big fan of Winter, except I do love stamped Winters!

I've been having so much fun playing the the Joseph's Coat technique, and from the looks of all the amazing projects being posted over on my FB page, so are you! It really is a fun technique that packs a really big punch and WOW! And this time did't disappoint either. This time around, I decided to play with the snowflakes in this same stamp set, Colorful Seasons. This stamp set is one of my top picks from the Annual catalog because it will carry you through every season. So, if you're stamping on a budget, you will get a lot of bang for your stamping buck with this set.


Supplies for this card are listed and linked below. The card base is Night of Navy, cut 8.5" x 5.5" scored and folded at 4.25"; the Balmy Blue is cut 5.25" x 4" and the Whisper White is cut 5" x 3.75" and sponged with Balmy Blue ink, Pool Party ink and Night of Navy ink. 

I then prepped the piece with the Embossing Buddy and randomly stamped the 2 snowflake images with the Versamark ink and embossed with the clear embossing powder. I then used the sponge Brayer and coated the entire piece with Night of Navy ink and watched the snowflakes emerge beautifully! I then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy on the Balmy Blue and cut it out using the Stitched Labels Framelits and attached it to the card front using the Whisper White 1/8" Sheer ribbon. 

I so glad you have been enjoying the Joseph's Coat technique. I hope you continue to play around with it and experiment with other colors. Be sure to share, I LOVE seeing your results.

The Winter Solstice and the Tin of Tags

Happy Tuesday everyone. Can you believe it's almost Christmas? And tomorrow kicks off the official 1st day of winter, known as the Winter Solstice; which means tomorrow is the shortest day of the year in terms of sunlight; which means after tomorrow, we will begin to gain daylight rather than lose it! (insert happy face)

Today, I would like to share a card with you in honor of the Winter Solstice. It uses one of my favorite sets from the Holiday Catalog, Tin of Tags. I just love the versatility of this set. Although it was intended for making gift tags, is certainly steps out into the card making world very easily.
I started with a card base from Whisper White cut standard at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4", I then cut a piece of Marina Mist cardstock 5 1/4" x 4" and a piece of Whisper White 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"  I secured the piece of Whisper White to my desk with some old Washi and layed the circles mask from the Seasonal Decorative Masks over it also using Washi (both the stamp set and the masks are currently on the End of Year Closeout!!) Then, using a clean sponge dauber, I applied the retired Dazzling Details glitter glue over the mask (any clear glitter glue will work for this) this created a "snowy" look. I tried to capture the beauty in the photos but just couldn't ...this is the best I could do. I removed the mask and allowed the glue to dry. Once dry, I stamped the snowflake and sentiment, both from the Tin of Tags stamp set, in Marina Mist ink. I then layered it onto the Marina Mist cardstock piece and finally layered it onto the card base using Fast Fuse.
I hope you enjoyed my Winter Solstice card. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. In the meantime, I wish you all a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
Katrina
