Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Forever Fern Joseph's Coat card

Today's card features the versatile Stampin' Up! Forever Fern stamp set and co-ordinating Forever Flourishing dies. This set can be used for many occasions.

To create the background of the card, I used the Joseph's Coat technique to get this effect. It requires:

• Randomly inking a white piece of card stock in your favourite colours. I used an assortment of Stampin' Up! green ink pads for my background.
• Stamp the Forever Fern images in Versamark ink, cover them with clear embossing powder and then heat set using your Heat Tool.
• Cover the whole card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink by swiping the ink pad across the card stock.
• Now the magic begins - using a piece of kitchen towel, wipe over the card stock.  The black ink will be removed from the clear heat embossed images and they will shine through the black background.

You then decorate the card to suit the occasion.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin Up Treasured Medallions card

Sadly the Stampin' Up! Treasured Medallion stamp set is retiring next week and I've certainly enjoyed creating cards with it.

For this version I coloured the images using my Stampin Blends alcohol markers.

You may remember the black & pink version above that I made earlier this year.  While the stamped design is identical to today's card, using different techniques can give a completely different look to your card.  So don't be afraid to copy one of your previous designs and use a different technique to change its overall look.

Which do you prefer?  The black & pink Joseph's coat technique or white Stampin Blends alcohol marker coloured one?

The products used are available from my online store if you live in Australia and are also listed below. Online papercrafting classes are available for Australian residents and new classes are released each month.  Please contact me if you're interested in learning papercrafting.

Treasured Medallion card

As many of my crafty friends know, I do like creating projects with medallion or mandala stamps.  This card is no exception and it features the Stampin' Up! Treasured Medallion stamp set.

I used the Joseph's Coat technique to get this effect and the bright colours contrast so well with the black background. I also added some sequins to give it some extra shine too. If you'd like to learn this technique, I'll be teaching it in my April 2021 class.
