Happy Friday, y’all! Don’t you love how fast we get back to a weekend on these short weeks!? Hope you have something fun planned!
My card today is a bit of a throwback – to a layout I just used and to an older coloring technique that I have NOT visited in a while. It’s called Joseph’s Coat and I love it. It’s a technique that worked perfectly with the Magnolia Mood stamp set to create a beautiful thank you card. Take a look-see:
I started with a Basic Black card base. I placed the two smaller floral images from Magnolia Mood on a single block and then stamped all over the front AND the inside panel in Whisper White ink. This gorgeous stamp set – and it’s bundled dies – will be available to customers on 5 March in the Online Exclusives section of the Online Store!
Remember – the Whisper White ink takes an extra little bit to dry, so I set the card base aside while I worked on the rest of the card.
Using Blending Brushes, I added random splotches of Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry and Granny Apple Green ink to a piece of Basic White cardstock. I made sure each splotch was pretty saturated with color.
With the panel covered, I used the low setting on my Heat Tool to dry the ink REALLY WELL. This is really important – the ink needs to be really dry, y’all! Then I rubbed it with my Embossing Buddy. Just to be safe.
I inked the large floral from Magnolia Mood in Versamark Ink and stamped it on the panel. Then I sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder.
I made SURE there was no excess embossing powder (even used a little paint brush….) and heat set the powder with the high setting of my Heat Tool.
When the embossing was totally dry, I used a Blending Brush to cover the entire panel with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added a lot of ink – the special sauce on this technique is a DARK panel.
I used a paper towel to wipe all the ink from the embossed image – revealing the gorgeous colors below! 😎. Something fun about Joseph’s Coat is that no two cards will be completely alike!
Using the Second-from-Largest Deckled Rectangle die, I cut the image – cheating it towards the LEFT side of the die cut. I also used the same die to cut out a Flirty Flamingo mat.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the mat to the card front and then popped the art image over top with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals. Note: you can see that the whole thing is aligned more on the left side of the card front – versus centered – and that was on purpose!
I tied a simple bow with two lengths of white Baker’s Twine and used a little Liquid Glue to adhere it to the front of the card base – tucked right in the corner of the two rectangle die cuts.
On a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock, I stamped the Magnolia Mood sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out with the Next-to-Smallest Deckled Rectangle. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some green Adhesive-backed Shiny Sequins (coming on 5 March in the Online Exclusives) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I used a Blending Brush to color one of the smaller Magnolia Mood flowers in Flirty Flamingo and stamped it in the corner of a Basic White panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Flirty Flamingo mat and into the card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Magnolia Mood image in Flirty Flamingo on the front…
…and the other small floral on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well? What do you think of the Joseph’s Coat technique? I think it’s gorgeous with this new Magnolia Mood set – but…I bet you can ALSO think of some other sets and images that would be wunnermus!! And – don’t miss out on chances to stamp black cardstock with pretty images in WHITE! So COOL!!
I hope you like!

An Update on Our Basics Embossing Powders
Y’all may have noticed that the Basics Embossing Powders (Item #155554) pack is no longer available in the Online Store. So – I figured I’d let you know the scoop!
A while back, Stampin’ Up! made the decision to switch manufacturers of our Basics Embossing Powders. When they started it, it looked like they’d have plenty of inventory to last through the end of the 2023–2024 Annual Catalog sales period. BUT – y’all have been REALLY LOVING the powders – and we sold out WAY faster than anticipated.
Since we couldn’t re-stock….the end result, is the discontinuation of item 155554.
The good news is – they’ll re-introduce the Basic Embossing Powders in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog (under a new item number).
The BAD NEWS IS…. unfortunately – they anticipate that the new embossing powders will not arrive until Fall. Which means – you’ll see the powders in the new catalog when it comes out in May…. but you won’t be able to purchase them until they arrive.
Sorry for the bummer news and….thanks for being patient with us!!

Such a pretty card!! That image is perfect for this technique and I love the subtle stamping on the background too! Pretty sunset too! It’s finally starting to stay light past 4:30 here…must mean that spring is on the way! 🙂
I know – the later sunset is the best part for me! I like long days and I cannot lie! Thanks, Amy! 🙂
I’m not sure which is prettier, the card or the sunset. Probably leaning toward the sunset, but that Joseph’s coat technique is gorgeous. I especially like the white inked background.
I wouldn’t have been TOO surprised to discover that you were not the one taking the photo! 🙂
LOL! He IS talented, so… one never really knows! Thanks, Julie! 🙂
Gorgeous card! You had me at Flirty Flamingo….one of my favs 😁 Wow-what a sunset!!! I hope you and Finny savored the moment.
We did. Althogh – he was sorta busy sniffing and…stuff! ;). Thanks, Judi! 🙂
Great card…and love the sunset. Was thinking the Finn thumbs might have become opposable. Probably not…and just as well!
Yes – that would be…bad. Very bad! LOL! Thanks, Mom! 🙂
Such a fun technique, you explained it perfectly! I’ll definitely be giving this a try.
Your sunset photo is stunning and inspiration for a card!
Thanks so much, Pat – and yes, that sunset would be beautiful in cardstock and ink! 🙂
