Good morning, crafty friends. I asked if you wanted a video on this technique, and the answer was a resounding YES, so here it is! Today’s Joseph’s Coat Technique with Embossing Folders | Embossing Folder Magic #5 showcases the Dotty Contour Embossing Folder and the Dewdrop Daisy Die.
The true Joseph’s Coat technique uses a solid image stamp and clear heat embossing, so this version is more of a cross between that classic technique and the Blackout Technique. It’s quicker, easier, and skips the heat embossing mess — haha!
Scroll down for the step-by-step instructions.

How to create the Embossed Joseph’s Coat Technique with Embossing Folders :
Create the card front:
For the first two cards, you can find the written instructions in THIS BLOG POST for the written instructions. Today’s card uses the same Embossed Joseph’s Coat Technique, but with a slightly different design.
Start with a panel of white cardstock trimmed to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. Using ink blending brushes, randomly apply Sprout, Orchid and Marine ink until the entire surface is covered.
Next, emboss the panel with the Dotty Contour Embossing Folder, making sure the raised embossed dots are on the inked side of the cardstock.
Drag the Iris ink pad directly over the embossed surface. This darkens the background and the raised dots while allowing the original blended colors to peek through around the embossed design, creating the beautiful Embossed Joseph’s Coat Technique. I think it looks a bit like colorful squiggly neon lights.
Attach the finished panel to the front of an A2-sized, side-folding white card base.
Create the Frame:
Use the center two dies from the Embossed Squovals to die cut a Lavender frame. Attach it to the center of the card front with foam squares.
Die cut the Flowers:
Die cut the Dewdrop Daisy twice from White and Green Apple cardstock. Assemble the flowers, then attach them top right and bottom left corners of the frame. Add two leaves beside each flower.
Finally, die cut the sentiment from the extra panel and the shadow from white cardstock. Layer them together and attach the sentiment to the center of the frame with foam squares.
