Stampin' Up! Dahlia Days Bundle - How To Create An Embossed Background With A Detailed Die

Hello my crafting friends,

Today I would like to share with you these two beautiful springtime cards I created for Stampin’ Up!’s Artisan Design Team Showcase in March 2022. I was asked to use the Dahlia Days Bundle in the new January – June 2022 Mini Catalog.


These cards use a lot of tips & tricks and I share them all in the video so make sure to watch. One thing I will be sharing is how to use a detailed die to create an embossed look on cardstock. I used this on the Magenta Madness Cardstock to add a subtle texture. I love how easy it is and how it opens up so many possibilities.

1- Begin stamping the Dahlia image in So Saffron. Then tap Crushed Curry with a sponge dauber randomly onto the stamp. Stamp. Repeat 2 more times for each flower.

2- Next stamp the same image in So Saffron and add Magenta Madness with a sponge dauber randomly and stamp. Repeat 2 more times for one flower. You can clean your stamps between stamping so you don’t mix colors.

3- Now ink the same image in Blushing Bride and add Magenta Madness with a sponge dauber randomly and stamp. Repeat 2 more times for the flower. Repeat for a second flower.

4- Now ink the image in Blushing Bride and add Crushed Curry with a sponge dauber to the image. Stamp. Repeat 2 more times for one flower. Repeat for a second flower. You can clean your stamps between stamping so you don’t mix colors.


5- Do the same technique with the three-leaf image. I inked up the image in Just Jade and add Evening Evergreen with a sponge dauber. Repeat 2 more times.

6- Stamp the fern image in Just Jade 5-6 times.


7- Cut out with coordinating dies. From each set of three Dahlia images only cut one image using the die cut. Cut out all the leaves & ferns with coordinating dies.


8- From the other stamped Dahlia, fussy cut one to the middle section of the petals, fussy cut the other to the smallest petals. Use a Bone Folder to curl all three layers. Layer flowers of the same color on top of one another, with the medium size over the full size, then the smallest on the top.



Card #1 – So Saffron

1- Begin by placing the Layering Designs Vellum on the So Saffron Cardbase. Do not adhere it yet. Adhere the flowers to the vellum. I did Blushing Bride with Crushed Curry Flower near the top, So Saffron with Crushed Curry in the middle, So Saffron with Magenta Madness below center, and Blushing Bride with Magenta Madness at the bottom. Create a backwards “S” curve with the flowers leaving a space in the center for the greeting.


2- Stamp the greeting in Evening Evergreen on Basic White Cardstock. Use the large label die with the flower from the Detailed Dahlias Dies to cut out. Place the greeting right in the center of the label. Use the partial die cutting technique to change the shape of the label. See video for detailed steps.


3- Add the greeting to the center of the vellum with dimensionals.

4- Add the fern images behind the vellum near the flowers and greeting.


5- Then add adhesive to the back of the vellum behind the other elements so it doesn’t show. Add to the center of the cardbase.

6- Add a large Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of each flower and some smaller ones around the greeting.

All Done 



Card #2 – Blushing Bride

1- Create an embossed look with a die by using your platform 1, one clear plate 3, your silicone craft sheet, then the Polished Pink cardstock and large detailed die, and last the other clear plate 3. Run through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.


2- Cut about 8” of the White Frayed Ribbon and fold in half. Lay it on the Polished Pink piece so the fold sits at the top of the cardstock on the right side. Use a stapler to hold in place about 1” from the fold. Then take a pair of scrap fabric scissors and cut the ends at an angle.


3- Add another Layering Detailed Designs Vellum piece to the center of the Blushing Bride Cardbase. Layer the Mother of Pearl Paper behind the Polished Pink Cardstock and add both to the center of the card.


4- Layer the Blushing Bride with Crushed Curry over the staple on the ribbon. I used liquid adhesive to make a strong bond with the ribbon & paper. Then add the Blushing Bride with Magenta Madness with a dimensional to the left of the ribbon and about center on the card.

5- Then tuck the three-leaf images around the flowers and one near the bottom left corner of the Polished Pink piece.


6- Stamp your greeting in Evening Evergreen on Basic White Cardstock. Use the same large label die vertically to cut it out. Use the partial die cutting technique to get a nice size to fit the greeting. See video for detailed instructions. Add it to the bottom left corner with a dimensional.


7- Add a large Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of each flower and some smaller ones around the greeting.

All Done!

Waves Of The Ocean - Product Suite Collection by Stampin' Up -PLUS- Paper Tearing & Reverse Stamping

Hello my crafting friends,

Today I would like to share with you these two beautiful cards created with Stampin’ Up! Waves Of The Ocean Product Collection. These products are early release from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. However, not all products I am sharing today will be available in the catalog – only the Stamp Set & Dies. The other products have limited supply and may sell out before May 2nd. These cards show two different ways you can use ripped pattern paper to create layers to add interest to your cards. As well as, how to create a reversed stamped image using a Stamparatus and Silicone Craft Sheet. I made these cards as part of the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team and they have been shared on their Facebook & Instagram pages along with the other projects made by my teammates.


I love how the first card uses the Blue Foil Sheets to give the waves a fun shiny element and the Vellum Cardstock help it stand apart from the pattern paper in the background.

This second card uses more patterns from the Waves Of The Ocean Designer Series Paper in a fun way to showcase all the beautiful colors. You could easily make this type of card using so many different pattern papers. If you do, I would love to see what you create, please tag me in any social media post using @creativechelsey or #creativechelsey.

Card #1

1- Begin by adding Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Foil Sheet. Run the Waves Dies through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

2- Trace the outline of the same Wave Die on to Vellum. Fussy Cut out. Erase any pencil lines

3- Add the Foil Wave to the Vellum Wave. Repeat steps 1-3 for more waves.


4- Choose a DSP Pattern and cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. Distress the edges with paper snips or bone folder. Adhere at a slight angle to the front of your cardbase.

5- Layer two waves in the middle of the cardbase. I added the adhesive to the bottom edge since that area will be covered with other elements. The second wave should be below the first and to the left a little. Trim off the overhang to the edge of the card. Tack down any foil edges that need it along the edge of the card.

6- Choose two other DSP patterns cut one to 1 ½” x 4” and the other to 1” x 4”. Tear each piece along one edge and distress the other edges. Layer the pieces and adhere below the waves.


7- Stamp your greeting in Night of Navy ink and cut out with one of the labels from the coordinating die set. Add below the waves with dimensionals.

8- You can also stamp some of the birds in Night of Navy in the top right corner if you would like.

All Done!


Card #2

1- Begin by adding Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Foil Sheet. Run the Waves Dies through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

2- Trace the outline of the same Wave Die on to Vellum. Fussy Cut out. Erase any pencil lines

3- Add the Foil Wave to the Vellum Wave.

4- Cut 8 – 1 ½” x 4” pieces of DSP. Tear one long edge of 7 strips. Keep one strip for the bottom without any tearing. Layer together on the front of the cardbase. Start at the bottom of the cardbase with the one that has not been torn. Keep an even space around the sides and bottom. Then layer and keep them even along the sides as they go up the card.


5- Cut out a large circle with the Circle Dies from Pool Party Cardstock. Add a darker ink color to the edges with a blending brush. I used Coastal Cabana.


6- Layer the Wave over the circle and the place the same size circle die over the wave. Line up the cardstock circle and circle die and use washi tape to keep the wave in place. Cut the wave to the same circle. Adhere the wave to the circle but leave the top of the wave unadhered.


7- Cut out both clouds and the detail using adhesive sheets. Add a little blue with the same Blending Brush to the bottom of the clouds. Add the detail over the bottom of the clouds. Place these behind the wave on the right side of the circle.

8- Adhere the circle with dimensionals a little higher than center of the cardbase.


9- Use a Stamparatus and a silicone craft sheet to create a reverse image of the pelican stamp. Stamp it in Memento black ink onto the silicone craft sheet. Lay a piece of cardstock over the stamped image and stamp again. Cut out with coordinating die. See video for detail instruction.


10- Add a little color to the bird with Stampin’ Blend Markers. I used Light Calypso coral at the tip of the beak, blend with Dark So Saffron. Then add a little shadow with light smoky slate. Cut off the bottom of the post. Add to the card with a dimensional on the left side of the circle.


11- Stamp your greeting in Memento Black ink  and cut out with coordinating die from the set. Add it below the wave. Then add some of the Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.
