Global Stampin' Video Hop February 2023 - EMBOSSING FOLDERS - How To Emphasize The Design With Color

It is time for another tutorial for the Global Stampin’ Video Hop on YouTube. Each month on the fourth Friday Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from around the world come together and share their projects based on a monthly theme. February’s Theme is – Embossing Folders. I am so excited to see what everyone creates.


For my card today, I wanted to share with you one way you can add color to the texture created from Embossing Folders. There are many ways to add color, this is just one way. For this technique I used the Painted Posies 3DEmbossing Folder with Sponge Daubers to apply the ink which gives a soft look to the texture.


I hope you are inspired today with all the fun techniques you see while jumping from video to video and make something fun. We would love to see what you come up with you can tag me @creativechelsey in any social media post.

Make sure to check out what everyone makes for this monthly Video Hop. You can start with my video, I have linked it below. You can find the next video at the top of the video’s description on YouTube. Have fun!

Product List

Here are the dimensions and pieces you will need to create this set of cards:

Balmy Blue Cardbases – (2) 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Basic White Cardstock – 6” x 6” (will cut down to get two 3” x 5 ½”) & 3/8” strips for greeting

Flowers & More DSP – (4) ½” x 5 ½” strips

Vellum Cardstock – (2) 1 ½” Circle

Silver Thread – (2) 16”


1- Place the 6” x 6” Basic White Cardstock inside your embossing folder. I used the Painted Posies 3D Folder. Run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

2- Add ink to the tip of your Sponge Dauber and gently rub or tap the texture created by the embossing folder. I used Garden Green ink for the leaves and Gorgeous Grape & Rich Razzleberry for the flowers.


3- Cut the embossed paper in half to 3” x 5 ½”. You should have two pieces the extra same size.

4- If you want add a little color to the top & sides with a Blending Brush & Balmy Blue ink.


5- Add pattern paper to the left & right sides. I used a Balmy Blue stripe pattern from the Flowers & More DSP. Cut it into ½” x 5 ½” strips and adhere to the sides with about ¼” showing.

6- Add everything to the center of your cardbase.


7- Stamp your greeting on Basic White Cardstock in a coordinating color. I used greetings from the Best Family Ever Stamp Set on 3/8” strips with Gorgeous Grape Ink. Cut into smaller sections and adhere to the center of a 1 ½” Vellum Circle.


8- Add some adhesive to the bottom right area on the cardbase. Wrap 16” of silver thread back and forth to create a double faux bow.


9- Place dimensionals behind the greetings on the vellum circle and add over the center of the bow.

10- Add some embellishments. I used some Opal Rounds.

All Done!

#tgifc408 Sale-A-Bration Challenge - How I made this Beautiful Floral Card

Are you ready for another TGIF Challenge. This week is all about SALE-A-BRATION!

There are just a couple weeks left to celebrate SALE-A-BRATION and get exclusive free products. One of these products is the beautiful FAVORED FLOWERS DESGINER SERIES PAPER PACK. I love the dark colors paired with soft spring colors like Fresh Freesia and Petal Pink.


I also love the beautiful bold floral images; they are super detailed and easily make any project gorgeous. For this card I fussy cut out some of the purple flowers and layered them over the geometric pattern in the same purple color. Then added the soft Petal Pink geometric pattern to the back to lighted up the card.


If you don’t have this paper, you should get it. It is free now until Feb 28 with any $50 order from Stampin’ Up! – Shop from my online store - https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2042902



Don’t miss out on being inspired by the other designers – head over to TGIF Challenges Blog - https://tgifchallenges.blogspot.com/2023/02/tgifc408-sale-bration-challenge.html

This was such a fun card to create. I hope you play along with this week’s TGIF Challenge and share your creation on the blog. To participate upload it to the TGIF blog post using the Linky Tool at the bottom. See the guidelines on the TGIF post.

Product List

1- Begin by fussy cutting out some flowers from the DSP. I used flowers along the edges since I knew I would add them to the edge of the rectangle on my card. It is a good way to use those partial images.

2- Layer the flowers on a coordinating piece of DSP (2 ½” x 4 ½”) with dimensionals. Leave an area open for your greeting.

3- Add any coordinating strips of paper you want to the rectangle. I used a Fresh Freesia DSP strip (½” x 4 ½”).

4- Add a simple pattern paper from the pack to the front of the cardbase. I used a piece that was 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” on a Basic Black Cardbase.

5- Add the rectangle with the flowers to the right side of the cardbase with dimensionals.

6- Stamp your greeting on coordinating cardstock. I used Basic Black Cardstock and White Embossing Powder. Cut it out with a circle from the Layering Circle Dies.

7- On the back of the greeting add some ribbon in a faux bow. I used both the Fresh Freesia & Evening Evergreen Ribbons cut to 12”. Then cut them the long way to make them skinnier and wrapped them back and forth together on the back of the circle. Add the greeting to the open area with dimensionals.

8- Add any embellishments. I used three Fresh Freesia Gems from the Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems.

All Done!
