Technique Tuesday: Emboss with Detailed Dies | Stampin' Up! Two Tone Flora Card + Video Tutorial

I find large, detailed dies to be intimidating. I know that sounds silly, but sometimes it just feels like a lot of work to poke out all of the pieces and fuss with gluing it done. When I sat down to create card with the new Two Tone Flora bundle, I opted to skip the die cutting and instead, use the large die to create an embossed background with the Silicone Craft Mat!

Have you tried this technique before? It works with ANY detailed die! From bottom to top, here is the "sandwich" to put through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine: Platform Base (1) [without Die Plate (2)], Cutting Plate (3), Silicone Craft Sheet, Cardstock, Die (cutting edge facing down against the paper), Cutting Plate (3).

Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas video from December to see this technique in action and watch me create this Two-Tone Flora card:

Here are a couple more card ideas created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists for the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. The Concept Artist created the background on the first card by using Stampin' Spritzers to spray color against a die cut and then removed the die cut (save to use on another card).
