Here you can see the products that inspired today’s tutorial. It includes the Textured Notes stamp and die set, the Botanical Textures designer paper, the Mini Corrugated embossing folder, and some ribbon and gems.

Now let’s take a look at ways you can create texture on your projects!

Texture Techniques

In the video tutorial, I created three different cards with several techniques on each one. The first one has added texture using designer paper, layers, crumpling, splatters, stamps, and distressed edges that I created using scissors.

The next card includes embossing paste, textural stamps, and a die cut I created with foam adhesive sheets.

This last card uses embossing, sanding the paper, blending on top of the embossing, dimensionals, and ribbon.
