Add Some Texture for Cardz 4 Guyz #293
Welcome to a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz! For challenge # 293, Melanie has chosen the theme of adding texture. I added texture to almost every piece of paper on this card. Fun! When you finish here, I hope you will check out the cards from the rest of the design team members. Each one is unique and awesome!
Here’s my textured card:
What I Used and What I Did:
This card took almost no time to create, even with all the dry embossing. Therefore, the measurements and directions will be short and sweet.
- The Misty Moonlight base measures 5-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
- I used the retired World of Good DSP (designer series paper) for the front of the card. I trimmed a piece of the Mossy Meadow DSP to 6 by 6 inches. Then, I ran it through my cut and emboss machine using the Subtles embossing folder. There are some things I won’t give up simply because they retired – including masculine DSP and the Subtles embossing folder. Next, I trimmed the DSP to 41/8 inches by 5-3/8 inches. If I had trimmed the DSP to size before embossing, the DSP might have been too small for what I wanted.
- I also used this Mossy Meadow DSP pattern for the envelope flap. As when using embossing folders, I ran this piece through the cut and emboss machine using the bark 3D embossing folder. Then, I trimmed it to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches.
- Then, I ran a piece of the Misty Moonlight DSP compass rose pattern through the cut and emboss machine using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. After it was embossed, I trimmed three pieces to 1/2 inch by 5 inches.
- I made this card for friends who are moving from Florida to Georgia and I wanted the top DSP to include something about the move. So, I picked the map DSP and cropped it using a stitched rectangle die. I made sure that at least a small part of Florida (the Keys) and part of Georgia would show behind the sentiment tag. Since this DSP already had enough details I chose not to emboss it..
- I decided to add a piece of burlap ribbon under the map DSP to add yet another texture.
Finishing Up:
- The very appropriate sentiment came from the Timeless Tropical cling stamp set. I stamped it in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock. The sentiment mat is cut from Misty Moonlight. I used the Banners Pick a Punch for each piece of cardstock and then adhered them together.
- I used dimensionals under the map DSP to accommodate the burlap ribbon. There are also dimensionals under the sentiment tag. I used my favorite multipurpose liquid adhesive for everything else.
- After trimming the DSP on the envelope flap, and making the envelope seal, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
