Texture is a fun ingredient in handmade cards, so today I’m showing two thank you cards using different types of texture. If you click on the photos in my Product List below, it will take you to details about the products I used.

Textured “thank you” cards

For the first card, I used the Fern Embossing Folder on Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″. While playing with the new In Colors, I discovered that blending Parakeet Party with Starry Sky makes lovely shades of green. 

After using Blending Brushes to apply the two ink colors, I glued this layer to Basic White Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. Then, I glued the two layers to a Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. 

“Sending” was cut with a Sending Die from In Color Glimmer Paper. “A note of thanks” is from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set, stamped in Soft Succulent Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Sending Die.

For my second card, I used the Stitched Greenery Die to add texture to Basic White Cardstock, 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. Doesn’t it look like quilted fabric? Prior to using the die, I stamped a Nature’s Prints plant in three shades of green ink: Soft Sea Foam, Parakeet Party, and Soft Succulent.

Additional texture was added with a Soft Sea Foam frame, cut with a Fabulous Frames Die. I love the embossed detailing on the frame.

“Thank you” is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set, chosen because it fit perfectly on a Fabulous Frames die-cut label. It was stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink, and attached with Dimensionals. I added even more texture with two tiny Iridescent Pearls, and a “sneak peek” of Soft Sea Foam Ribbon from the upcoming 2022 July-December Holiday Catalog. 

After gluing my framed “quilt” to the Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, my project was complete.
