How to Create Texture Using a Die Cut

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to show you how to create texture using a die cut from Technique Tuesday By the Numbers Crafting Die.

Let’s take a look:

I love this By the Numbers die! It’s bold and full of space in between the numbers. Creating this card was simple.

Here’s how:

Simple die cut the numbers die 3 times out of white cardstock.

Then cut a 4th piece out of We R Memory Keepers Urban Chic patterned paper.  Adhere them all together using Tombow Mono Liquid Adhesive.

Cut the Neenah Solar White card base to 4.25 by 11 scored at 5.5.

Cut a second piece of the same Urban Chic patterned paper to 4.25 by 5.5 and adhere it to the top of the card base.

Line the die cut numbers strips with the stripes on the card base and adhere.

Beautiful texture!

To finish the card off, stamp the sentiment from Technique Tuesday Flowers For Mom stamp set inside using Versamark Ink.

Sprinkle Altenew Pure White Embossing Power on top and heat set it.

Flowers for mom stamp set

The font for this sentiment is my favorite.  It’s bouncy and playful.  It goes will with the front of the card.

Super quick and easy.

What do you think? Will you try adding some texture to your card front? I would love to see what you create!

Hello everyone!!!  It’s CASology Tuesday!!  We are back with another Clean and Simple Cue Card just for you!!

Take a look at my card:

1500 colored pencils

For this card, I used Technique Tuesday Flowers For Mom Stamp Set! It’s just the cutest stamp I’ve seen. I love that little flower. Perfect for coloring.

Here’s how I created this card:

Cut cardstock to 4 x 8, scored at 4.

Use the MISTI to stamp all of the images and sentiment from Technique Tuesday Flowers for Mom stamp set using Altenew Jet Black Crisp Dye Ink.

Color the flower and the butterfly using Tombow 1500 Colored Pencils. They are brand new and layer colors beautifully.

Add just a touch of Wink of Stella glitter to the flower petals and butterfly for an added touch.

To finish the card off, use We R Memory Keepers 3 Way Corner Punch to punch all four corners using the 10mm and the 7mm sides.
