    Creating Cards with Texture and Dimension

    September 8, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Hi there, crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel, and I love finding easy ways to add texture and dimension to cards because those elements add loads of interest. Using the new Texture & Foliage Collection from Suzanne Hue makes it easy to add texture and dimension to foliage-focused cards. The Autumn Greetings Wreath Etched Dies has everything you need to create a fall wreath with branches, leaves, pumpkins, and gourds. To create a very textured background, emboss an A2 piece of Cinnamon Cardstock with the Dimpled 3D Embossing Folder.

The Spellbinders Cheerful Chirps Collection has several adorable bird-themed die sets. One of my favorites is the Pretty Birds dies, which showcases two sweet birds sitting on a perch.

I combined the Memo Splatter BetterPress Plate along with the Reel Color Sentiment BetterPress Plate & Die Set. This is when I tell you that I love working with BetterPress products!  The Memo Splatter was inked in Azalea – BetterPress Ink, and the sentiment in Black – BetterPress ink.
