3 ways to add texture to any card projects by Alicia Giess, Carta Bella

Fabulous article by Jennifer Gallacher over at the Carta Bella website. Here's how designer Alicia Giess adds texture to card projects ...........
"1. Add a pop-up dot: One of my favorite ways to add texture to a project is with a pop-up dot. These make the elements, i.e. stickers, die-cut elements, ribbons, twine, or chipboard, pop right off the project.  I used the adorable “It’s a Celebration” collection and pop up dots to bring the focus on the stickers that I added to the cards.

2. Add fibers like twine: Add just a touch of texture with a double-length cut of twine. Twine tied to a sticker gives it a little more depth and interest.

3. Layer stickers and die cuts: I also add texture by using my die-cut machine to cut a shape out of the cardstock and then adding a sticker on top of the cut-out area for texture.  The 3-dimensional pinwheels also add texture to the card.
c. Carta Bella

Don’t be afraid to make your project pop by experimenting with different texture techniques.  Texture takes a good project and turns it into something fantastic"

Quick & easy Stampin Up recycled tin cans for tying to wedding cars

Any idea why tin cans are tied to the back of a wedding car on the happy couple leaving?
It's thought that it's a way of protecting the marriage fro the outset by warding off any evil spirits at the point the couple start their life journey together.  So, here's how to give boring tin cans the Stampin Up wedding treatment ;)

Simply take some old (clean!) tin cans and wrap them with your favourite Stampin Up paper and card! Stamp whatever images fit the wedding theme!


I've used a mixture of the new gold fancy foil designer vellum, naturals ivory card, silver glimmer paper, watercolour wonder designer series paper, and heart stamps from the Hearts a flutter stamp set
