1. This is how the Fiskars® Texture Plates ™ look like. Each plate has a design on both sides. There are many textures to choose from and they are normally sold in packs.

2. Close up you can see an example of how some of the textures can look like.
|
|
|
3. The first thing you want to do is to use masking tape and stick your paper (with the good side down) to the plate.
|
|
|
4. Use your embossing tool or you can even use a stylus (this will take a bit longer) and work in a circular motion until you begin to see your pattern.
|
|
|
5. Continue until you have the pattern you desire. It is helpful after you use your embossing tool to take the stylus and “deepen” the already formed designs. I find that it shows up even better on the other side especially if the cardstock is a little thicker.
|
|
|
6. Remove the masking tape and turn your paper or cardstock over. You will now have a paper with a raised or “embossed” pattern.
|
|
|
7. You can also create a wonderful texture using brass embossing templates with small designs and a light box. Stick your template to the light box using masking tape.
|
|
|
8. Lay your paper over the template and secure it also with masking tape.
|
|
|
9.Take your stylus and follow the pattern along the edges. This will push the paper to the inside (which will raise it on the other side).
|
|
|
10. Follow along all of the edges until the pattern is completed.
|
|
|
11. Remove your paper from the light box and turn it over. You now have an embossed and textured paper that can be used for any of your crafting purposes.
