Let's Get Trendy Now!3 - Day 5: Textured layers

Have you been eyeing those luscious textured layers on the projects of your fave artists? Want to know how to create the "illusion" of textures on your card so that it still ships on normal postage? *winks* We've saved the best for last. Let's look at how we can create textured layers on our projects. :)


1. Layering patterned papers.

Designer Ashley Horton creates yummy textures on her tag through a mix of different patterned papers.

For more details on this tag and a complete supply list, please visit Ashley Horton Designs. Psst....she's offering some free nautical printables...



2. Create textures with common household supplies.

Designer Erum Tasneem created the fabulous textures on her card with home-made mixed media supplies.[Read her tip.]


For more details on this card and a complete supply list, please visit VIBGYOR Krafts.


3. Create the illusion of layers.

Like the look of textured layers but prefer less lumpy pages? Designer Miae Rowe used gesso, masks and colorants to create a vibrant textured layout that still fits into your page protector.


For more details on this layout and a complete supply list, please visit Making Scrap Up.


4. Get creative with pretty supplies.

Designer Helen Tilbury created her textured masterpiece using 2 pieces of patterned papers,a layer of lace bling, misted muslin, flowers, trinkets and glitter.

5.Choose patterned papers that have textured designs.

The glasscloth paper on designer Amy Tsuruta's upcycled coffee sleeve provides faux-texture.

6. Play with fabrics.

Mixing up fabrics can create incredible textures as seen on designer Julie Tucker-Wolek's layout.
For more details on this layout and a complete supply list, please visit The Tucker and Wolek Clan.
7.A combination of different textural materials.


Put it all together with a fun combo of paper, fabric, plastic and metal like on designer Yvonne Yam's card.

  5. YES to a #4 please!!! Does that mean we have to wait a year? Would love to have it be sooner!!

    Today's theme is so helpful for me, layering doesn't come easy to me. I worry too much about how it looks and if it's too much and so on. Seeing all these great examples has my head spinning with ideas already, can't wait to go play!!

    Thanks ladies for a wonderful inspiring week. I will check out all your blogs when I can, we are on summer break here and I was squeezing in time to make the projects instead of blog hopping. Just seeing all the projects here shows how awesome you are.

    Thanks for the comments on my blog from yesterday's challenge, I love how it came out.

  23. First I have to say I agree with Helen above, 100% this was an awesome workshop. LOVE LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Thanks again!

    Next is I finished and posted my projects for each day's lesson except for the last one, still thinking and trying. I put them all on one post just now, no time to do a separate one for each day, sorry. There is one day that I did though, the stitching one is done and posted back on that day. The rest is all grouped together, figured I could just share my link here for you to check out. Hoping to get more done and will let you know when I do. Thanks again!

  25. Oh this has been such a lot of fun Yvonne and has really helped me through a stressful month. I think I got a little mixed up doing these challenges as I was finding my projects were overlapping for techniques I was trying. I've so enjoyed doing them, sorry if I've mixed up my projects a bit, hope you can sort it out from my last post. Hope we can have a No 4 next year too. Thank you for all your hard work xx
