Texture Plates




These are new in the catalog and I love them! What a difference in a textured background compared to a stamped one. The Texturz plates are roughly the same size as the Multi Purpose Platform, so that gives you a rough idea of the size.. they are nice and big!
You also need the 2 pads listed on pg 203, in addition to the Multi Purpose Platform (the Impressions Pad and the Silicone rubber pad) to make the "sandwich" to roll through the Big Shot.
To get a better impression (deeper embossed image) I used 2 or 3 sheets of cardstock UNDER my texturz plate like a shim, (those don't get embossed) and then made the "sandwich" per the instructions on the multi purpose platform. This gives a deeper embossed image. Without that extra thickness in your sandwich, the impression is actually quite faint. Of course, this gives you that option too!
