Hand Cranked, Not Cramped Hands! 
Would you love to have a full background with a dry embossed, textured design? Does just the idea of doing all that intricate detail by hand make your hand cramp? With the Texturz Plates and just a couple cranks with the Big Shot handle, you will have a textured design background.
The Harlequin Texturz plate, shown here, is one of six exclusive designs you will get with the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1. To create the embossed backgrounds you will also need the Texturz Impressions Pad and Texturz Silicone Rubber Pad.
I have read tips about spritzing the card stock with water or rubbing alcohol for a deeper impression. The tips didn't leave me too "impressed" and was all wet (the card stock anyway).
What worked beautifully for me was to use a piece of card stock as shim under the Texturz plate sandwich.
the Big Shot with just a couple of cranks of the handle.
Look at all that great texture with so little effort!
And, here is a card using two of my new favorite items from the Spring-Summer Idea Book & Catalog – That's Funny stamp set and Texturz Plates.
I know, you just can't wait to try this yourself. Six different embossed backgrounds starting at only $9.95!
