Tips for Wood Textures Suite



My tips for using Wood Textures Suite

  • Watch the direction of woodgrain when cutting or using embossing folder.
  • Creases are faint on the wood crate with CS. I’ve found they work better with DSP.
  • When cutting the crates, cut them both the same way.  You do not have to flip them.
  • Decide which side you want to be the outside of your crate and have that side up.
  • I ended up liking ¼” scor-tape to put my crates together.
  • Add texture and sponge with ink to embossing folders.
  • Check out Pinterest for different ideas on paper/color combos.
  • Use light ink colors on dark wood and dark ink colors on light wood.  
  • Use the crate to make different things such as a basket, bench, baby crib, etc.
