Our card making video tutorial today teaches you how to create fence for our card.  Now I have made and built all kinds of fences in my day, from real outdoor fences to fences on my cards and scrapbook pages.  And by far, this is the easiest way!

One of the problems with creating a fence is adding texture to the posts.  You can stamp the texture, but if you really want to feel it, then you need to use some sort of embossing tool.  I used the new Woodgrain Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!.  Then comes the question, do I emboss then cut, or cut then emboss?  The answer is:  it depends on what kind of paper cutter you are using.  If you are using a sliding cutter or one that involves a pressure, like a bar that locks into place, then you want to cut first, which does make it more of a pain to dry emboss.  If you use one like I do in my video tutorial, it is easier to emboss it all first, then cut it apart – and simple wins for me everytime!

To make the fence you need:  Paper cutter (106959), Crumb Cake Cardstock (120953), Silicone Craft Sheet (127853), Adhesive Sheets (120805), Word Window Punch (119857), Woodgrain Embossing Folder (127821), Post its and your Big Shot (113439).  If you don't have all the supplies you need, you can order them using the linked item numbers after each product name if you live in the US.  So grab your goodies and let's get to building this fence!

I hope that you enjoyed this easy, easy way to create your fence.  If you like even just one of the tricks and tips that I teach you in this video, drop me a comment below and let me know it!
