I made a couple cards using the new You Move Me Die-namics and Stamp Set and used My Favorite Felt to add a touch of texture.
I've got a sample for a Touch of Texture too! I've created a little paper crafted home decor using this month's Perfect Pinwheel Die-namics, my texture touch is that I pulled out my crimper, it's been used on small strips of patterned paper which I then curled for filler.
I also ran the woodgrain patterned paper through my diecutting machine with a houndstooth embossing folder, I LOVE adding a little bit of texture to my patterned papers, it totally changes the look!
I have several Touches of Texture on my card, which features the new set, Clearly Sentimental about the Journey. I did some distressing and piercing, plus I used my paper crimper on the narrow vertical panel. The cork Die-namics Leafy Flourish adds even more texture, plus the NEW Die-namics Large Rolled Rose is very crumpled and distressed, too!
Location: was Ontario Canada, then Massachusetts, now Ohio.

Christina, we're on the same wavelength! I used Clearly Sentimental About the Journey too and the Large Rolled Rose adds plenty of texture to this card!
Okay I finally got the time and the inspiration to sit down and make a card for the Guest Designer challenge.... thanks for the challenge ladies!! I tried to get a few different textures into this card ... wish you could feel the pocket to feel the worn edges of the "jeans" .... so hope you enjoy it
