Fiskars makes texture plates to create textured papers, foil or clay. They work wonderfully on MMF and crusted buttercream. I found the assortment package on sale for 50% at Hobby Lobby last week and it includes blossoms, honeycomb, braids, basketweave, carpet, rug, music notes, lace, critters, leather, paws and foot and hand prints. The imprints make a suttle design on the cake or MMF trim.
The different sized embossing tools work great too. They have very small tips on them so they're great for little details.
I recently got some of those fiskars plates! I love them!!! I used them for my quilt cake to get all the different impressions for my quilt squares. They only had a couple different sets at my Jo-anns, so I'll have to look for the other ones and those embossing tools too.

Wow! Thanks GIAcakes and socake!!! That is a really great idea to use paper punches. I'm definitely going to be checking them out at Michaels soon! It's nice to be able to combine hobby supplies, LOL. I also use a lot of my quilting supplies for cakes, esp the clear rulers. ....now if I could just finish my boys' two quilts I've been working on for more than a year!
