Faux Leather Cards

The first card is the card that we made for club this month (we are taking a break for the summer, next club will be September) then second card I made as an example. The Faux Leather oval started as the same size as the oval that mats it, it shrinks that much when you heat them.




To do the Faux Leather you need to start with Fun Foam (go ahead and swipe a piece from the kids). Using the stamp of your choice ink if in Early Espresso Ink, leave it sitting on the ink pad while you heat the Fun Foam with you heat gun, heat it until it gets very soft and the edges start to curl up. Quickly stamp your inked image onto the Fun Foam pressing lightly (if you press to hard you will get the outline of your stamp imbedded as well, if that happens turn the Fun Foam over and heat and stamp again)
