Project Inspiration: Frills, Flowers and Fun Layers Baby Card By Bobbi Lemanski

Project Inspiration: All Your Wishes by Kelly Lunceford

Project Inspiration: Elegant Wedding Card Featuring Breathtaking Blooms by Brenda Noelke

SAF 2017 Guest: Ashley Cannon Newell

5-Ashley

Get ready to be amazed with this project idea from Ashley Cannon Newell!

"Guess what? Now, there’s a way to add texture to paper crafting projects! Leather is a great material to use for a variety of products, including craft projects. However, leather is expensive, can be difficult to work with, and may not be socially acceptable. This tutorial provides a faux leather option that may be incorporated into an assortment of paper crafting projects, including cards. Leather-like elements will make creating masculine projects a breeze, and add amazing texture to many other project styles."

Instructions

  1. In a spray bottle, mix about 2/3 water and 1/3 pure glycerine and shake.
  2. Spray the water-glycerine mixture over both sides of brown cardstock.
  3. Crumple the wet cardstock into a ball a few times.
  4. Flatten the cardstock and repeat steps 2 and 3.
  5. Let the cardstock dry, preferably overnight.
  6. Die cut, trim, or stamp like cardstock. Handle with care and use liquid adhesive to adhere it to other paper.

    Best video so far for Stamp-a-faire! I did this years ago with paper bags and my preschool kids to make cowboy vests. Don’t know why I never thought of using cardstock and making leather cards. Just made 3 sheets of leather and twiddling my thumbs until they dry. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!

    Ashley- it’s so great to “see” you. I didn’t have any glycerin to participate in this challenge, but I will definitely need to add some to my stash so I can try this myself. It looks awesome! 🙂

    I have crumpled cardstock to add texture but haven’t tried this technique of spraying the water-glycerine mixture to it. Can’t wait to try it. Such realistic results!
