What is pleather? It's an inexpensive substitute for leather. So what are we using? Fun foam! What are we doing with it? Well it's National Stamping Month so we are going to stamp on it. I love to play with foam so I thought this technique was particularly fun and it's brought to us by...
Tinkering Ink. The papers and the stamps are from them. YAY. I used the Noir Blanc line of papers and the clear stamps are the Clematis stamps... which are the freebies for today. All you have to do is post in the comment section before midnight California time each day. (remember we will be doing this EVERYDAY this month...YAY... so come back) Check out their site and let me know what you'd like and I'll order it for you. email me at
hautemama@hauteartist.com
We are going to start off by using our heat gun to heat up the fun foam. The edges will start to curl and you will notice it soften.
Pretty quickly you will take your stamp and press it into the the heated fun foam. Press it firmly to get a good impression.
Ta-da! I cut this one out. Love the texture.
You can also take your StazOn Ink and press it onto the heated foam like I did here on the pink foam.
This is what the lucky winner will receive from today. Thank you
Tinkering Ink!!!
