Hello stampers and happy Tuesday to you. I know….it’s not the regular blogging day but I really want to share the Faux Leather Technique with you. For this faux leather technique I am going to use both Regal Reindeer and Nuts About Squirrels. I did this so you can see how it looks and works with both a red rubber stamp as well as a photopolymer stamp. Let’s see what you need at home to do the Faux Leather technique.
Faux Leather Technique Supplies
- Heat gun.
- Fun Foam which you can get here in the Netherlands or here on Amazon.
- Early Espresso Ink
- Blending Brushes
- Stylish Shapes Dies
First determine which shape and size you want and die cut them. Then heat the fun foam until the edges start to curl. Have your stamp already inked and ready. Press very firmly into the fun foam and hold for five seconds. Use blending brushes and early espresso ink to distress the edges to further the faux leather look.
Faux Leather Card Samples
Here are the cards that I have made using this very fun and easy Faux Leather technique. I was actually inspired by my own video from years ago which I think is my most popular YouTube video ever. If you want to see that blog post as well as the video, you can find it here.

Want a new catalog?
The new mini catalog is coming out soon and perhaps you would like one. Place an order with me this month and I will be sure to send you this brand new catalog. We all know that holding an actual catalog in your hand is far better than browsing through it online. If you have ordered with me in the last three months and do not live in the Chatham area, please let me know if you want me to send you a catalog. I will put them in the mail when I am back in Canada.
Thanks for much for joining me today, I hope you have a super day. Be sure to try out this fun technique and remember, the supplies that you need are all in the links below for easy shopping.
