Faux Leather Birthday Card

This was a great technique and WAY easier than it looks. It's always hard to find a masculine birthday card idea since most birthday stuff is pretty girly. To do the Faux Leather you need a piece of fun foam cut to the desired size, your stamp you want, I chose the Stampin Up Motorcycle, and Stampin Up Chocolate Chip Ink Pad. Heat the foam with a embossing gun, get it very hot, you can see the foam melt a little. Once you get it melted you have your stamp inked and ready to go. You must press VERY HARD with the stamp in order to get the impression in the foam. I used the Log Cabin Smooch Spritz and a sponge with basic black on it to distress and emphasize the leather look. I used Stampin Up Very Vanilla Paper, the same distressing tools, and the Backgrounds 1 texture plate for the Sizzix from Stampin up. The card shell is Crumb Cake with a Chocolate Chip Mat. Thanks for checking in!

FREE PAPER LAYOUT!

Time is running out to take advantage of SALE-A-BRATION. This layout is from the Ice Cream Parlor paper set I got FREE when I ordered. I made some cards earlier with it, and now layouts, and next ??? I still have plenty of paper left! The sticky die cuts come with it and coordinate well. I also order enough to get the ribbon and button pack free as well. You can't beat this great deal!!!

Scrapbook Room Reorganization...IN PROGRESS

So i haven posted much lately for two reasons...1 i couldn't find anything in my room because it was a nightmare of stuff. My family apparently thinks if they can't find where it goes we just put it in my scrapbook room. 2 I didn't have a computer. I've remedied the 2nd problem and am in process for the other. Here's a few pictures of the process with some before and in process shots. Once it's done (if it ever gets 'done') Ill post more pictures!!!!

Cakes Anyone?

I am beginning to dabble in cakes a bit. Discover fondant the other day and LOVE it!!! I used a marshmallow recipe I found online and I love it. Half a bag of mini marshmallows, 2T Water microwave for 1 minute. Stir in powdered sugar until it wont stir anymore. Awesome!!! Here is a couple cakes I did. Im still learning but one is the Super Mario Mushroom on the mystery box and the other is my weak attempt at the grinch!
