Stamping, Paints, Photoshop- even more fun together!
Hi All! Today I have another idea for embossing with leather. This is just a quick explanation of a happy accident I had while playing around with a stencil and window screening and test leather strips. I used white cardstock that I cut three times and layered together. I layered the leather and then the…
Hello! Once again I’m trying to use things that I have kicking around my craft space to make impressions into leather. If you haven’t read my initial post in this leather series, please make sure to do that because I cover a lot of the basics there. One of the things I had floating around…

Hi Everyone! I am back with leather embossing experiments and in this case I am looking at paper cutouts again with an eye towards the thickness of the layers and/or lack there of. I did something similar with paper embossing where I used different thicknesses- by utilizing a different number of layers glued together- and…
Hi y’all! Well, I’m still trying to get impressions into leather! In todays’ experiment I have a beautiful, gorgeous piece of copper that’s been imprinted. I got this from Potter Press and I have two of these, so I was willing to sacrifice at least a piece of one. So I decided to try to…
