Hello friends
Today I would like to introduce you to Angela Dodson who is a
member of the Papermill Design Team.
She has created these two lovely projects using the limited edition
leather embossed card in buff and white.
A clever handbag.
A clever handbag.
And a wallet with faux stitching.
The card really does look like leather!
I am pleased to say that I have a limited stock of the leather effect card in buff and white
available in the shop - sold in small boxes - £5.00 white, £4.50 buff.
Now - for those of you who cannot make it to the shop I thought I would arrange a giveaway
of some of the leather effect card. Really simple, just leave a comment and I will pick
out a few names next week.
For more brilliant projects be sure to check out Angela's blog here.
I'm heading off to Faversham this morning - The Artistic Stamper,
today is Spellbinders Create A Flower class.
Really looking forward to spending the whole day creating.
Enjoy your Sunday and don't forget to leave a comment.
Take care friends.

Morning Christine
I have used this leather effect card in the past - and I have found it to be excellent. I love the idea of using it for a faux handbag
Have a nice day

Hello Christine, I like very much the leather look card as I still have a few pieces left from a visit to a Paper Mill shop at Sprinfields. I have mainly for the fronts of "books". Enjoy your day and hopefully the sunshine also.

These are great projects and the leather look card seems really useful! Enjoy your day with Jennie!
I had a few sheets of leather look card, years ago. I made a purse and wallet with them, but could never find a realistic effect on any card I saw advertised after that. This card looks brilliant and I would be rushing down to your shop if I were close enough. I hope very much to be lucky this time for the give away (I don't usually win anything, so I probably won't be lucky) . Got to be in it to win it they say!
Hi Christine,
The leather look paper looks great,the handbag and wallet look lovely. I do wish we all lived near your shop.
I hope you have a good day. Take care. x.
I'd love to try the leather effect card, it looks great in the photos. I used to like a product called "Almost leather" that was a foam you stamped in and heated to give an embossed faux leather effect but I've not seen it for years.
Hi Christine, I love the look of the faux leather paper, and the handbag and wallet look great. Enjoy yourself today at Faversham, the flowers on your project are gorgeous. Lovely picture of Bella protecting her toys whilst sleeping on Facebook. How are Elliott and Mitchell doing?

Hi Christine, the leather card looks fab. I used to have some black which was lovely. Have a lovely day crafting in Faversham, with the create a flower class the flowers are bright and colourful.

Hi Christine, I very much like the look of the leather paper. I have just received my diary for September and am already thinking how I can cover it so it is different to everyone elses. Love the projects too. Enjoy your day.
Morning Christine,
I had seen Angela's project's on the PMD website, they are lovely.
Enjoy your day in Faversham making those beautiful flowers.

Hi Christine. At first glance I thought the handbag WAS a handbag. Thant and the wallet are lovely.
Enjoy your day.
Love Val in Spain x
Hi Christine,
thank you so much for featuring 2 of my projects using the 'papermill leather embossed' card. It really is quite realistic and super to work with. There are some more pics of the projects on my blog including inside views of the wallet. http://www.pollypurplehorse.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/more-in-buff.html
btw the buff colour is extra nice to use for those often difficult to make 'male themed' cards too.
I just need to persuade them to make it in other colours too ;)
Have a wonderful day
Angela

Good morning Christine
Is this really paper - it looks just like real leather. The finished products are fantastic.
Enjoy your day crafting today - the project looks gorgeous.

Morning Christine, I have a 'block' of navy leather effect card that I picked up at the NEC a few years ago, I've used it in the past as a base for cards for men, I shall have to dig it out and see what I can create. I intend to have a crafty day today (got a craft fair next week) and also next Thursday, 2 full days of craft in a week aren't I lucky ?. Have a great Sunday, wish I was closer to be able to attend your workshops. Lynn xx
The two projects look fantastic-very realistic for "leather look", hope you have a great day crafting.

Hi Christine, love the Handbag and purse, the leather effect card looks great. Hope you enjoy your flower making day. love Jean Z xxx
Hi Christine
I love how Angela has used the leather effect card... I would like a bag like that in real life!
I do miss the local Papermill shop, as they have you as an outlet in the south do think they do more outlets?

Hello Christine
The card is so realistic just right for male cards!
Love the flowers though I probably prefer that..have a lovely day today Christine!

Morning Christine, Beautiful handbag & wallet by Angela and flowers, enjoy your class today. Hugs Emma
Wow that card is amazing and so are the bag and wallet. Love the flowers too Christine enjoy your day xx hazel
Hi Christine,
Well I wish I was joining you in Faversham, I really do, that project is gorgeous!
I had some sheets of the faux leather card years ago but it was in a yucky blue colour, I would love some white, and the tan colour looks so realistic on the wallet, very clever, I will go check out the blog!
I am trying to update mine daily!
Have a great say everyone no matter what you are to!
Crafty hugs all round,
Sandra xxxx
Hello Christine,
The leather effect looks really good. I think Sizzix had packs called sizzles which were all different colours. Always nice to have texture on a card.
Joy xx
Hi Christine. I like the look of this paper so useful for projects, Have a good day.
Morning Christine
Love Angela's projects you would never know it was not leather till you got close up.
Love the flowers on your project enjoy yourself today in Faversham.

Hi Christine
I hope your day at Artistic Stampers went really well, I am sure it did.
I love the leather effect card, and the wallet looks really brilliant. I will come down the shop and get some in the buff very shortly.

Morning Christine
Men's cards always make you have to think hard about what design to do but these leather effect cards are fabulous and the handbag for the girls is fantastic
Maggie x
Hi Christine, lovely look to the card. perfect for handbags and shoes.
Sadly your shop is miles aways so I welcome the opportunity to win something.
Have a lovely day, really sunny here
Sue X
The card is so realistic, I particularly like the wallet, and I like the idea that Ros said for the front of books. I will pop on to Angela's website as well. Have a lovely day in Faversham, loved Bellas photo on Facebook x
I didn't realize that you could actually get leather effect card :) I have had a go at making it a few times.
Have a lovely Sunday x
Hi Christine
It's really hard to believe this is card not real leather! Two great makes from Angela, both very different from the usual greetings cards.
Hope you have a lovely day at Artistic Stamper, another beautiful, sunny day 😎
Janice x
This leather effect card looks awesome! The handbag and wallet look real. xx

Hi Christine
Loving the new faux leather card and the projects are great. Lovely idea the wallet for the men in your life.
Kind regards Diane
Hi Christine, I love the look of the leather effect paper. Some lovely ideas too. Have a good day today. Janice x
Afternoon Christine, Wow, Wow, Wow, this card looks exactly like leather, so realistic !! and I'm loving the bag and wallet. This card is definitely going on my very long 'Wish List' haha.
I hope you are having a lovely day at your flower class.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hello Christine. I have never seen anything like this and am amazed at the effect it gives. Would love the chance to have a play - not that I ever win anything but maybe I can find it in your shop. Fingers crossed. I hope you've had a great day doing crafting your way and again, many thanks for your blog and daily updates. xxMargaretxx
I like this leather-look card. I've never seen anything like it before and would love to give it a try. Angela's projects are great too - I particularly liked the extra texture it gives to the card shown on the blog.
Goodness, I love the leather effect card. I've not seen anything like that in my area. Sadly, I'm right the other side of the south from you, here in Cornwall. If I'd been closer I would have come into the shop to buy some of your stock. I'll instead have to keep my fingers crossed in the hope that I'm one of the lucky ones to get chosen for your kind give-away. x
Hi Christine.I hope that you've had a super day at The Artistic Stamper ~ the flowers look great! Angela's 'leather look' projects are brilliant ~ I love the card,it's so realistic.Keeping my fingers crossed,thank you for the chance to win.Hugs,
Maggie x
Thank you for such a lovely day, I learned so much about the flowers, the two leather projects are gorgeous xx
Two fab projects - love the leather-look! AnnieS.x
Hi Christine, I'm late coming by today..was up early crafting and only just got online. This card looks brilliant - I've been playing with leather look techniques for altered books lately and have been very pleased with all the results...but..it's very time consuming...lol..using this would be a lot easier! Hugs Carole Z X
What lovely cards, especially the wallet. I may have to give this one a go. Great ideas! 😃
Wow, loving the look of the leather effect card. The projects are gorgeous.

Both beautiful projects. The card looks just like leather and really robust too. Thank you for the chance to win.
Have a good day and enjoy the sunshine xx
This card looks really awsome, it takes a lot of effort to get card to look like leather so this would be very handy to have in your stash, thanks for the chance to win, hopeing all is well at the Emberson household, from Karen of Durham.

The leather effect card looks wonderful.

Hi Chrisitne, i have purchased both the white and buff leather effect - they're both gorgeous although haven't used them yet! I really really want to make the bag Angela posted but can't find a tutorial and not sure where to begin. Any ideas? Hope your enjoying this beautiful weather and that the boys are doing good, take care. Alma x
good morning everyone, thank you so much for all the lovely comments on my projects. :)
I am going into hospital today for a little op. But when i am back on my feet i will be looking at making some tutorials. I tend to make things as I go along but quite a few people have asked about measurements etc, so i will do my best as soon as I can.
Angela

Morning Christine
These 2 cards look so life-like and I love the buff leather look card - so realistic. These are fab
I love the extra texture this card gives to projects and are exactly right for the projects featured. Great job :-)
I love the bag + wallet, great inspiration.I have used the leather card before + loved it, though not in buff (I nearly typed "in THE buff", ha ha) Sadly we no longer have a papermill outlet in Northern Ireland ,so I can't just "nip in" to top up my stash.
Wow! this is so leather like! The handbag is fab.
