[@roselynschwichtenberg9202]

Thanks to you and Jayme for sharing your knowledge. Can't wait to try it!!!

[@Karen626]

The music you chose for the cutting sections is so … groovy! FUN.

[@CraftyReporter]

Thank you! I love it too! 💖💖💖

[@Sheople512]

This was a bad ass bag!!! 😉

[@CraftyReporter]

Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@thunderbirdfarmpa]

Love that Toothless Face on the fabric!! This is so cool!

[@CraftyReporter]

He’s my fave 😌😆

[@JoleeleeCreations]

Oh my goodness! That shirt is amazing! 🫶

[@CraftyReporter]

It’s one of my favorites!!!

[@staceykinghandmade]

Awesome! I originally thought you used the heat press to adhere the leather and create the definition. 👏👏

[@CraftyReporter]

🥰🥰🥰

[@Adrianac313]

Thank you. Such a cool idea.

[@CraftyReporter]

[@MAPowPix]

Thanks so much for this! I adore that HTTYD fabric, can you share where it is from?

[@dianalagas6769]

I wonder if the Smoothluxe from Fabric Therapy would work in place of leather as it is thicker🤔

[@CraftyReporter]

I thought that too! Try it and let me know! 😂🥰

[@dianalagas6769]

@@CraftyReporter I ordered the glue…hopefully it comes today…but I cut 2 Cupid Crossbody’s out yesterday 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@donnahibberd1054]

10:04 A scanNcut machine, you can scan the image into the machine, and then it can cut the vinyl or cardstock for you.

[@CraftyReporter]

Yes, also an option! I just like hand cutting 😂😂😂

[@donnahibberd1054]

​@CraftyReporter i got a scanNcut last year. And I absolutely love it.

[@fran_ward]

Thanks Amber. What a great idea. I wonder if you could use an EVA foam instead of leather for the body

[@CraftyReporter]

You’ll have to try it and let us know! 🥰

[@RachelBeachy]

That's a really cool technique! If you mentioned it in the video I missed it, but what kind of glue did you use?

[@CraftyReporter]

It’s linked in the comments. It’s a leather glue. You could also use a cement glue

[@cafeldmann1]

I use Tandy Ecoweld. It seems to get tacky faster than it looks like the glue does in this video. I'm pretty sure that's the glue JayMe uses also.

[@Deena_LorettaJames]

Do you think you could use EVA foam for that instead of leather or is that too soft?

[@CraftyReporter]

Probably too soft if you want definition. But I’ve never tried it. So try it and report back, bestie! 🥰

[@nancyclavette8139]

Amber very interesting! Can you or have you tried to use only vinyl?

[@CraftyReporter]

I’ve done this twice with vinyl as the exterior. Is that your question?

[@nancyclavette8139]

@ image cut using vinyl

[@ksart9188]

I wonder if you could use Selpa? That really thick stiffener for leather. Sometimes used as stabilizer for wallets… 🤔

[@CraftyReporter]

@@ksart9188 I don’t think it would be thick enough. I have Salpa and it’s not as thick as this vinyl. You should try it and let us know 🥰

[@ksart9188]

What about using some leather dye to highlight the high points on the design? I don’t know how well venal takes dye..

[@ksart9188]

or, could you glue 2 layers together. Maybe selpa and leather..

[@CraftyReporter]

Sounds like a lot of extra cutting to me but let us know!

[@nancyclavette8139]

I wonder if EVA foam will work?

[@CraftyReporter]

Maybe but I don’t think the lines of the design or letters would be as pronounced? You’ll have to try and let us know! I used leather pieces for my design here.

[@nancyclavette8139]

Thank you for showing how. I want to give it a try…. Exciting now to make the time 😂

[@DJCFLA]

what did you use to cut the dragon out of, and glued it to?

[@CraftyReporter]

Leather 🥰
