Hi my name is Tammy Miller.

I live in Northern KY with my husband Jerry of 23 years and my 22 year old son and a 19 year old daughter who goes away to college! I have been creating all my life and I love it. Creating is my Dis-Stressor! My favorite medium at this time is Cards and some scrapbooking. I love the instant gratification you get by making a card but the seeing the pleasure on people’s faces as they receive it is priceless! My favorite tool for the times would have to be digital stamps!!! I love them so much, I love the variety, storage, and the flexibility and ease of them. I discovered digis about 1 ½ years ago and have been hooked every since!

Faux Fluff Tutorial

Tammy Miller

Below is my Tutorial to make what I call Faux Fluff it is a great way to add dimention and texture to your projects for just pennies

All you need are the things in this picture:

That’s right Styrofoam, a cheese grater and re-inkers or

food coloring works just as well.

Here is my stash.

Ok this can be a messy job that is why I try to do all my colors at one time. You take the Styrofoam and you grate it. It will go everywhere so if you have a tray sit it on top so it is not so messy but don’t worry it will clean up! I grate mine into the rubber stamp boxes

After I have grated what I want grated I put some in a little container and add coloring you can add more but cannot take away that way you get the desired color. After you have colored store in an air tight container. White is perfect uncolored for snow. You can get green and not have to color at all. I get mine at Walmart and have gotten some at the Dollar Tree as well

Final look, now it is ready to color.


I've just added styrofoam to my shopping list.
How about you?

From all of us at IDIC
