Hi @Carmen_Moore212! Welcome to the community! We’re so happy you’ve joined us! I don’t have many faux leather project pictures, but I do have a beginner friendly project that I made with faux leather & HTV using my Loklik Cutting Machine 1 (Crafter). This project can easily be done using the Cutting Machine 2 (iCraft). It’s one of my favorite things to do with faux leather. Feel free to browse my channel, as I have other tutorials for the Loklik iCraft available there as well.
I also made this for my husband not too long ago:
I hope these projects give you some inspiration, and I also hope you’ll share your faux leather projects with us, too!
We have weekly challenges in which you can enter to win awesome prizes! You can also find lots of inspiration there. Right now, we’re entering week 3 of the 
#Color-Craft Challenge is Live! Create with Color & Win up to $100! Hope to see you there.

Yes, we’re honored to have you here, Carmen!
For the Color Craft Challenge it can pretty much be any type of project that has color. It doesn’t have to be a bunch of colors, just a simple color scheme will work perfectly. There are many examples in the thread I linked to. The only major rule is that it needs to be done using Loklik assets, such as images from the library, Loklik fonts or shapes, etc.
There’s a new challenge every 3 weeks, and each week there are 2 winners announced. If we receive less than 15 entries, the winners win a material gift, if we receive 15+, the winners will win a $40 HTVRONT gift card. If the total entries for all 3 weeks reaches 50, that unlocks the Ultimate Grand Prize of a $100 gift card. In that case, there will be 8 finalists picked from all 3 weeks, and voting will be open to the community to pick the winner.
You can learn more about how to enter from my post How to Enter Community Events.
To read more about the rules of the challenge, they are always listed in the original challenge post.
Also, every project you share publicly will be automatically entered into the

If you have any questions, please, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m always happy to help and give guidance whenever you need it. 
Welcome Carmen. I’m fairly new here too. You’ll love it here. Have fun, don’t stress & just create.
