Class One: raspberries

14th and 16th of October

7.30 pm

Once again we will be using the cuttlebug to create texture and interest on a layout. This layout uses strips of paper and cardstock and some fun embelishments for impact.

Supplies needed:
One photo in 6" x 4" (landscape).
One full sheet of cardstock for a background.
Two strips of cardstock to put through the cuttlebug (both different colours - I used red and white).
Three strips of patterned paper in a neutral or background pattern, or cardstock (two pieces of one colour and one of another colour - I used two of green basic grey textured plain cardstock and one blue patterned paper).
Two strips of patterned paper (I used a multicoloured stripe).
Two strips of printed transparency.
One journaling stamp or journaling rubon.
One chipboard flower accent or other suitable accent (my flower is about 4" tall with the flower and stem).
One chipboard flower about 1".
Two chipboard bookplates.
Two rectangles of chipboard (from the centre of the bookplates) as an accent and a title (as seen in the sneak peek).
A scrap of patterned paper to make a tab.
Embroidery thread in two colours to match your papers.
Brads in various colours to match your papers (I used Queen and Co sprinkle brads that have patterns on them).
Ink to match your colour scheme (to highlight some of your embossing).
Ink for your journaling stamp if you are using one.
Hole piercer and mat pack/stitching ruler if you have one.
Sandpaper.
Wet glue for embelishments.

Techniques used:
Dry embossing, inking, colour blocking, white space, journaling, hand stitching.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
