Lets Rip It!


In this class we will concentrate on learning the latest stitch and rip technique. We will go through the traditional sewn stitch and rip and then move on to the new "faux" stitch and rip, using gluing and fake stitching. We will then use this technique to create a boarder at the top and bottom of a layout.

Supplies needed:
One photo 6" x 4" (landscape).
One sheet of patterned paper for a background (neutral pattern or low pattern so that it doesn't detract from the stitch and rip feature).
One piece of notepaper style patterned paper or neutral cardstock to mat your photo and write your journaling on.
A selection of scraps of patterned paper and cardstock to match your colour scheme (about 1" x 6"). You can be bold in your choice of colours becasue you will only see a small section of the colour and pattern.
Scrap of patterned paper to make a tab.
Two strips of patterned transparency (not essential if you do not have scraps).
Alphabet for a title (I used two different styles for my two word title).
A selection of large and small brads or buttons.
Stars or flowers or other suitable accent.
Rubon boarders if desired.
Scissors.
Hole piercer.
Foam tape or dimensional stickers.
Mat pack or stitching ruler.
Gel pen for your stitching and journaling.
Sewing thread if you wish to use traditional stitch and rip technique.

Techniques used:
Stitch and Rip.
Faux stitch and Rip.
Fake stitching.
Paper slicing.
Hand journaling.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
