Here is the double page spread that we worked on in class today! Step-by-step instructions for the layout can be found below. A big thank you to the morning class for lending me their pages so I could photograph them as I taught!
Cut the plain 12x12 into strips. You need 2 strips 4 inches wide and 2 strips 2 inches wide.
Cut the mustard spot 12x12 into 4 squares 6x6 inches.
Using magic tape on the back, alternate the mustard spot and the text side of the paper to make 2 pieces 6x12 inches.
Using magic tape on the back again, stick the pink strips to the patterned pieces to make 2 pages 12x12 inches.
Cut 2 scalloped strips from the quilted paper. It needs to be 2 circles wide.
Stick the scalloped borders onto a plain colour (if you have the Stoke Gallery kit you have 2 strips the same colour for this) and cut around leaving a little edge showing.
Use the leftover quilted paper to punch circles from the patterned middles. (If you have the kit they are already punched for you)
Stick the scalloped borders onto the wide plain strips of your 12x12's.
Glue the circles onto the narrow plain borders.
Add a dashed line along the circles in black pen to look like stitching.
To make your title, print the words you need, back to front, from your computer. If you have the kit and find this hard, let me know and I will print or e-mail your title to you.
Stick the words with glue stick (use sparingly) to the back of your plain title paper and cut them out. I like to peel the white paper off afterwards as I think it gives a nicer finish.
Stick the title onto your layout and draw around the edge of the letters with white pen so that they look like they are stitched on the page.
Round the corners of your photos, mount onto ivory card and round the corners again before sticking them on your layout.
Congratulations! You've finished!
