Well I'm finally back to share with you the creations I made for the classes I taught at Brisbane's Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo.
I was privileged to be asked by Craft Giraffe to takes a class for them, and I loved every minute of it. All the ladies in my classes were very welcoming as this was my first show teaching.
My creations showcased the 'Gatsby' colour collection from the new Ultimate Crafts THE RITZ Collection. The other colour collections included 'Theatre' which was softer colours of creams with gold and 'Evening Cocktail' which was black and gold based.
My class consisted of a 1 page scrapbooking layout along with two cards that could be completed at home.

LAYOUT
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Cut you piece of white
cardstock down to 11 ½” x 11 ½” or 29.3cm x 29.3cm.
2.
Taking you geometric stencil,
using the Couture Creations embossing paste, add some texture to the left hand
side of the page, but not right to the edge.
3.
Whilst the embossing paste is
wet sprinkle with the gold embossing powder.
It is up to you, but I didn’t coat all of the embossing paste, and some
areas were more heavily sprinkled with the powder than others. Hold aside to allow it to start to dry.
4.
Let’s cut the papers:
Patterned Paper -
1. Spiral Fan – cut a horizontal line at 3” or 7.5cm (you will have 2 pieces of the same size)
Patterned Paper -

2. Crashing Wave – 5” long
x 4” wide or 12.7cm x 10.4cm
3. Damask Paper – 5” x 5” or 12.7cm x 12.7cm
Black Cardstock

2. For Crashing Wave – 5 1/8” x 4 1/8”or 13cm x 10.7cm
3. For Damask – 5 1/8” x 5 1/8” or 13cm x 13cm.
4. Cut a piece of black cardstock to use to mat your photo.
3. Damask Paper – 5” x 5” or 12.7cm x 12.7cm
Black Cardstock
1. For Spiral Fan – 12” wide x 3 1/8” long or 30cm x 7.7cm
2. For Crashing Wave – 5 1/8” x 4 1/8”or 13cm x 10.7cm
3. For Damask – 5 1/8” x 5 1/8” or 13cm x 13cm.
4. Cut a piece of black cardstock to use to mat your photo.
5. Go back to your white
cardstock. Using a heat gun, heat set
your embossing powder. Don’t worry if
the embossing paste bubbles a bit as this gives it even more texture.
6. Attach your white cardstock
to your second piece of black cardstock.
7. Attach all your patterned
pieces of paper to the black card mats.
8.
Inside your kit you will find
two black die cuts, the Art Deco columns die (curly) and the Art Deco Tag
die. There is also a piece of black
cardstock that has a white backing. This
backing is double side tape. Using your
geometric die from your kit, die cut two of these on the black cardstock piece.
9.
Using the A5 piece of white
card we are going to heat foil the Art Deco stamp on to the card with some
matte gold foil. Follow the instructions
given by the tutor.
10. From your kit take the floral die cut that has the double sided tape
(with the white paper on top). Cut a
piece of gold foil just big enough to cover the floral die cut. Remove the white paper from the die and gold
side facing up adhere the foil to the double sided tape. Rub rub rub the foil with your fingers
(gently) to coat the tape with the foil.
Pull off the foil to show the result.
If foil hasn’t taken in all areas, you can continue to add the foil back
to the die until you are happy with the end result.
11. Take the large and three medium size flowers and tab lightly with
some liquid glue. Hold to the side until
the glue has gotten ‘tacky’ but not dry.
Take a piece of ‘scrap’ foil and rub over the flower over the top of the
tacky glue. The foil will adhere to the
glue.
12. CONSTRUCTION TIME
13. Remove the backing of the two die cuts that you did using the
geometric die. Adhere to the left side
of the white cardstock approximately 1” in from the side.
14. Take your hot foil stamped image and fussy cut.
15. Take your foiled floral die cut, fussy cut hot foiled stamped image
and your Art Deco tag die and cut each one in half.
16. Attach each half of the hot foiled stamped image on to each half of
the Art Deco tag. Adhere to the back of your photo, to the top and bottom using
some double sided tape.
17. Adhere ½ of your floral foiled die cut to the Art Deco column (curly
die) and attach both to the back of the left side of your photo.
18. Attach some 3D foam tape to the reverse of your photo.
19. Adhere the second half of the foiled floral die cut to the back
bottom edge of the Crashing Waves patterned paper.
20. Next attach your matted patterned papers to the layout as per the
above photo. Personally with this layout
I found it easier to attach the patterned papers to the back of the photo and
then attach the entire stack to the white cardstock.
21. Using the packet of gold pearls adhere to both the left and right
sides of the Spiral Fan patterned paper.
22. Adhere your flowers to the layout, glue down the tassel and add some
sequins of your choice to the page if you choose.
23. FINISHED J
24. As this layout is designed to cover an array of different photos I
did not choose a title for the page. I
will leave this up to you to add one should you choose.
