Hello there, welcome to my Cyber Crop Class. So a little about me... I've been scrapping for about 2 years and can't remember what I did with all my free time before I found this creative outlet :) MyBlog

My dream is to win the Lotto (a sugar daddy would do too!) and open a Bricks and Mortar creative store with enough room to scrap all day...  . In the meantime I work in Marketing for a great company called ZETES Ireland.

My daughter Shona and I live with our cat Baby in our fabby house in Limerick and one day I dream of having a scrappy room, or somewhere I can close the door on my mess.. note: open plan rooms are NOT good for Scarppers, LOL!

I hope you enjoy the class!

Supplies from Crafteire

1 sheet of Piggytales Run Run

1 sheet of Piggytales River Bank

1 sheet of white cardstock

1 sheet of brown cardstock

1 Small piece of ribbon

Ink

Black Pen

4x6 photo landscape mode

Instructions

Step 1. Cut your white cardstock 8x8 inches. Mark out the section you are going to cut out. I have done this off center. Mark in about 1.25 inches on the left and about 1.5 inches from the top. The section I cut out is 3.75inches wide and 4.50 inches. Use a craft knifwe and ruler to cut out this section.

Step 2. Ink the edges of your white cardstoock, inside and out. I used a brown ink but any colour that co-ordinates with your paper.

Step 3. Cut your floral paper 7.75 inches wide by 4 inches high, ink edges. Glue down onto your cardstock leaving an edge all round. Turn your cardstock around, using a ruler and craft knife, cut out the patterned paper  covering the opening.

Step 4. Cut out your stripe paper 7.75 inches wide by 3.50 inches, ink edges. Glue down onto your cardstock leaving an edge all round. Turn your cardstock around, using a ruler and craft knife, cut out the patterned paper  covering the opening.

Step 5. Cover the joint of the papers with a strip of the reverse of the stripe (brown) which has been sanded and outlined with a pen.

Step 6. For your title, you can do one of two things. Either use chipboard letters in your stash as a template for your title, or using a word document print out out your title in a block font, Arial Black size 180 is good to use as a template. Cut out your title from the back of your floral paper. Ink the edges of your letters and outline with your black pen. Glue to the front of your frame.

Step 7. For your LO: Cut the reverse of the stripe (brown) 6.50 inches by 5.50 inches high, sand edges, mount your 6x4 photo on this. Cut a strip of the stripe paper 5 inches wide by 1 inch high, ink edges. Cut your floral paper 7x7 inches, ink edges. Assemble your LO as below. Cut strips of white cardstock about 1.5cm in height for your journalling. I cut a flower from left over paper and added ribbon to decorate.

Step 8. To assemble your LO: When you are happy where  your LO should be placed, glue it down. Add a strip of white cardstock to the inside edge of your frame as a hinge, glue the hinge down making sure you have it exactly where you want so you can see the photo. Add a tag at the side wth the words Lift Here -->

 

And that is it, hope you enjoyed the class :)
