CLASS: Devotion Pop-up Layouts

It's a New Year and back to work for me.

In 2012 I will be teaching once a month at Scrapp'n Savvy in Spring, TX. This month's project is layouts, February is cards, and March will be a pop-up mini-album. 

To register for the classes, visit the Scrapp'n Savvy website. This first class, the Devotion Pop-up Layouts Class, will be offered next Friday, January 13th, in three sessions. The morning one is full. The other two have spots available.

Both layouts use the IOD Devotion paper line, from Creative Imaginations and Bazzill cardstock.

The first layout features two cards that are arranged with opposite folds (gate style) and stay closed with a decorative butterfly closure.

Spin the oval to release the cards:

Next, bring the two brown pieces up to the center and they will stick together using hidden magnets:

Two Floating Frame sculptures pop up. The Floating Frames Pop-up Die is currently out of stock at Sizzix, but the store will have them for sale after class on Friday!

Here is a close-up of my journaling:

I used pictures of my daughter, but this layout is suitable for more than just feminine subjects. It would make a great Love, Family or Gardening layout.

The second layout we will make in class is:

You can definitely add more than just one picture to the front of this layout if you prefer. Open the card and watch what happens!

The Spinning Platform die is used to bring up another photo frame! There is plenty of space for additional photos and journaling inside the card:

The kit will include all materials to make the two single-page layouts shown above, which can be used together to make a spread.

Another option is to purchase the pop-up dies and extra paper in the store (your handout will include a shopping list) and re-make both layouts again, turning each of them into double-page spreads. Here is how they will look if you double them:

For the second layout, I repeated the same design, but simply reversed the fold location and the swapped the two decorative frames.

Here are the items that you should bring to class:

• Scissors & Trimmer
• Favorite dry and wet adhesives - tape runner and fine-line glue pen
• Strong adhesives - red liner tacky tape or scor-tape, mini glue dots
• Pencil and Ruler
• Paper Piercer
• Bone Folder
• Crop-a-Dile (if you have one)
• Mini-stapler and staples (Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher is my favorite!)
• Optional: (2) 12x12 Page Protectors, a cutting mat that will fit inside the page protector, and a craft knife (This is for altering your page protectors so the layouts can be opened inside an album)

Other upcoming class dates at Scrapp'n Savvy are:

Friday, February 10th - morning, afternoon and evening sessions - Pop-up Cards (photos coming soon!)

Saturday, March 3rd - morning and afternoon sessions - Pop-up Mini-Album (photos coming soon!)

Hope to see you there!

EDITED TO ADD: Lizzie asked about the third sessions because they aren't showing up on the SS website yet. The evening session will be 7:00 - 9:30 pm for both this Friday, January 13th (Layouts class) and Friday, February 10th (cards class). Call the store to register.
