Description

Do your pages ever feel like they’re missing… something?

Maybe your backgrounds look a little flat.
Maybe your shadows aren’t quite giving you the depth you want.
Maybe you’re staring at your stash thinking,
I know there’s more I could do with this…

Or maybe you’re simply craving a creative spark,
something fun, fresh, and inspiring that doesn’t take hours to figure out.

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Introducing Stacked Papers
A playful, practical class by Syndee Rogers

Stacked Papers shows you how to create versatile templates
and stacked paper designs that instantly add depth,
dimension, and personality to your scrapbook pages.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned scrapper,
you’ll learn techniques that:
• kickstart your creativity
• speed up your workflow
• help you use your stash in exciting new ways
• build your confidence with every lesson

This class is all about making Photoshop feel fun, approachable, and full of possibility.

Lesson 1: Basically Stacked

Start your stacked paper journey
by creating a template with editable layers.
That way we can create stacked papers to match your photos
or extend our kits! 

Though it may appear simple, our template will act as the
foundation for many variations of papers and templates.

Practice your rotation skills: learn how moving and modifying
layers can quickly change the look of your template and how to
easily change the angle of your layers.

Lesson 2: Dress It Up

I’ll start off by walking you through using the document we created in
the last lesson to create a digital paper.
Rotating patterned papers to match your template layers is also covered.

I’ll also show you how to use it
as a layout template for more versatility.

Lesson 2b: Fast Frames

Save time using a custom style to quickly create
editable framed photo masks!

Adding framed photo masks to your stacked paper templates
can act as placeholders for your layouts.

Lesson 3: Stack It Up

Next, continue your stacked paper journey by creating a template
with more layers and versatility. 

Add one of the many drop shadows included in the custom class styles set
to your template or paper layers.

Lesson 4: Tips and Techniques

This lesson covers helpful tips and techniques to help you get the
most out of the templates created in this class.

Lesson 5: Elevated Paper Techniques

There is beauty in simplicity.

Create a template that may seem simple but is the foundation for two
techniques that can really elevate papers, templates, and more.

Use a custom action to quickly create a lifted template layer.

Next, use a custom brush and a layer mask to add a
non-destructive torn edge.

Lesson 6: Stack, Tuck, and Cluster

In this lesson, you will find additional ideas on using
and creating stacked papers and templates.

Using the same techniques taught in the previous lessons,
we can create cluster templates!

These templates take the guesswork out of the placement of elements
and papers, making cluster composition fun.
