The 'love' comes from Color Cast Designs January release "Into You" set which can be found here.
I made a process video if that something that suits your fancy!
I used several shades of blue Shimmerz Vibez for this layout (Snow Way Man, Cold as Ice, and Frost Bite). You can grab them here. If you mention my name at check out you will get a little extra something included in your order for free!
The flair I used came from the Phrases 1 Flair set. I love the messy circles on the flair!
Hi friends! Here to share my most recent assignment for Hip Kit Club -- and a process video. My assignment this week was to use the Main Kit only. I am using the 2018 January Main kit for this layout. I started with a gorgeous cut file by Kim Watson -- available under the cut files tab here.
I decided to go big or go home with this one and I cut it out as big as possible. Then I backed it with the rainbow Hip Kit Club Exclusive paper found in the main kit (also designed by Kim Watson). I cut the cut file into two parts so that I have it go off the edge of the paper on two sides.
I stitched around the flower cut file with several colors of floss -- and I love how that turned out!!!
To finish off the layout, I used the Hip Kit Club exclusive die cut ephemera -- and then fussy cut a few extra flowers from the opposite side of that rainbow paper. I also added a few black and white elements from the Vicki Boutin stickers included in the kit.
I also made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy.
Hi! Stopping by to share my layout for Sketch Friday using the 2018 January Hip Kit Club Kits. Here is my take on the sketch.
And here is Jessica's Sketch!
My most favorite item in the kits this month are these Hip Kit Club Exclusive Die Cuts designed by Kim Watson. They are found in the main kit. So I used almost all of them on this project!
I started by using the Distress Oxide inks included in the Color Kit to make a circle on my page. First I added a bit of water to the ink and used the packaging technique. When that dried, I used the inks and the stamp from the kit to stamp over the top!
I used several Vicki Boutin stickers to add pops of black and white throughout the layout as well. I like the way this brings out the black and white photo.
I also used a few of the AC translucent phrase stickers from PL kit.
Finally I used the Vicki Boutin phrase Thickers found in the Embellishment Kit for my title. I really like how this one turned out! I also made a video of my process if that suits your fancy!
Hi Friends! Hope the first week of 2018 has been kind to you! I'm here to share my Hip Kit Club assignment with you for this week. I got to work with the 2017 December Kits and a sketch by Irit Landgraf. Here is the sketch:
And here is my take on the sketch:
The December kits are full of items from Crate Paper's Good Vibes collection, Pink Fresh Studio stars, and Vicki Boutin's ephemera pack -- AND I USED THEM ALL! (well, not literally all of the embellishments, but several items from each pack)! 😀 As I was looking through the embellishments from both packs, I kept finding oranges and greens. And then I found this butterfly!
Those colors, the cork items, and this butterfly helped me find a color focus. There are so many items in the kits to use, it was nice to have a focus. 😀 I pulled out everything I could find in those colors and got busy. Scroll to the bottom for my process video, or continue if you want to read about it.
The layers in the sketch inspired me to create a LO with a ton of layers behind my photo. Die cuts, frames (love those frames) and stickers! I didn't use any patterned paper on this layout! Here are a couple more close ups:
For the title I used a die cut and a sticker -- Awesome Moments. And this was an awesome everyday moment. As much as I have enjoyed creating Christmas projects over the last couple of months, it was great to get back to scrapping the everyday moments that I love!
I made a video of my process if that suits your fancy!
Hi! I hope everyone has had a great holiday season! I am ready for 2018, are you? Today I am sharing a project that I made using the December 2017 Hip Kit Club kits and a HKC sketch by fellow DT member Anna Komenda. Here's the sketch:
I used one of the HKC Exclusive papers found in both the main kit and the paper add-on. Fellow DT member Irit Landgraf designed it and these flowers are divine! I'm not sure why I chose flowers for a boy layout with a Christmas-y theme (other than I love it) -- but it totally worked! My grandson is eating Christmas cookies -- and loving them. :-)
I replaced the snowflakes from the sketch with stars. There are tons of stars in this months kits. I used Pink Fresh Studio puffy stickers and also their stitched layered stars. I layered behind the photos with exclusive cards from the PL kit. I added a few extra splatters and sequins for good measure.
Here is a look at that exclusive paper by Irit .
For my title, I fussy cut "YAY" from a sticker on Crate Paper's Good Vibes sticker sheet included in the December PL kit. I used a die cut from the ephemera pack for the word "Delicious". And I did some more fussy cutting with a exclusive card included in the PL kit. "Day" is also from the Good Vibes collection and included in the Main kit. It was fun to put together all of the different font combinations for this title!
I also made a video of my process if that's something that suits your fancy.
Thanks a lot for stopping by! I will see you again soon -- on to a great 2018!
HI friends! Back again with another layout using the 2017 November Hip Kit Club kits. I have really enjoyed working with these kits and I still have so much left! This week my assignment was to work with a sketch. Here is my take on the sketch.
And here are a few close ups!
I also made a process video, if that suits your fancy!
I used quite a few Shimmerz products on this one! Next time you order Shimmerz from Shimmerz Paints, if you mention my name in the comment section, you will get a little surprise freebie in your order!
Thanks so much for stopping by! See you again soon!
Hi friends! Have you heard? Hip Kit Club is having 12 Days of Giving -- free cut files and printables each day for the first twelve days of December! Today is my day to participate in the blog hop.
The DT is sharing projects featuring the free goodies. I'm up for Day 10 with Michelle Whorwood, and we both have layouts showcasing today's free cut file designed by me!. You can get it for free over at the Hip Kit website under the Cut Files Tab. Here is my layout:
And here is the cut file that I used:
I used the Citron Green Distress Oxide from the November Color Kit to"paint" my background. I also used a blending tool and the stencil included in the kit to add a few subtle snowflakes to the background. I also used the same distress ink to create an ombre effect on the word "wishes" in my title.
As for the cut file, I backed several of the small candy canes and the title with patterned paper. Then after gluing them down a bit, I stitched with gold thread to make it look as if the candy canes are handing from thread.
Here are a couple of close ups:
There are so many exclusives in the November kits -- and I used a little from from most of them for this layout! This was so fun to make.
I also made a process video, if that suits your fancy!
Hi friends! I am up on the {a flair for buttons} blog today with this layout about my daughter starting piano lessons. I am using a whole bunch of leftovers from the October Hip Kit Club Kits, some lovely pieces from Color Cast Designs October release and two pieces of {a flair for buttons} flair. Here is my layout:
For my title I used the word "REMEMBER" from Color Cast Designs' Twinkling Lights Set, along with Thickers from the October Embellishment kit by Hip Kit Club and the word dream was from Maggie Holmes that I had in my stash! I sprinkled around a few hearts from the Confetti Mix that was part of the October release from Color Cast Designs.
I also made a process video, if that suits your fancy!
Hi friends! I'm sharing the layout I made this past week for Hip Kit Club. This is my first layout using the November kits -- and they are fantastic. My assignment was to use a cut file. And I LOVE the cut files this month. Here's a look a my project.
The photos were taken last year, Christmas Eve, and she was so excited that Santa would soon be here. Here is a close up of that gorgeous cut file:
I added lots of layers behind my photo. There is so much awesome in the kits this month that it was easy to find lots of elements to layer behind my photo. A couple more close ups:
And I made a process video, if that suits your fancy!
