Hip Kit Club | Sweet Smiles & Card

I'm back today, to share a new layout and card with the January Kit from Hip Kit Club!  I am really blown away by how much is in each of the kits and how well they mix together to create awesome projects!!  Up first is my layout, using a mix of Crate Paper and American Crafts.

I love to use geometric shapes on my layouts, so I thought it would be fun to add some large triangles behind my photo on this layout design.  I used my CAMEO to cut the triangle shapes from the Crate Paper and American Crafts papers included in the January Kit.  The triangles are cut to 2.75x3 inches.  Once I had the triangles in place, I added my photo, embellishments and title.  I also wanted to add just a touch of texture, so I stitched around the Teal triangles.

 
I decided to go for a more simple design on this card, and used the White cardstock from the kit, as my base.  I used my CAMEO to create a positive and negative effect with the heart shapes, and also used it to cut the word Hello for part of my sentiment.  The Studio Calico Wood Veneer alphas in the January Kit are perfect for cards, because they are so light weight and small.  They worked perfectly to complete the sentiment on my card.

I will have one more upcoming post using the January Kit, and then the new Team will start revealing projects with the February Kits, soon!  The February kits have now been sold out, so if you are interested in purchasing monthly kits, please stop by the Hip Kit Club website to check out subscription information!
