Hip Kit Club | Coconut Slushie

Hi everyone!  I've got a new layout to share with you today for Hip Kit Club!  This is my 5th layout using the March 2015 Hip Kit & Add-On Kits, and I've still got a ton of product left to use!  This week when I went through my March Kit & Add-On Kits, I knew I wanted to use several of the patterned papers.  These kits are so full of goodies, that even on my 5th layout for this month, I still had so much to choose from!  The first paper I pulled out to work with is from the Dear Lizzy Serendipity collection.  I loved the two shades of Pink on the Plus patterned paper and knew it would coordinate with the color in my photo.  And I wanted to do something fun with it, other than just using it as is on my layout.  So I decided to cut larger Plus shapes from the paper, and arrange them in a vertical design on my layout, above and below my photo!

Once I had an idea of how I would arrange my photo and the Plus shapes, I decided to add some more of the patterned papers to the outer edges of the White cardstock, from the Cardstock Add-On Kit.  I chose the We R Memory Keepers Pink text paper and two of the patterned papers from Crate Paper.  I cut different sized strips from the three papers and then stitched through the two on the outer edges.

Since my layout took on a vertical design, I also arranged my title vertically.  I used the Everyday Thickers from the March Embellishment Add-On to create my title, alongside the photo.  And I wanted to add in one more pattern, so I fussy cut some of the cut flowers from the My Mind's Eye Garden Party patterned paper.  I kept the embellishments a little more minimal on this layout, since I used so many patterns and colors, but I still managed to use some of the Crate Paper chipboard pieces, MME Enamel Dots, Elle's Studio Wood Venner and a tag from the March Project Life Add-On!

Thanks for stopping by today, and if you missed out on any of the March Kits, make sure you visit the Hip Kit Club shop, to purchase the new April 2015 Hip Kits!

Hip Kit Club | Two Layouts & a Process Video

I am seriously in LOVE with the March 2015 Hip Kit & Add-On Kits from Hip Kit Club!  This Kit is A-MAZ-ING!!  The March Kit included the first PL Kit, and even though I’m not a Project Lifer, this Add-On is perfect for incorporating into your other projects.  I mixed in items from the PL Kit, with the other Kits to create some fun layouts!  First up is my “M & E” layout, which also has a Process Video to go along with it.

I had so much fun with this layout!!  I used a lot of the Crate Paper, Pinkfresh Studio and Elle’s Goodies from the Kits.  And I just knew I had to start out with that wood grain patterned paper!  I also wanted to play with the fun Stencils included in the March Color Kit, so I mixed some of the Dylusions Yellow spray mist with a Heavy Gel Medium and used a spatula to spread the mixture over the Circles Small stencil.

The Handmade paper is another fun pattern from Crate Paper, that is included in the March 2015 Main Kit. I cut out the cute string art letters and used them to create the title on my layout.  To add a little bit more texture and interest to the fussy cut letters, I stitched with some coordinating embroidery floss.  You can check out my newest Process Video, to see how I created the full layout!

Next up is my “Toothless & Toothless” layout!  I fidgeted with this one a lot at the beginning, because I knew I wanted to use the Crate Paper multi-colored triangle patterned paper, but just couldn’t figure out how I wanted it on my layout.  Once I got the two large off-set triangle shapes cut and placed on the background paper, everything fell into place pretty easily.

After I decided on the title, Toothless & Toothless, it gave me the idea to get all of the fun Ampersands included in the kits and use them as part of my title, but also as a design element on my page.

I layered some of the PL cards behind my photo and used the cute Alison Kreft alpha stickers to create my title.  I added some machine stitching, wood veneers and cork embellishments for another layer of texture on my layout.
