Today, we're diving into a fantastic YouTube video by the talented Nicole Santos for the Hip Kit Club. She's the guest designer for June, and boy, does she have some crafty magic to share with us! 🎨✂️🖌️

Hi everyone, Anke here with a new mixed media layout inspiration for the Hip Kit Club featuring the April 2023 Hip Kits. I created a fun layout with rolled paper strips and a background made with modeling paste and the stencil, which is included in the April Color Kit.  

Today, we're diving into a delightful scrapbooking adventure with the one and only Jana Eubank. Let's get our creative juices flowing, shall we?

In this video, Jana shares a layout from the HipKit Club's April 2023 kit. She's been inspired by the design team's scraplifting challenge and has decided to join in the fun. But instead of copying a layout by Sophie DeLorme, she's putting her own spin on it. She's documenting her daughter's summer fun at a girls' camp, complete with water toys and a pool.

Jana's absolutely smitten with the April 2023 kit's colors, especially a paper with a blue wash of paint that reminds her of water. She's creating a water-themed scrapbook page and has layered two photos together on a strip of paper. She's adding tags to the page and layering them in a shingle style pattern.

She's also paying attention to the color of the printed reinforcement on the tags. She's trying to find a balance of colors and textures, using different weights of white twine. She's also using products from a main kit and an embellishment kit, and creating floral clusters to lead the eye towards the title of the page.

Jana's using cornflour cardstock to match the colors of the layout. She's using various embellishments, including navy chipboard letters and die cuts, to create clusters on the page. She's also considering adding a third cluster in the top right corner of the photo strip.

She came across a phrase that says "more life less rush" which she plans to use on the page. The phrase fits nicely between the flowers at the bottom left of the page. She's also adding teal chipboard hearts to the right of the title and clusters of chipboard hearts throughout the page.

Jana wraps up her project by adding computer-generated journaling strips to the left of the title. She thanks Sophie for inspiring her to create the page and encourages readers to order the Hip Kit Club and subscribe to the kit.

So, are you ready to dive into your own scrapbooking adventure? Grab your kit, get inspired, and let's create something beautiful together!

In this video, Elisa Fornezza takes us through a detailed process of creating a layout using the April 2023 Hip Kits. The video showcases how to effectively use the Main Kit, the Embellishment Kit, and the Project Life Kit.

Elisa's inspiration for this layout comes from the May moodboard, and she's scrap lifted a layout made by Anke Kramer. The result is a visually appealing layout that showcases the versatility of the Hip Kits.

Whether you're an experienced scrapbooker or a beginner, this video is a valuable resource. It's not just about following along; it's about understanding the process, the choices, and the creativity that goes into making a layout.

So, if you're looking to explore the world of scrapbooking, or if you're just looking for some creative inspiration, this video is worth a watch. And who knows, you might find yourself reaching for your own Hip Kit before the video ends.

Hey there, crafty friends! 🎨 Today, we're diving into a delightful video by the talented Mary-Ann Maldonado, where she's creating a stunning layout using the April 2023 kits from Hip Kit Club. Buckle up, because we're about to get crafty!

In this video, Mary-Ann is using the main kit and the embellishment kit, along with a gorgeous cut file called "Wild Flowers". The layout features some adorable pictures of her mom, sister, and herself on Mother's Day. She's got the cut file bordering at the bottom of her layout, and she's colored the flowers in a variety of hues from her past kits. The only colors she had to bring in were yellow and black, all to honor her mom's favorite flower, the Black Eyed daisies. 🌼

Now, here's a fun fact: Mary-Ann's Silhouette sticky sheet was too new, making it a bit tricky to get the cut file off. So, a little tip from her to you: go for a less tacky mat if you can, it'll make your life a lot easier!

Moving on, she's tucked her flowers into the wildflower display at the bottom, added some foam tape for dimension, and framed the pictures with beautiful frames from the kit. She's also added embellishments that fit the theme of her layout and coordinated with the color options.

The title of the layout? A simple yellow label. Sometimes, less is more, right? She's also added a strip at the top of the layout for a little extra something, and used an old black marker to add some finishing touches.

And voila! A beautiful, personalized layout that's as unique as it is charming. But remember, go slow and enjoy the process. After all, crafting is all about having fun!

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your kits and get crafting! And don't forget to share your beautiful creations with us. Happy crafting! 🎉

There you are, staring at your supplies. They’re beautiful, but you’re unsure about how to get going on your next scrapbook page. Give a mood board challenge a try! Hi, friends! I'm Jana Eubank. Today I’m sharing my latest layout using the May Mood Board Challenge from the Hip Kit Club Facebook Group. Want to play along? Add your layout to the May Mood Board challenge album by June 2nd for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Hip Kit Club store!

How do you use a mood board? Well, that is up to you! Look at the photos on the mood board and use the colors, shapes, and textures to guide your design decisions. Watch the video below, where I will explain how I used the April 2023 Hip Kits and this mood board to create the ‘Mermaid Tale’ layout shown below.

I began this page with the top three photos of the mood board as inspiration. I loved the purple and blue colors mixed with many florals spilling out of the baskets and buckets around the bicycle. I decided to create a column of photos surrounded by lots of soft, pretty flowers.

Before assembling my layout, I used the two photos in the bottom-right corner of the mood board as inspiration to add tonal stamping to the background paper. Here you can see where I used the Coffee Stain stamp and the Mini Postage Stamp Texture stamp (April Embellishment Kit) on the purple patterned paper.

I stacked my photos and then used florals created with the October 2022 Color Kit along with black and white floral die-cuts (April Main Kit) and clear stickers (April Embellishment Kit) to spill out from behind. (NOTE: The stamped florals were left over from my last Hip Kit Club layout – watch the video HERE if you’d like to see how I made these flowers using inks, embossing ink, and drips of water & paint.)

I also added pieces of flowers along the top-right edge of the page. The flower centers are dotted with the Lemon Twist Nuvo Drops from the April 2023 Color Kit.

To the right of my photos column, I used a 6×4 Journal Card from the April Pocket Life Kit to house my title and journaling. I was inspired by fellow design team member, Sophie Delorme, to add the Pixie Wings Nuvo Glacier Paste (April Color Kit) to the navy chipboard letters (April Main Kit) for a shimmery, mermaid feel. I also dabbed the Glacier Paste onto several of the flowers.

Below the journaling I added a section of scalloped patterned paper because it reminded me of fish scales, tying into the theme of my page.

All the elements together create a layout that makes you feel like you’re swimming through an underwater seascape. I love it!
