Welcome to another fun-filled scrapbooking adventure with our guest designer Nicole. Today, we're diving into the delightful world of the May 2023 Hip Kits. So, grab your scissors, your favorite cardstock, and let's get crafting!

Nicole kicks things off with a technique that's all the rage - fussy cutting! She's working with the mango and lime cardstock pages and the stroll in the meadow page from the main kit. But wait, there's a twist! She switches gears and goes for the mango and berry colors instead, creating a vibrant layout featuring the Let's Find Sunshine page.

(0) LET'S CREATE WITH TAGS & FLOWERS | APRIL 2023 KITS | JANA EUBANK

 

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!

(0) CREATE WITH A SCRAPLIFT & MIXED KITS | SARAH MILLERHOUSE | 2023 HIP KITS

 

Hey there, crafty friends! 🎨

Welcome to another exciting adventure in the world of scrapbooking! Today, we're diving into the creative universe of Sarah Millerhouse, who's sharing her new layout inspired by the talented Morag Cutts. Sarah's taken Morag's beautiful layout and added her own unique twist, using elements from different kits to create a page that's truly her own.

Sarah's layout is a masterclass in layering and texture. She's used a patterned paper from the March main kit and added elements from different kits to create a stunning, realistic-looking bouquet. She's even added craft foam behind some elements for that extra bit of dimension. It's like a 3D movie, but for scrapbooking!

But the creativity doesn't stop there. Sarah's also used a stamp and archival ink to mimic a similar layout she'd seen before, adding coffee stains and other wet mediums to create a unique look. She's even used shimmer paints and other products to add depth and interest to the project. It's like she's got a magic wand, but instead of casting spells, she's creating scrapbooking masterpieces!

Sarah's also shared some handy tips and tricks for creating a similar layout. She's cautioned against using black ink that is water-soluble with wet mediums, recommending archival ink instead. She's also suggested ordering main kits to have a variety of elements to use in layouts. It's like having a scrapbooking toolbox at your fingertips!

In her process of creating a scrapbook page, Sarah's used materials from various kits, hand-cutting some elements and distressing the edges for texture. She's used fabric pieces, journaling blocks, frames, and chipboard frames to create depth and draw attention to the photos. It's like she's building a scrapbooking skyscraper, with each layer adding more and more interest.

Sarah's also added craft foam to her photos to make them the same level as the chipboard frames, and then added more craft foam behind the photos before setting them up on top. She's used cheap craft foam from local craft stores and added her own adhesive, using a combination of wet and dry adhesive and a little touch of glue to all elements that are stickers. It's like she's a scrapbooking architect, carefully constructing each element to create a cohesive design.

Finally, Sarah's added small details to her scrapbook pages, such as foam epoxy dots and Nouveau drops, to add texture and interest.
