Hey Hipster’s, Mandy Koeppen here with 2 new projects to share with you today. The first project to share is this 12×12 layout created with the awesome Shimelle pattern paper from our brand new August Hip Kit. I love all the Shimelle goodies in this kit. The colors & images are so inspiring and had my creative juices flowing as soon as I opened my package.
This particular paper I wanted to use really badly but it had the big initials running down on the left hand side of it. So, what was I going to do with it? TIP: cover that portion up with a 4″x10″ coordinating paper from the kit of course!
After I figured that part out, the only other thing that I stumbled with was figuring out where to place my title. I knew I wanted the title in the upper left side but it wasn’t working quite right. So, I decided to use a mix of the Thicker letters and the Shimelle mini alpha stickers found in our Main Kit. Ta-Da!!! It totally worked for me.
A few tickers layered with some paper strips and the layout was done. I always say it but I’m going to say it again…I love a simple and quick layout!

Simple and quick can be said about my second project… this card that I created with some scraps from my layout along with a a item mix of goodies from our August Kit & Main Embellishment Add-On Kit. I love these Shimelle Cork Stickers! The camera was so cute I had to use it! The Freckled Fawn “FUN” wood veneer word was a great option to finish off my sentiment.
So for this week here are a few tips:
-
Simple & Quick is good.
-
Cover it up if you can’t use it or don’t like it.
-
Mix those fonts up on your titles and sentiments
-
Always always have fun!
Thanks for joining me today! See you next week with another collection of projects featuring our August Hip Kits! Have a great weekend! xo~MK
