The November 2014 Hip Kit & Add-On Kits, includes one of my favorite layout accessories…TAGS! I decided to mix the American Crafts Bits Tags and Elle’s Studio Good Cheer Tags, to create a banner look across my page. I laid out the tags, to find out a size for my photo and once I had my photo printed, I attached the tags and photo across the page. Then I used my sewing machine to stitch across the top of each tag. I embellished with some of the Elle’s Studio wood veneers, Pink Paislee stickers, Studio Calico rub-ons and one of the Evalicious Flair Buttons. And I used the American Crafts Candy Cane Thickers, for the title of my page.

I’m always so excited to see the alpha options in each month’s new Hip Kit! The November 2014 Hip Kit & Add-On Kits, includes four alpha options. I thought it would be fun to mix them for the sentiment on my card. I used the Candy Cane and Buckaroo Thickers, along with the Elle’s Studio Gray letter stickers, to create the Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas sentiment on my card. I cut my White cardstock base at 4.5×9 inches, to create a square shaped card. And to add a little twinkle, I layered some of the Studio Calico star rub-ons in the background, before adding my Thickers and letter stickers.
