Hello Hip Kit friends !!

 

It’s Sophie on the blog today sharing my first layout with the December 2020 kits !

 

 

My assignment today was to use the stamps and stencils from the December kits and to use the Chipboard Tags and Acetate Die Cuts from the December Pocket Life kit.

 

I chose my photo and picked up what I had in mind to start my page, as seen here:

 

 

But first I created my background with the HKC Exclusive – Keeping Cozy – Stencil Set from the December Color kit. As seen below, I applied dry ink in a step by step process on thick smooth white cardstock through the stencil to create a beautiful plaid pattern.

 

 

 

 

I also stamped a few snowflakes from the Stamp kit, some of which are heat embossed, that I fussy cut to add as embellishments on the layout. 

 

 

I added tissue paper and adhesive foam to my photo and wanted to use the lovely acetate scalloped borders on and beneath my photo. As they are metallic, they are difficult to photograph and that’s why one of them appears pink instead of silver on the main photo of my  page…

 

 

I added clusters of silver snowflakes with some HKC Exclusive Keeping Cozy White Puffy Leaf Stickers (Embellishment kit), the stamped snowflakes and a beautiful Ephemera Die Cut of a dog and a cat on two diagonal corners of my photo. 

 

 

Finally, I wrote down my journaling and stamped the date. 

 

Here are more close-ups.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I inspired you today ! Thank you so much for stopping by !

 

 Until next time,
