Hi everyone!
New week – new challenge!
This week is all about monochromatic. For this layout I used the two great March 2021 and April 2021 Hip Kits. Exclusive part from the March 2021 Hip Kits perfectly matched the April 2021 Hip Kits.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
I chose the B-side of the Amy Tangeringes “Monarch” paper from the Brave + Bold collection ( April 2021 Main Hip Kit ) and matched the embellishments to it.
I trimmed the paper to a size of 3.5 x 6 inches 2x.
Then, I used the different color coordinating embellishments and decorated my two pieces of paper.
From the March 2021 Pocket Life Kit I used the Puffy Stickers flowers and hearts and from the chipboard the cuts the color matching parts. From the stickers from the March 2021 Pocket Life Kit were color matching – for example, the great “amazing” lettering.
From the April 2021 Pocket Life Kit I have used the various color matching stickers from Maggie Holmes from the collection “Garden Party”.
It’s hard for me to describe exactly how I put my embellishments together in this layout. I lay everything out first and then start arranging the individual elements on my paper. I lay down, take away, move … until I am satisfied and then I start to glue them on.
Stickers I stick first on a white paper and then cut them out. So I can think about where I want to put the sticker(s).
I usually stick my elements with 3D dots to bring some deepness to my layout.
After gluing on the various embellishments, I cut six small 2 x 0.5 inch cutouts on each of my white cardstock ( 3 on each side ) so I can slide the papers on (interactive element).
Then I wrote my text on Vellum, adhered it to a 2 x 6 inch wide piece of paper from the March 2021 Main Hip Kit – B-Side Pretty Sweet “Fantasy” and attached it between the cutouts with double sided tape.
Now comes the tricky part! Then I placed the two “doors” on top of the layout, flipped everything over together, and then glued 3D dots to both paper elements in the paper cutouts. I always glue the dots on twice so that the element can also be pushed really well. To fix the whole thing then I glued each 2 pieces of paper.
I think I will share a little video in the Hip Kit Club Facebook group, so you see and understand what I mean or how I did it.
Last but not least I added a flower, a tag, some leaves and enamel dots here and there.
