Hi everyone, Anke here with a new layout inspiration for Hip Kit Club featuring the February Hip Kits and some of the exclusive subscriber cut files.

 

 

I chose the “Umbrella” cut file (February 2022) and the “Floral Heart” cut file (April 2022) and cut them from white cardstock. I backed them with pieces of the Hip Kit Club Exclusive – Love Always – Sweet Things paper and the Pinkfresh Studio – Happy Heart – Sunny & Bright paper. Then I cut off some strips from the Hip Kit Club  Exclusive – Essential Solids – Cloud paper, which is included in the February Cardstock Kit and applied modeling paste using the stencil from the February Color Kit.

 

 

Once the paste was dry I rolled one end of the paper strips , teared off the other end and glued the strips on my layout. On this background I placed my umbrellas.I cut out the head of my dog Alfred from a photo and tucked it behind the umbrella so it looks like Alfred is sitting in the umbrella.

 

 

I didn’t use the whole “Floral Heart” cut file. I just cut off the floral part and placed it underneath the umbrella

 

 

 

Then I cut out some clouds from white cardstock using metal dies and added them to the other umbrella. I also added a puffy cloud from the Pinkfresh Studio  Happy Heart Puffy Shapes pack which is included in the February Embellishment Kit. Then I picked out a border from the Hip Kit Club Exclusive – Love Always – Clear Stickers pack, which is also included in the February Embellishment Kit, cut it into small pieces and added these pieces to the paper strips in the background of my layout. It looks a bit like stitching and I really like this effect.

 

 

I continued embellishing the layout  with some die cut and fussy cut flowers and butterflies and some word stickers and die cuts. Then I added the title using the Hip Kit Club Exclusive – Love Always – Puffy Ombre Alphabet Stickers which are included in the February Main Kit.

 

 

Finally I added some hand stitched elements , some enamel dots and a puffy butterfly. The enamel dots are also included in the February Main Kit.

 

 

 

I’m really happy with how my layout turned out. I hope you like it too and feel inspired to use some  cut files on your next project.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day.
