Hi, Hip Kit Friends! I’m Jana Eubank. It’s a new month of beautiful kits at Hip Kit Club! This month a new clear stamp set was released called the ‘Large Number Set’. I love the font of these numbers and they are the perfect size for stamping a year on a layout. In today’s video, I show you how to stamp a shadow layer using two different shades of ink. Check it out below!
HELLO 2022
The ‘Large Number Set’ also coordinates with the September ‘Number Background Stamp’. You can stamp the numbers inside of the outlined numbers, but for this layout, I opted to use them separate from one another. I used the Number Background Stamp on the base of my page to anchor my photos.
I stamped the Number Background Stamp in dark grey ink on the Holly Bush cardstock, then sprinkled a little of the Ruby Spritz (November Color Kit) before adding the photos. I tucked a couple of tabs in between the layers of one of my photos. The silver chipboard tab is from the November Embellishment Kit, and the stamped blush tab is from the November Pocket Life Kit.
The year made the perfect title for this layout about New Year’s Eve. To create the shadow stamping, I first stamped the year using the Do-Si-Do ink from the November Color Kit on white cardstock. Next, I stamped the same numbers on Post-It notes. I fussy cut the numbers out, then placed the sticky notes over the top of the numbers before stamping them again with the Skylight Ink (November Color Kit). To see this process in action, watch the process video on the Hip Kit Club YouTube channel.
It’s hard to tell from the photos, but I also painted each number with the opalescent Stardust Butter from the Color Kit so that the title would sparkle and shine. So pretty!
I always love to use florals on my layouts to break up the straight edges of photo mats and paper layers. These beautiful flowers were fussy-cut from the ‘Share the Love’ paper. I sprinkled shiny, silver foil star die-cuts (Cardstock Die-Cuts – November Main Kit) around each cluster.
To add a party atmosphere to my New Year’s Eve layout, I layered together several strips of patterned paper. Next, I used fringe scissors on the ‘It’s Better to Give’ patterned paper strips. Don’t they remind you of a pinata?! Love it!
The Large Number Stamps created the perfect title for this New Year’s Eve layout, but the numbers would also be fun to use on Christmas Countdowns, calendars, School layouts, and more. Pick up this stamp set in the Hip Kit Club store before they’re gone!
