Beautiful Life / Hip Kit Club

Happy Thursday, friends!  I wanted to share my newest layout for Hip Kit Club today :)  I used the 2019 September Hip Kits, which are phenomenal!  I used a lot of the Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical Powders on my background and paired it with one of the exclusive cut files for this month.

I began by choosing several patterned papers from the Main Kit that I could use for a rainbow color scheme.  I used white cardstock to cut the Beautiful Life cut file and then used the papers to back the letters.  I love that technique!  I chose one of the Pinkfresh Studio Office Hours papers as my background, and I coated a lot of it with gesso.  Once that dried, I used a lot of the Lindy's Tweedle Dee Denim Flat Magical Powder from the Color Kit.  I just sprinkled some powder onto the paper and used water and my brush to spread it around.  I applied several coats because it does dry a lot lighter.  I also added in some of the Glittering Gold and mixed it with a few other yellows from older kits as well as some older pink powders.  Once it all dried, I did use some gelatos from my stash to smudge in a few darker spots.

I love these bold blue shades!  I added some adhesive foam behind my cut file to raise it up off the page a bit.  I did a lot of fussy cutting...lots of flowers from one of the Dear Lizzy papers.  I scattered those around the cut file in a few places.  I also used a tiny heart stamp from the exclusive stamp set with a gold ink pad from my stash.

More fussy cut flowers and stamping as well as some hot pink tangled thread.  I also tucked in a floral die cut here from Pretty Little Studio and a Journaling Spot from Paige Evans Truly Grateful.  I wanted the "life" part of the cut file to stand out, so I pulled one of the Dear Lizzy papers and traced the word on to it.  I cut it out and glued it behind the cut file to create a fun shadow effect.

Here you can really see how fun the dimension is!

Here above the cut file I added in a few stickers and a Truly Grateful Puffy Phrase Sticker.  I love that matte gold color!

More flowers and stickers here...

I love this little sun puffy sticker...so cute!  It's from Truly Grateful.

And here come a lot more close-ups....

I really love how this turned out!  I hope it inspires you...these kits are so bright and beautiful.  There are so many possibilities with everything.  Be sure to check out my process video here for all the details:
