My Heart / Hip Kit Club

Hey, friends!  I have a new layout to share for Hip Kit Club using the new 2019 September Hip Kits!  I know I say this every month, but they are SO gorgeous!  The new Dear Lizzy She's Magic collection is beautiful, and we get a lot of that this time around. 

To start this page, I began with a bright diagonal striped Dear Lizzy paper.  I went punch crazy and punched lots of different sized squares.  I decided to create a vertical design with the squares and layered them in the center of the background paper.  I went with a light blue cardstock from the Cardstock Kit as my base.  I coated a lot of the center area with white gesso first and let it dry.  I pulled out some of the Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical Powders to add color on top of the gesso.  I used several pinks from previous Color Kits as well as the new Cocklebells Coral from this month's Color Kit.

Once the color was dry on the background, I arranged the squares like I wanted them.  I glued them down and then wanted to add some gold.  I machine stitched in a small zig zag pattern matching the diagonal patterns on the squares.  I popped up some of the squares using adhesive foam.  I added some Dear Lizzy heart stickers, some Truly Grateful puffy dot stickers, and some Pinkfresh Studio light blue enamel dots around the page.

I fussy cut these flowers from another Dear Lizzy paper, and they are gorgeous!  I layered them around the photo and then tucked in another floral Dear Lizzy sticker.  I also did some embossing.  I used a few of the Dear Lizzy stamps.  I stamped them on vellum and then used gold embossing powder.  I fussy cut them out and used them as little embellishments around the page.  I love the pop of gold they give!

I added in a few more leaf die cuts from the Pretty Little Studio die cut pack.  This fun flair button is also from Pretty Little Studio, and it matches perfectly.

I love how messy and imperfect the embossed hearts turned out.  Vellum is so fun because it's subtle, but it also makes a statement.  Here you can also see more stamping...I used one of the exclusive stamps that looks like stitching here.  I used a gold ink pad from my stash.  The gold splatters I added are from the Lindy's Glittering Gold Powder from this month's Color Kit.

This gold shimmery goodness never gets old!  Always so pretty :)

I went small with my title.  I used some of the Truly Grateful puffy word stickers.

Here are a few more close-ups of all the details :)

I had a lot of fun making this...I hope it inspires you in some way!  Have you gotten your September Kits yet?  You will be in awe of all the gorgeousness!
