Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit part 4

Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit.
The kit makes 3 1/2" x 5" cards. I use 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards so since the kit shows layouts for 20 cards I am showing them stepped up to fit the card size I use. You can buy the card kit here

So I cut the cardstock from the kit in half(poke a dot paper) and built the card as the layout showed. I layered it on Whisper White CS and Baked Brown Sugar CS base.

The next card uses the other half of the poke a dot paper and the same layout

The layered circles were cut with the Circle Collection Framelits, found here. The hearts are cut with the Circle Card Thinlits, found here. The arrow is cut from Label Card Thinlits, found here.

Over the next few post I will share cards I made using the kit. The kit makes 3 1/2"x5" cards. I use 4 1/4"x5 1/2" cards so since the kit shows layouts for 20 cards I am showing them stepped up to fit the card size I use. Kit can be bought here.

So I cut the cardstock from the kit in half(grid paper) and built the card as the layout showed. I layered it on Whisper White CS and Baked Brown Sugar CS base.

So with the second half of the grid paper I made a card with the same layout.

The thank you is from Happy Watercolor, found here. The framelit is from Word Bubbles Framelits, found here. The star cutout is from Circle Card Thinlits found here. The arrow is from Label Card Thinlits found here.

Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit part 1

Stampin' Up has released early a card kit that will be in the upcoming annual catalog. The kit is called "Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit" the cost is $19.95. I ordered one and have decided that it is worth the cost. You get the supplies for 20 cards. You can buy the kit here.

• The kit includes:
• Cardstock and envelopes for 20 cards
• Twine, clip and adhesive die cut embellishments
• 3 clearmount stamps and a block(not the same blocks that are in the catalog)
• Stampin Dimensionals
• Basic Gray Ink Spot
• A full colored brochure with instructions/layouts for 20 cards.

Over the next few post I will share cards I made using the kit. The kit makes 3 1/2"x5" cards. I use 4 1/4"x5 1/2" cards so since the kit shows layouts for 20 cards I am showing them stepped up to fit the card size I use.

So I cut the cardstock from the kit in half(grid paper) and built the card as the layout showed. I layered it on Whisper White CS and Crumb Cake CS base.

Inside:

On a scrap of Whisper White CS I stamped a phrase from Itty Bitty Banners using Calypso Coral ink cutting it out with the corresponding Framelit, I used the star from the Thinlits to cut stars from Pistachio Pudding and Calypso Coral.
