| Hi Everyone…
It is Kimberly here with you today, and I have a great card to share with you today that I created with our June Hip Kit. I made this card for my husband for Father’s Day and I love the way it turned out.
 Everything with the exception of the chipboard button on the top of the tag is included in our main kit for June. There are so many fun products to choose from and there are so many color combinations. The kraft cardstock gave my card a neutral background and enabled me to add bold patterns and colors without overpowering it.
The inspiration for my card was the “You Make the World Go Round” border from the “This & That” border paper. I also knew that I wanted to used one of the globes from the Studio Calico Destination paper. (I punched it out with a circle punch). I thought that a strip of the Jillibean-Soup 2 Parts Boy paper would coordinate well with the other elements.
With all of the blue and green, I needed some contrast and a way to make my sentiment stand out. The red tag from the Crate Paper Tag Cuts paper and the polaroid from the Studio Calico Numerical paper worked perfectly. I cut out the center of the polaroid which created a frame so that some of the color and details below would show through. To create my sentiment I used the Amy Tangerine Thickers, and the mini alphabet from Jillibean-Soup along with a portion of the border paper. I outlined the alphabet to make them stand out a bit more and I added pop dots behind the border. I finished off my card by adding some machine stitching and a couple of buttons.
I think that my card design could easily be used on a layout as a cluster of embellishments or to create a title. I hope showing you some fun ways to use the products included in your June Hip Kit has inspired you to create something wonderful of your own.
Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure to visit again tomorrow to see the next great project created with our June kit!
