HK Memory Chest Kit Club - June 2015

Hi there. Here it is. The last kit of the 2014/2015 year, but no tears. We have even better news about the next HKMC scrapbook kit year.

The next kit year starts in September and will run for 12 months instead of the normal 10. Yay! That's a kit every month! Subscription is for one year and you can start your subscription any time.

Apart from the scrapbook kit, HKMC will also have a project kit each month; a separate kit for a project created by Belly Lau every month: a mini album, home decor or 3D paper craft.

Subscribe and pay before 15th June, you can benefit from the early bird discount of HK$2,980.00 for a twelve month subscription. After 15th June, the price goes back to the normal price of HK$3,160.00 for a twelve month subscription, so it pays to join early. Another option is to pay in two instalments of HK$1,670.00 (pay every half year). Subscription price is the same for both kits.

So, don't fret - the coming kit year will be even more exciting and jam-packed with goodies. Get more information here.

Here's the sketch this month:

Happy Besties

I love the bright summery colours in this kit and the fruit theme is just too cute. For the matt, I cut strips of paper into double ended banners. 

 I die cut the flowers and leaves out from the coloured vellum in the kit and coloured in with matching copic markers to give them more definition. I then layered them and dabbed on the glitter paste provided.

For the orange speech bubble, I gessoed and then painted on orange paint before adding gold glitter.

For this corner, I cut off a section and layered with vellum and washi tape.

Padi Trek

I kept this layout quite simple to let the photo pop better. 

I matted the photo with two layers of colour vellum. I splatter Mustard Yellow distress paint on the background paper.

 I stamped the yellow tag with a alphabet stamp for some pattern. I covered the 'love' in yellow distress paint before adding gold glitter glue.

So Pretty

 I love the pink background paper and the contrast with the green accents. I absolutely love the photo which was taken last summer.

 I die cut the circles from one of the papers and placed them across the page.

 The crocheted fruit comes in the kit and are such a cute addition to the page.

 I added a little yellow bow to the corner give a cute pop of colour.

Cuddles & Hugs

 For my final layout, I kept to a neutral background again to let the other summery colours pop.

 I clustered the elements on and around the tags.

I stenciled the petal mask on the background paper to look like water drops instead.

I love the gold sticker alphas and they come in large and small sizes.
