Products Used in This Project

September 2025 Main Kit with Patterned Paper

The September 2025 Main Kit serves as the foundation for this beautiful layout. Featuring a selection of coordinated patterned papers in seasonal colors and designs, this kit provides the perfect canvas for creating eye-catching backgrounds. The papers blend harmoniously to create depth and interest in your scrapbooking projects. Each sheet has been carefully selected to complement the other elements in the September kits, making it easy to create cohesive layouts even if you're a beginner. The high-quality papers cut cleanly with both electronic and manual die-cutting machines, which is essential for the technique demonstrated in Daniela's video.

September 2025 Embellishment Kit

The September 2025 Embellishment Kit adds those perfect finishing touches that take a scrapbook layout from good to great. This comprehensive collection includes dimensional elements like enamel dots, chipboard stickers, and other decorative pieces that complement the die-cut background technique featured in the video. Each embellishment has been designed exclusively for the Hip Kit Club and coordinates perfectly with the other September kits. These embellishments provide texture, dimension, and visual interest that enhance the die-cut background without overwhelming it. Daniela strategically places these elements to draw attention to her photo and create a balanced, professional-looking composition.

September 2025 Fancy Edge Metal Die Set

The star of Daniela's layout is the September 2025 Fancy Edge Metal Die Set. This versatile metal die collection features intricate edge designs that can transform ordinary paper into extraordinary backgrounds, borders, and decorative elements. Made from durable steel, these dies work with all popular die-cutting machines and produce clean, precise cuts every time. The Fancy Edge set includes multiple designs with varying levels of detail, allowing you to create anything from subtle texture to dramatic statement pieces. As demonstrated in the video, these dies can be used to create custom backgrounds that frame photos beautifully and add professional flair to your scrapbooking projects.

September 2025 Pocket Life Kit

The September 2025 Pocket Life Kit provides additional versatility to your scrapbooking arsenal. While designed primarily for pocket-style memory keeping, Daniela demonstrates how these elements can be incorporated into traditional layouts as well. The kit includes pocket cards and ephemera shapes that coordinate perfectly with the main kit and embellishments. These pre-designed elements make it easy to add journaling spots, decorative accents, and thematic elements to your projects. The pocket cards can be trimmed down or used whole, while the ephemera pieces add instant visual interest. This kit is perfect for layering with die-cut pieces to create dimension and tell your story with style.

Scrapbooking Tips and Techniques

When creating die-cut backgrounds like Daniela demonstrates, keep these helpful tips in mind:

• Layer with purpose: Use die-cut pieces at varying heights to create depth and dimension
• Mix and match: Combine different die designs for more visual interest
• Think beyond borders: Die cuts can create full backgrounds, not just edges
• Consider negative space: Sometimes the cutout portion is just as useful as the die-cut itself
• Use a light touch with adhesive: Apply adhesive only to parts of intricate die-cuts to maintain their delicate appearance

The technique Daniela showcases is perfect for those looking to get more use out of their metal die collection. By using die-cuts as background elements rather than just accents, you maximize the value of your Hip Kit Club subscription and create truly unique layouts that stand out in your albums.
