What's Inside the April 2026 Hip Kit Collection
1. Explore the Patterned Papers Front and Back ▶ Watch
Jana kicks things off by laying out the patterned papers from the April 2026 Paper Kit two at a time so you can see both the front design and the reverse side together. This is such a smart way to plan your projects because you get double the design options from every single sheet. She starts with a paper called Chevron Ahead featuring a delightful stripe on the front and a sandy peach dot pattern on the back, showing you the scale and colors up close.
2. Discover the Travel-Themed Paper Designs ▶ Watch
As Jana works through the paper collection, she highlights standout designs perfect for vacation and adventure pages. Papers like It's Time to Go feature airplane tickets, cameras, passports, and suitcases on a pink background, while Under the Stars has an adorable camping scene with mountains and a night sky. Jana points out which papers from the April 2026 Paper Kit are perfect for fussy cutting and which ones work beautifully as full backgrounds.
3. Unbox the Embellishment Kit Goodies ▶ Watch
The April 2026 Embellishment Kit comes packed with seven different types of embellishments, and Jana starts by showing off the first set of puffy stickers with 68 solid icon shapes. You get arrows, concentric circles, hearts, travel icons like a cute pizza slice, a globe, a coffee cup, a bicycle, and a travel bag. She also reveals the puffy alphabet stickers in a fun matte blue block style that are about three-quarters of an inch tall, perfect for creating titles on your layouts.
4. Check Out the Silver-Foiled Cardstock Die Cuts ▶ Watch
Jana spreads out all 49 pieces of cardstock die cuts from the April 2026 Embellishment Kit, and tons of them feature gorgeous silver foiling accents. There is a cityscape with shiny little windows, phrases like "adventure is calling" and "every trip tells a story," plus fun shapes like a hot air balloon, a skateboard, a camera, sneakers, and a bicycle. These are perfect finishing pieces for any travel or adventure themed project.
5. See the Cardstock Kit Color Palette ▶ Watch
The April 2026 Cardstock Kit includes 16 sheets in eight beautiful colors, and Jana flips through each one. You get two sheets of every color, which is perfect for double-page layouts. The colors include Aquil blue, Cactus Flower yellow, Canvas neutral, Grape Jelly purple, Night Sky dark navy, Pink Sunrise, Transit Orange, and Waterfall periwinkle. Jana loves that the texture is printed on, making these sheets easy to die cut, write on, and stamp without your pen skipping.
6. Walk Through the Pocket Life Stamp Set ▶ Watch
Jana shows off the April 2026 Pocket Life Stamp Set, which is packed with travel phrases and everyday sentiments. You get stamps like "stop and enjoy this life," "what a trip," "weekend away," "adventure is calling," and "this place is so magical," plus the days of the week and accent designs like a chevron arrow and a dot border pattern. She recommends printing out the idea starter from the website to see how you can combine these phrases into tons of different designs.
7. Meet the Five Exclusive Metal Dies ▶ Watch
Jana goes through all five add-on dies and she is not shy about saying you need every single one. The collection includes the Cross Hatch Texture die, the Chicken Wire Texture die, a fun Wheels and Gears set that is great for masculine pages, the Nested Stitchable Scallop die set with little holes along the edges for stitching, and the Grunge Brick Texture die. Jana suggests using the texture dies as accents behind photo corners or layered inside frames for added dimension.
8. Swatch the Color Kit Magical Watercolor Powders ▶ Watch
Jana mixes up all three of the new Lindy's Magical colors from the April 2026 Color Kit so you can see the true shades. Cafe Terrace Tangerine is a deep rusty orange, Teapot Purple has a gorgeous shimmer with purple and periwinkle tones, and Tweedledee Denim is a rich concentrated navy. She even shows how to sprinkle the flat Magical powder directly onto your project and spray it with water for fun mixed media effects, plus she mixes the colors together to create a royal blue and a pretty dusty blue.
