Craft & Connect review

Craft & Connect publishes 426 course modules on Skool. It is free to join, with paid tiers inside.

A review on the numbers, not an opinion: nobody here has joined Craft & Connect, and nothing below is a verdict.

Craft & Connect is a Skool community for paper crafters, created in June 2025 and run by Kimberly, the owner of the scrapbook kit subscription Hip Kit Club.[1][2] Kimberly set it up after watching projects disappear in Facebook feeds and conversations get buried under ads, and the group runs with no ads or algorithms.[1]

About Craft & Connect

Step-by-step tutorials cover paper crafting, scrapbooking and card making.[1] Members also get monthly digital downloads such as cut files and printables, and meet for virtual crop nights to craft together.[1] As of September 2026, the group listed monthly giveaways worth $100 or more for active members.[1]

Hip Kit Club sends members a chosen scrapbook kit of papers, embellishments and designs each month at a discounted member price, with a choice of the Main Kit or the Project Life Kit.[2][3] The kit membership runs month to month with no minimum commitment and can be cancelled at any time.[2] The shop also sells an unlimited cut file library, one purchase that unlocks its full design catalogue and every future release.[3]
