I was born in the UK and raised in a Royalist family and when we later moved to New Zealand it remained the same NZ being a. part of the Commonwealth. Whether you are a Royalist or not you have to admire Queen Elizabeths devotion to duty and service. I wanted to document her passing and the now famous picture of her and Paddington Bear inspired my layout. I have used the wonderful cliquekits.com/base-kit-eurydice/ Eurydice kit which has been restocked in the Clique shop.  The heart and crown cut file is from Bella BLVD, perfect for my theme. I printed off my photo (I downloaded a copy from Google images) sizing it as 3.5x4 inches. I decided to cut two hearts using the off set function if you are using a Silhouette Cameo, this prevents a 'flat' looking heart'. I next created my heart using three colours for visual interest.   I added a floral bunch from the die cuts included in the kit and tucked it under my heart and so it would cascade out of the crown. I added a bow which is not a part of the cut file, I used one of the colours from the crown to tie all this together.  I added my photo with foam tape and before adhering to my page I added another floral bunch die cut to the left of my photo.  I added a journal block so I could document regarding this significant moment in history and made it an embellishment cluster by adding more die cuts.  Lastly I added some journalling which I typed, I love this quote that was doing the rounds of social media regarding her passing and just had to add it to my layout. You can see I added thread through this button die cut which is a perfect way to add texture.  And there you have it, a perfect example of memory keeping. This kit has so many wonderful papers in it, it is so easy to create numerous layouts that look so very different. As always thank you for stopping by today and see you again soon. Rachel x

Hi Friends, Today I am going to be showing you these super easy and fun to make mini gift bags. They are perfect for a quick mini gift and they look so cute when displayed. These are so quick to make, once you start, you won't be able to stop! I have a step by step process in my video and all the details and links of what I used are in the description of the video.  Here is the video link. I just love how it all came together. Did I mention you only need one piece of paper to make it? I mostly used the Seasonal Kit / Miracle on 34th Street for this project. Loving all pieces! Happy Crafting!
Liz Hi sweet Clique friends, Thanks for joining me today, I'm happy to share with you a mini-album in his box made with the lovely Let's Get Crafty Limited Edition Kit .  I created a box of 3.5 x 3.5 inches by 2 inches deep, which hosts a destructured mini-album. For the box, I assembled pieces of cardboard using the Corner Guides by We R Memory Keepers. If you don't have this kind of tool, take the time to position your different pieces of cardboard and wait for the glue to dry between each manipulation. I covered the inside and outside of my box with the Let's Get Crafty 6x8 paper pads by Simple Stories from the Let's Get Crafty kit.  To decorate my box, I embroidered a flower from the Paige Evans Splendid Embroidery Embellishment Pack in the kit. Embroidery is the 1st handmade activity I did as a child and I really like the texture this embroidery embellishment brings. I also added some die-cuts from the kit, this so cute Doodlebug Designs Cute & Crafty Doodle Pops sticker and a tassel ribbon from my stash.  To make the mini-album, I assembled tags, labels, fussy cut elements, die-cuts simply with a ring. None of the elements has the same size, because I was looking for this destructured effect, I only respected the constraint of the size of the box.  On each page, I had fun with the Let's Get Crafty kit products to illustrate my photos. Both the papers and the embellishments are absolutely lovely!   I cut out the Let's Get Crafty paper pads, keeping the illustrations that interested me to create my pages, labels or tags.  These Doodlebug Designs Cute & Crafty Doodle Pops stickers are the cutest thing I have ever seen!!!  The Let's Get Crafty kit is perfect to document crafty events, your craft room or your crafty friends favorite photos and is still available on the Clique Kits website. I had so much fun creating this mini-album, I hope you enjoy it. Have a happy crafty day. Hugs & kisses from France.   Hi friends! Dana here today sharing the envelope advent calendar that I created using the amazing Miracle on 34th Street Seasonal Kit. The Miracle on 34th Street is a HUGE seasonal base kit with a Mid-Century Modern vibe featuring the full Cookies for Kringle 12 x 12 paper collection by Fancy Pants Designs as well as some favorites from Simple Stories Mix & Mingle. The re-order of this kit, it already sold out once, began shipping last week, so if you haven't picked up this kit don't wait much longer!  The base of this project is a re-purposed Halloween countdown book that I purchased from Amazon. I used patterned papers from the kit and washi tape from my stash to cover the front and back covers. I embellished the bottom of the front cover with puffy letter stickers and a die-cut tag.  The real magic happens when the book is opened to reveal 25 embellished envelopes made from the patterned papers from the kit. Rather than create a December Daily album like I've done for the past several years, I decided to simplify things with a numbered envelope design.  I used both the front and back sides of every piece of patterned paper in the kit and I love the festive mix of prints! The envelopes are ready for whatever I want to tuck inside, like photos, memorabilia, and notes about the day.  The only item shown here that is not included in the kit are the round numbers. I punched them from a piece of patterned paper from my stash. I have quite of bit of patterned paper leftover after creating these envelopes and a ton of embellishments. This kit is packed with enough seasonal goodies to make several projects! Clique International Supplies: Miracle on 34th Street Seasonal Kit   Hey my lovely Clique friends! Michelle here, bringing ya'll a sweet little mini made with the Limited Edition Tehuana Kit  For this mini I cut two strips of the patterned paper and attached them together, folding them to create the accordion album. I tucked the pink seam binding ribbon into the seem of the album and wrapped it around the album to close it, securing it with a metal embellishment when the book is closed.  I did a lot of fussy cutting and mixing of the die cuts to layer the coordinating pieces in with my Mexico vacation pictures in order to tell the story of our trip.  Each cut piece and die cut got inked up before I placed it down in the mini and tucked a picture in.  I love how perfect this kit was to go with my tropical pics! It really set the perfect tone!  As I was placing all my pieces down and finishing each page I cut and placed a butterfly at the edge of each page as sort of a tab that would peek out along the edge of the book.    I'm super happy with how this little mini turned out! I just can't stop looking at it! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you were inspired to make something beautiful today!  Hi Crafty Friends!! I am sharing a layout I created to document "ME". Most often we do not put ourselves in documenting memories. I used the NEW gorgeous Limited Edition: Inspired by...Olivia (cliquekits.com). I solely used the Fancy Pants Designs "Memory Lane" pattern paper and ephemera from this kit.  I wanted to add layers of these papers; so I cut them in various sizes and strips. I used my Heidi Swapp distresser tool for the edges to add texture to each sheet. Since this is a layout about me; I chose all of the ephemera pieces that were about me. My love of fall, butterflies, photos, coffee etc. I used pop dots to add dimensions to various pieces. I am loving these tones in the is collection.   Note: I seem to use my Teresa Collins star punch all the time.  This kit is filled with journaling cards and sayings that made it just perfect to use for this layout or one that you create with you as the focus. I hope that you have been inspired to create using this fantastic collection. You can find it with other new products here Clique International (cliquekits.com).   Hi Friends, Theresa here with an art journal layout to share with you! I was so excited to see the lovely Tehuana kit featuring Frida Kahlo, who is one of the most inspiring artists and I couldn't wait to make my own page with it. I hope you are inspired by this layout, and will have fun creating something for yourself - there is one caveat though. I've begun my page with an abandoned background, and I hope you will be inspired to go back to one of your abandoned layouts, if you have one, and pick up where you left off. Follow along with my process video below! Thank you so much for watching! You can purchase many of the products I've used in our shop through the following links: Clique Kits Tehuana Kit Stamp Set by Hapi Little Fox called Pieces of Me The Crafter's Workshop Stencil  Hello Clique Friends! It is Ali here with you today sharing a Fall layout using the beautiful Pretty Little Studio Seasonal Kit | Ginger Snap Junior Sampler that is available right now in the shop!  I used the gorgeous autumn wreath cut file that is also available in the shop, Autumn Wreath | Digital Cut File - Clique Kits, it is only $0.75. I backed the leaves with the 6 x 6 paper pad that was included in the kit. I just love the colors and they were perfect with the Fall pictures I had from the motorcycle ride I had taken with my husband.  I used foam tape to the back of the cut file and adhered it to a sheet of white cardstock. I wanted to keep it clean and crisp and love how the papers stand out against the white background.  I added leaves, butterflies, bumblebees and flowers on my page with the ephemera pack that is included. I tucked some under the wreath and added foam onto other pieces to fill my wreath in. I used a saying from the kit for my title and love how it grounds the page.  I just love the colors in this kit and hope you are able to pick it up and play around with it for some of your fall layouts too! Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time creating memories with your loved ones! Love, Ali xo  Hello Clique friends, |
