Hello Friends! Maryám here with you today to share a layout I have created with my October 2018 Main Kit from Clique Kits. I started by fussy cutting some flowers from the paper Nº 6 and from the specialty vellum sheet too. Once I had them done, I arrange them around my layout, added my photo and some embellishments. I also included some of the fabric flowers that came in the kit. Here is my page:      Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Hello crafty friends! Rita here again to share a layout I created using the brand new Cut File „Messy Scallop Background“.  I guess everyone has some older patterned paper in its stash that never get used up. I definitely do. So for the cut file I used the „Mint Hashgrid“ paper from the Simple Stories „The Reset Girl“ collection. The pinkish colored b-side gave me the idea for my project: I decided to play with complementary colors on my layout. Sometimes you just have to challenge yourself, don't you? I still had the very large title „friendship“ from an older Shimelle collection which I fussycut.out. Those were my starting basis. Next I found the "fantastic" sticker from my „Amy Tangerine stash“. It fits the color scheme perfectly.  The photos that I wanted to use for my layout show my son's most favorite toy. It literally never leaves his side. My intention was to preserve this sweet „friendship“. For the background of the photo I made a shaker pocket with teal colored tinsel glitter, some sequins and little decorative stones. I still had a used deco foil with the words „Isn't that just lovely“ on it. It suited the topic of my layout just fine. Some journaling on the bottom, fussycut flowers, some splashes and voilà, my layout was complete. I hope you feel inspired to use complementary colors on your next layout, and don't forget to add the beautiful cut file!
Thanks for stopping by and see you soon! Hello everyone! Today I here with a pocket page that I made using gorgeous paper from Riga kit and Horizon kit, stickers from Regatta kit and Winter Park kit. I also used a digital card.  I made a filler card with the use of fussy cutting out of the tag and paper from Pinkfreshstudio (Riga kit).    Hello friends ! This is Anastasia. And this is my fall layout. I used the new cut file " Thank you"- November 2018    Hi friends! I have a project life spread today in my 6x8 album, and I have a couple of things going on in this week's spread. You might notice that the week I'm documenting is from earlier this year. It was a tough week for my family and I knew I wanted to document it, but the time hasn't been right until now to go ahead and do that. The other thing is that I love adding inserts into my 6x8 album, I feel like they make an album more interactive if that makes sense? I used my favourite Clique Kits cut file as an insert this week, but I'll talk about that a bit later.  My supplies are from the May 2018 Riga Kit, with lots of beautiful pastels and that gorgeous specialty paper, the rose gold foil vellum.  I used one of the ephemera tags for my title card, and printed my week in one font and the dates in another.  Here's a bit of an insight into what happened that week. While our daughter and her partner were visiting us, their home which is about 800km away, caught fire. Thankfully no-one was hurt and the fire was put out, but I can't even imagine what a helpless feeling it would be to be so far away. The photo in the insert is a screenshot that one of our daughter's emergency services friends sent her. Sometimes a picture tells a thousand words, and I really feel like this one does, so I wanted to make sure it was included for the week.  I've actually used two inserts in this spread, the 3x8 page plus my cut file. You can just see the cut file peeking out further than the 3x8 and it's almost asking you to turn the page ha!  This is the centre of the spread once you turn the 3x8. This week was actually when I found that I had been accepted as an Ambassador for my first term with Clique Kits and OMGosh, I can't tell you how excited I was!! I used my sewing machine to stitch along some of the lines on the coffee cup in the insert for extra dimension, and let the threads hang loose.  The Lacy Mandala cut file that you can find here in the Clique shop, is my absolute favourite cut file! It's just stunning and reminds me of a crochet doily. Since this pattern is symmetrical you can easily fold it in half, matching the edges and patterns, to create a semi-circle as an album insert. First up I checked my measurements to make sure it would fit vertically in my album. I needed to make it a little bit smaller, so I resized it in my Silhouette software before sending it to cut. I backed some sections with patterned paper and left some unbacked. I also sandwiched a semi circle of plain vellum as I was adhering the two halves together. Love the semi-transparent look! To hold it in my album I've used some old (ancient!) Basic Grey tabs from my stash, but you could easily make your own tabs by cutting a strip of cardstock, adhering it to each side of the insert and then punching a hole to slip over the binder rings.  And that's my spread for the week! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope I've inspired you to try out a cut file as an insert.  Hello crafty friends! While it's still October I wanted to share my take on the CK October sketch with you.  This was a quick one. But it needed some preparation beforehand: real leaves from outside, or in my case leaves from the birch tree outside our house, which I've let dry a couple of days after collecting.  For this layout I used a paper from an older Maggie Holmes collection and this month's Cut File „Leafy“, the already mentioned leaves and mostly stickers from the Amy Tangerine „Shine On“ sticker book which you can find in November's CK TN Kit. For the title I mixed some leftover Alpha Stickers.  I really like the idea to preserve some leaves from this year's fall in my scrapbook album. I hope you like the idea aswell and feel inspired to collect some leaves of your own to use on a layout.  Don't forget to share your take on the sketch in the Clique FB group or on Instagram (@cliquekits #cliquekits) if you haven't already. Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!  Hi friends, it's Jodie here with you today and I have a sweet set of patchwork heart cards to share. I love stitching on paper projects, so creating paper quilted hearts is right up my alley, and it's really not hard to do. I'm using the Clique Kits May 2018 Riga kit for these cards. It's definitely one of my favourites of 2018, but then I say that for each month's kits hehe.  To give you an idea of the dimensions, these cards are 5x5 inches square, and the hearts are 4x4inches in total.  To create a heart quilt block, you need a pattern, mixed patterned papers (I chose 3 papers and the beautiful specialty rose gold foil vellum from the Riga kit), and a piece of scrap cardstock to create your heart on. There are so many patchwork patterns available online, and all I did to find this one was Google 'heart quilt block'. To create a similar heart to mine, start by trimming a few 1x1 inch squares from each paper, then halve them on the diagonal (just once) to create triangles. You now have all the elements to your heart! Then it's just a matter of laying them all out in the shape of a heart, mixing the patterned papers as you go. When you're happy with the overall look, go ahead and adhere each triangle down. You only need a light adhesive at this point because you're going to stitch all of the joins with your sewing machine. Now is a good time to trim away the excess backing cardstock from around the edges of the heart, and then you can go ahead and stitch each inner line and around the outside of the heart as well, in a small zig zag stitch. In no time at all you have an amazing stitched patchwork paper heart!  On the first card I made a cluster on one side, made up of some of the leaf ephemera pieces and a sentiment from the kit, and tucked in one of the bows underneath the cluster.   For the second card I used the same method to create the patchwork heart, but chose papers with a warmer colour palette from the kit. I also centred the embellishment cluster rather than having it on the side of the heart.  These patchwork hearts could be a fabulous background element to so many projects. I've included one in a 6x4 pocket page before, you could use them in a travellers notebook spread, and you could also resize the 1x1 inch squares to make them bigger, and have a patchwork heart as a background on a 12 x 12 layout. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I've inspired you to pull your sewing machine and patterned papers out and create some beautiful paper patchwork hearts.

Today I here with a pocket page that I made using gorgeous paper and embelishments from Regatta kit, Horizon kit and two digitals cards from Clique kits.       I had so much fun playing with the 'Messy Burst' print and cut file and the 'Fun In The Sun' and 'Flower Field' cut files.  The 'Messy Burst' file is awesome! You can use it as a straight cut file or a print and cut. I changed the colours of the black 'splashes' and the white background in a photo editing program. I then selected the areas to cut, popped my photo behind and backed with pink.  I cut the 'Flower Field' file in bright pink ' to give a fun pop of colour to the layout. I think it gives a bit of a whimsical feel.  I cut the 'Fun in the Sun' file and backed with a paper that I had stamped with yellow (because I couldn't find a paper in my stash that I liked!)
I hope this has inspired you to pop into the Clique Shop and try some of the awesome digital files. Have a great weekend :) |
