Yearbook: Melbourne - Sydney 2015

Hello all! Thanks for dropping by Clique Kits! Here's sharing a Project Life spread I did with WRMK plastic folder. Love their square format and what's even more amazing is that in the September Capture kit, it has a variety of square format patterned cards as the ones shown below! 

Using Cocoa Vanilla's Hello Lovely collection, I first cut a few pieces of patterned papers into 9 squares of 4" and place them randomly over the squares to add colors and variety to the spread. Love how it looks and had lots of fun documenting my Australia trip!

Hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed creating them!

All materials can be found in the September Capture Kit:

Locker Room: Great Ocean Road Trip

Heyyie good day to all!:D I am up on Clique Kits blog today to share a layout I created using the September's Capture Kit! I absolutely love this hello lovely collection from Cocoa Vanilla! The colors and patterns are bright, cute and fun to play with:) 

Here's sharing a few tips on how I create this layout:

I like using patterned papers as the border and a white card stock in the middle so it won't appear so clustered and draws attention to the middle. In choosing which patterned paper as the base, I like to first decide on the photos I am using. A tip that won't go wrong is to use colors that match the colors in your photos. For instance, the 3 photos I have are mostly in shades of green and blue. Comparing the first and second layout, the blue in the second layout feels more cohesive compared to the first. 

Secondly, since it's a beach sort of theme, I chose a brown patterned paper to match my layout and split it into halves at 6" and did sort of a arrow pattern so the attention will be drawn to the middle photos.

Then the rest would be adding details and foam dots for more dimension.

Thanks so much for dropping by and hope some of the tips help! We would really love to see your creations! Please hashtag cliquekits on Instagram or tag us on Facebook! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!

         

I can count on you like 1,2,3

Good morning everyone from sunny Singapore! So excited to share my first blog post for Pink Fresh Studio and really honoured to be part of the team!:D Have you seen or gotten your hands on the January kit and Up in the Clouds Collection?! They are packed with so much goodness! Here's sharing what I have created!

The background was created by splattering red ink over the white cardstock and adding the rub-ons from the January kit randomly around the photo. Had so much fun with it!

For the second project, I created a V-day shaker card with the cute stamp set and pink heart sequins inside the January kit.  The background was created by stamping repeatedly and from this,

I created this! *Remember to use a light-coloured stamp pad to create a faded background and better contrast!*

Till my next update, take care and God Bless!

         

Clique Into the Holidays - Christmas Cards!

Heyyie! Good day to all! I am so excited to share fast and easy Christmas cards using supplies from the Clique Into the Holidays kit.

Guess what!? I completed all the cards under an hour! Let me show you the trick! What I did was I used MME Sleigh Bells Ring Chipboard Frames as the cover and somehow the Pink Paislee paper fits perfectly as wording for my cards! If you have the kit with you, try it! 

Thanks so much for dropping by! Till my next update, take care and God Bless!:D

         

Chickaniddy Ribbon Binding Album!

Good day to all! Cassandra's back to share with you a DIY Christmas album! Hope this gives you some inspiration to create a handmade gift for your loved ones or use it to document your holiday! 

Here's the final product:

Supplies:Jolly good Collection: Patterned Papers: Caroling (jg14os03), Christmas Eve ( jg14os01), Deck The Halls (jg14os06), Happy New Year ( jg14os12), Holiday (jg14os08), Sweater Weather (jg14os04), Sugar Cookies (jg14os02), Making Spirits Bright (jg14os07), Illustration Stickers (jg14eb01), Die Cut Tags (jg14eb04)

Here's the step-by-step instructions!

1. Gather your supplies! I cut the patterned papers into 12x6" and combined 3 patterned papers into one set and folded them into halves. This formed one signature as illustrated in the first photo. Create as many signatures as you deem fit. Then choose a patterned paper you like as the front cover and cut them into 6x6". Then I gathered the embellishments and set them aside. For this ribbon binding tutorial, use a needle with a wide hole so it's easier to thread the ribbon through.

2. I used my ruler to measure and punched hole with my crop-a-dile! As for the front cover, I wanted it to be firm so I used a cardboard  and glued the front and back patterned paper to it. I scored the front cover slightly so that it's easy to open and it won't be too stiff.

3. Then I thread about 24" of ribbon through my needle.

4. I started out first by threading through the second signature as shown in the photo so as to hide my knot. Remember to leave about 4" so that it's easier to tie a knot at the end.

5. Thread it through in the same direction as shown and criss-cross it at the end and back up again to join with the start of the ribbon. At the end, thread it back to the second hole to find your thread and secure it by tying a dead knot. 

6. You are almost done! Now decorate your front cover!:D You can work with almost any size but I like 6x6" so I won't waste too many papers!
