Varied Page Sizes ~ Clique into the Holidays

Oh happy, happy first day of December!!  For many of us, holiday traditions are in full swing beginning today; Elf on the Shelf, 12 Days of Christmas, Advent, an annual Christmas tree hunt or just a good ‘ol fashion countdown to Christmas with your family!!  This season also brings us what has come to be known as the December Daily, which always seemed daunting and overwhelming to me.  It’s beautiful, don’t get me wrong.  I just cannot see myself documenting something for everyday.  So instead, Clique Kits has created their kit this year, Clique into the Holidays!!  This kit is truly, December your way and I love it!!  Here are some pages from my Clique into the Holidays mini album where I’ll be adding photos of us trimming the tree, baking cookies, pulling goodies out of our Advent Calendar, reading Christmas stories and more!  Here are a few close ups of the kit itself.

 

And here are some of my Clique into the Holidays album pages!  One thing I love to do in my mini albums is to vary my pages sizes and shapes to add lots of visual interest and texture.  Doing this really makes a mini album interesting, interactive and chunky!  The chunkier the better when it comes to mini albums, I say.

 

The majority of the supplies used in my mini album where from my Clique into the Holidays kit, which you can grab at 40% off HERE by using the code CKSANTAHOLIDAY.   Don’t let this deal slip away and start documenting YOUR December, your way!

Besides diving into my Clique into the Holidays kit, I also used the following supplies throughout my mini album:

May Arts Ribbon Gold Stars Trim

Gold Foil Doilies

White Doilies

Red Burlap String

I also created a fun Flipgram of my Clique into the Holidays mini album, which you can view on my Instagram feed by going HERE.  I’d love to see you stop over and follow me, as well as Clique Kits on Instagram HERE!!

Fancy Holiday Cards

Hi everyone. Hope you are having a fabulous weekend. Are you getting ready for the holidays? I’m almost ready. I think. But in the meantime, I’ve been playing with my Clique Kits Cards Holiday Kit. This kit is full of awesome stuff! Ah, I feel so happy sitting here with my box of pretties. I am really loving the vellum paper by Pretty Little Studios and the cute tags by Fancy Pants. The two together make one fabulous looking card. What do you think?

Clique Kits really has an eye for combining gorgeous products to make a gorgeous kit. I am constantly amazed with their kits and you really can’t beat the price! I am really loving the holiday stamps by Kaisercraft too. They added just the right touch to my cards. I can really go on and on about this lovely kit, but I’ll stop right here. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by today! If you haven’t bought this kit, check out the store to see if we have any available. I promise you, you won’t regret it! Simply click here to see if we have any available.

Clique Cards : Oh Deer

Hi everyone! Stephanie here, popping in today to share some holiday card-making inspiration. By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen the fantastic, limited edition Clique Cards kit. There are still a couple left in stock so if you haven’t got your hands on one yet definitely head on over to the shop and add one to your cart.

There’s so much to love about these kits. Not only are they jam packed with product from the Fancy Pants Oh Deer collection but the colors are a perfect blend of traditional (red, green and gold) and contemporary (blue, grey and brown). Oh, and did I mention that there’s also a super adorable fawn die cut from Pretty Little Studio? ‘Cause there totally is. In fact, I was so enamoured with this little guy that I made him the focal point of my first card …

Here’s a close-up shot …

Isn’t it adorable?! As you can see from my example, the fawn die cut fits perfectly on the gift tags included in the kit and makes a sweet addition to cards and layouts. If you’re feeling extra Christmasy, you could even turn him into a little Rudolph by adding a red enamel dot or rhinestone to the tip of his nose.

For more Clique Cards inspiration, be sure to check out these recent posts from my fellow varsity team members – Nicole, Tyra and Mariah. We’ll be bringing you card-making ideas all month long!
