November Pep Rally

This month Clique Kits is trying something new as part of our monthly celebration of our current kit creations and the reveal of the next month’s kit. While we really loved the idea of a monthly blog share, we realized that today’s paper crafters are trending toward  Instant gratification such as Instagram for inspiration! Like everything new, we expect to run into some snags along the way. But basically how it works is very simple.

Subscribers are  eligible to earn free product credits for participating in the Pep Rally via Instagram. Participation is a very relaxed commitment on a month by month basis. Simply email marketing@cliquekits.com by the 15th of the month to have your credits recorded. Subscribers may earn 5 credits (1 credit=$1) for each month they participate. If you end up not participating- we  lash you with wet noodles. (Kidding.) We simply skip over your points that month. Credits are cumulative as long as you are still a subscriber! Sound good so far?

What do you do once you sign up? This is really straightforward too. We hope this step by step instruction covers what you do,  who is eligible to win a prize, and what the prizes are.

Step 1: Take pictures of projects you created using the monthly kit (please use a minimum of 80% kit and add on products so that the inspiration provided for the Clique is kit-focused.) You can do this anytime during the month- but be sure your photos post before 10 am CST on  Pep Rally Day.

Step 2: On or before Pep Rally day, join the event on Facebook and Instagram by sharing on Facebook with your friends and tagging them on Instagram letting them know that each name tagged is entered to win a free kit!

Step 3: Use the Instagram search tool with the keywords specified in the Hashtags and enjoy the eye candy! Leave some love for all your friends!

Step 4: Tune in to Clique Kits for announcements of the monthly Pep Rally participant winner selected to win an additional $10 product credit to spend in the Clique Kits store!

And without further ado, here are the hashtags.  The first 3 are the same every month. The last two will obviously change each month.

Thankful for You

Gobble Gobble Y’all! It’s November Kickoff! I want to take this opportunity to say thanks to you-all of our amazing subscribers, fans, and followers. You are the ones we are so grateful for this month and every month. For this month’s kickoff post I want to share some of your Instagram posts. We do check our tags often and love to see you sharing your layouts, cards, and other projects using your Clique Kits. As 2016 holidays draw near and we begin to count our blessings we are sending out tons of love!

First up I have this beautiful layout  by Ulrike Dold (@thinkpinkandmint)  using the exclusive Clique Kits autumn wreath cut file. Everything about it from the photograph to the soft tone on tone look to the lovely leaves on the bottom is scraplift worthy! Guess what! This gorgeous cut file is a freebie! You can download it right here! Please feel free to tell your scrappy friends to grab it and and any other cut files in our digital shop! We add more files every month!

Julie Otte (@JulieOtte5) tagged us when she posted this adorable layout because she used one of our Wildflower +Co stamps from the shop to create this super fun stamped background. The patterned paper collection on this page is available as part of our April Kit Origins and can also be found here.  Here is a picture of the stamp set she used which is for sale in the Clique Kits shop. Check out all of our unique indie small business stamp sets designed by talented artists while you are at it!

This layout by 2014-2016 DT member Donna Epiritu, who we love and cannot praise enough for her talent and dedication to Clique Kits for two years, was featured in a blog hop team up with Just Nick cut files and Stuck Sketches. Donna used her September 2016 Clique Kit supplies to complete the layout and I just love how it came out. These kits are for sale in the shop and include t some exclusive Clique Kits own 12 x 12 paper designs.

Another layout spotted on Instagram that I just had to feature by Sandy Gonzales, longstanding Clique subscriber, You Tuber, and friend of the Clique (not to mention talented scrapbooker)…also using the September kit Moon Child.

Here’s one from Clique Member and popular Instagrammer Hannah Lemieux (@dandalion2002)-former fellow Hawaii resident- using one of my favorite exclusive Clique Kits die cut backgrounds. I just love how she used this crazy circle background and her photo is so sweet. Thanks for sharing this one Hannah!

One of our hot new products for November is from Simple Stories by the Reset Girl. We are carrying some selections of her products that can be used for layouts as well as for planners and other projects. There is a paper pack which is versatile and contains the most easy to use and versatile of the patterned papers, There are the roller stamps with fun phrases and ephemera pieces with a modern vintage look that is very sassy.

And that’s a wrap of the November kickoff! I hope you will visit the shop. We have been hard at work organizing and adding categories to make shopping easier for you. You can now shop by season in addition to category and whether product is associated with a specific kit or limited edition kit.

Don’t forget that this month we have 30 days of gratitude prompts to follow along with the gratitude travelers notebook kit projects. There are some of these kits still available if you would like to pick one up !

Don’t ever forget that you are important, you are valued, and most importantly you are loved! When I count my blessings, I count you twice! The Clique Kits leadership team is always here for you and wants to know how to make your experience with your kits better-so do not hesitate to share your thoughts with us. Have a blessed day!
