Quick & Easy Cards (with Clique Kits)

Hello, friends! Welcome to the Clique Kit Pep Rally. Today I thought I would share some quick and easy cards using Clique Kits "Bee You" kit. I'm trying to challenge myself to create cards with bits and pieces left from creating layouts. To keep things simple, I'm using white and kraft cardstock (from my stash) as the card bases. The ephemera pieces from the Hazelwood collection were the starting point for the first card. The mason jar was popped up with foam adhesive and I tucked the flowers into the jar.I fussy cut the "love" and attached it to the front of the jar. I love this card because it's so versatile.

For the background of the "Thanks" card, I used a journaling block from the Hazelwood cut apart sheet. The pretty, gold Thickers from the kit are layered on mint-colored foam, so it works beautifully with the paper.

The last card was inspired by the cork cloud from the kit. I created the falling hearts with Whipped Spackle and a stencil from my stash. I felt the card need a tiny pop of color, so I grabbed a butterfly rub-on and adhered it to vellum. I then fussy cut the butterfly and used a tiny strip of foam adhesive to pop it up.

I hope you've been inspired to create cards with leftover pieces from your kits. Be sure to check out the Clique Kit blog for tons of inspiration today! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

You Do You - Creating with Clique Kits Feb Sketch

Today I'll be sharing my second layout as Guest Designer for Clique Kits using the gorgeous "Bee You" kit. The starting point for the layout is the Feb sketch, designed by Kristine Davidson.

I've done several feminine layouts recently and thought it would be fun to mix it up and create a "manly" project. I love the colors and arrows on the b-side of the Hazelwood Woodland Plaid paper and the "You Do You" acrylic piece is perfect for the title.The coral corrugated paper (Fancy Pants) really pops of the page and is a great backdrop for the neutral colored elements on the layout.

The cork pieces in the kit add such a fun texture to the layout. My son's number is, "0" so I painted the cork piece with a white paint dabber. I felt the left side of the photo needed some white for balance. To make the green arrow work, I drew over it with black ink. The chalk banner and black enamel dots are from my stash.

I adore the flair in this month's kit and layered it over a cork piece. I really love how all the elements came together on this layout. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll be back next week with one more layout using this kit!
