Counterfeit Kit Challenges Forgeries on the Fourth

Hello, hello! Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Forgeries on the Fourth at Counterfeit Kit Challenges and I have a couple of quick ones for you!

Here's a reminder of our June inspiration kit - Hip Kit Club's May 2019 scrapbook kit:

The inspiration for my first forgery actually came from the May 2019 Hip Kit Club Pocket Life Scrapbook Kit. I really liked the foam backed silver glitter hearts that were included in the kit. I really didn't want to make silver glitter hearts, so I used some scraps and papers from the 6x6 paper pad that I included in my kit to make my version of the foam backed hearts. 

Here's a look at the supplies I used:

I die cut several different sizes of hearts out of the fun foam and again out of the paper I wanted to use:

Here they are all put together. The hearts in the Pocket Life kit looked to be really thick. I don't like too much dimension, so I just kept to one layer of fun foam, but you could easily add more layers to get the thickness you want

And a close-up:

Next, I really liked the rainbow-colored plus sign paper in the inspiration and I knew I had a small background stamp of a plus sign. I pulled out my inks -in rainbow order and went to work:

Is it perfect? Not even close, but that doesn't matter to me! This paper will either be used in my Traveler's Notebook, or as a layering piece, or even cut up for embellishments.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge - Forgeries on the Fourth

Hello, everyone! Happy 4th of July to all of you in the US! Do you have anything fun planned for today? Our daughter and her family, and hopefully my sister and niece, will be coming over for swimming, a bar-be-que, and fireworks. I cannot wait!

Since today is the fourth, that means we have some forgeries for you on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.

We are counterfeiting the June 2018 kits from The ScrapRoom this month.

June 2018 Flavors of the Month

When I put my kits together, I counterfeited the Bella Blvd Dad Style from the Flavors of the Month kit pictured above. I didn't have anything too close to it, but I pulled out some masculine papers and this is what I came up with:

As you can see, I don't have a lot of embellishments for this kit! So, I set to work creating my own! I concentrated on the papers to the left for my forgeries.

What did I forge? Let me show you.

I looked up the chipboard stickers and ephemera pack online to see what all was in it. They were filled with clocks, hexagons, circles, hearts, shoes, and phrases. I pulled out an old clock face stamp set that I have, my punches, dies, and washi tape and went to work.

I took my washi tape and lined it up three times on a piece of cream cardstock.

I then used my hexagon dies and punch, my circle punches, and my heart punch to cut out some shapes in the washi tape that will match my papers.

I got the idea for this next forgery from The ScrapRoom's DT member Lisa in their Facebook group - printing directly onto the washi.

I ran my paper through the computer once, then added the washi tape directly on top, and made a border strip - like the paper in the original collection, and some circle embellishments. Just be careful handling this after you print it because it smears easily until it has a chance to sit for a while.

Here is a look at all of the embellishments ready to be put on some layouts:

I think these embellishments will work well in a cluster or maybe even layered on a tag. I can't wait to put them to use!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Forgeries On The Fourth With Counterfeit Kit Challenge

Hello, everyone! I don't know about you, but I have been a day behind all week thanks to the holiday on Monday!

I am so excited for this post today - I am sharing my first "forgery" with you today! Here is a reminder of our inspiration kit at Counterfeit Kit Challenge this month:

I was inspired by the tags, labels, banners, and decorative circles that can be found in the kit, and I made a set of my own.

I die cut the large and small tags and added a piece of off-white to the large tags. The labels were created by die cutting the banner piece and adding it to a piece of patterned paper. The banners were hand cut and I used scraps from the tags to top them with - no waste here!

I created two sets of the circles with hearts on them. The large circles have hearts stamped directly on them and the small circles have die cut hearts attached to them. 

A pretty quick and easy forgery all ready to be added to future layouts!

Be sure to stop by the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog to see the forgeries from the other Master Forgers.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!
