Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - Use jean on your project

Welcome to Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - Use jean on your project. This is what JoJo had to say about this Challenge. "Use jean on your project somewhere. Either a jean paper, jean buttons, flowers or even make a jean pocket. You can use real jean material too".

I pulled out page kit #7 from my October Counterfeit Kit - Fall Splendor. I have blue white and rust cardstock, scraps of green and vellum, and the Birdie paper, mini brads in bronze and Stampin' Up Earth Elements brands, Pinkfresh Ink- Storm, Persimmon, and old Martha Steward ink for the olive color, Black Ink and clear embossing powder, Jillibean Soup Mini Alpha in Navy blueberry, and a few colored pencils. To make my embellishments, I am using Unity Stamps KOTM March 2012 {from head to soul} birdies stamped in green and Storm, March 2012 {HEART and SOIL} birdie and numbers stamped in Persimmon, and April 2012 {FOLLOW your own} It's a beautiful day stamped in black

I started by making a template for my pocket, a 4x6 pieces of cardstock, folded one end on the four-inch side together and cut the pocket shape.  Now that I have the shape I like, I cut it out of the blue paper and decided on the orange brads for the rivets in the top of the pockets. I used the colored pencils to draw in the stitching lines.  I used the white cardstock journal spot and the Jillibean soup letter for the title to tuck into the pocket. 

I trimmed down the Birdie paper a smidgen, on the top and left and right sides, just so that I have a narrow blue outline from the cardstock. My photos are matted on the rust cardstock, I created a banner on the top right side with the scrap of green and blue cardstock and the Persimmon stamped birdies. 

I didn't like the It's a beautiful day stamped on the white cardstock, so I stamped on vellum and used clear embossing powder on it. I then folded it over the top of the pocket and glued the flap down. I used foam tape underneath the pocket.

Page kit # 5 and # 6 - Zucchini Harvest

 I'm using my Counterfeit Kit CKC October 2024 - Fall Splendor kit for my layouts today. I pulled out the papers from Park Lane - Happy Garden paper stack, scraps, white, red and black cardstock, DIY jars, enamel dots, Distress ink in Bundled Sage and black ink, and a December 2011 Unity Stamp KOT - {. . . filled with love} stamp set.  I added in some scrap paper of the gingham check, grid, scraps of green and orange. 

I am using Christy's Beautiful Like 30 Days of Sketches for Day 5 and 6 for my inspiration. 

Here is the sketch for Day 5 

For Day 5 I am using the white cardstock as my background with the medium flower print, the light blueish green, two of the canning jars, DIY small printable alphabet tiles, the grid paper, and enamel dots. Here is the left side.

Here is the Sketch for Day 6:

Card #1 from CKC October 2024 - Fall Splendor

 I'm using my October Counterfeit Kit CKC October 2024 - Fall Splendor. I pulled out the 6x6 paper pad from We R Memories, Unity Stamps KOT September 2024- {wander and wonder} and Unity Stamps KOT - March 2022 {never lose hope} , Distress Ink - Scattered Straw, Wild honey and mustard seed, gold embossing powder, embossing ink and black ink and flat backed pearls. 

I started by making my card base out of Kraft cardstock. Using white cardstock, I stamped my image and used the distress ink with the smooching technique to color the basket of flowers, then colored around the card.

I added a flower, pearl and a piece of trim. I have a little box that I keep miscellaneous trim pieces that I use on my cards, tags, or bags. They are left over from scrapbook pages that I just cannot seem to throw away.  I used the Embossing Ink and bronze embossing power on the sunflower on the envelope. This sunflower is from the Unity Stamps KOT - March 2022 {never lose hope},

Main papers:

My papers are a shade or two lighter than the inspiration kit, I've even included some metallics, bronze/ copper, gold and silver. 

Scrap page kits 

I have a couple of bags of scraps that I have kept together from other projects that I can hopefully get used up. Included here are glitter paper, vellum and foil paper.

Papers pads: 

The Color Box paper pad (on the bottom) has just a few sheets left, I brought in the DCWV Vintage Memories to use as backgrounds and I would like to finish off the We R Memories 6x6 paper pad. There are a few word cut a parts still in the paper pad.

Card, tag and bag starters:

I have several card, tag and bag kits that I have not been using the past few months and the colors work wells with the month's inspiration kit. 

Embellishments:

I have a wide variety of embellishments this month. flowers, chipboard, wood veneer, tags, journal cards, buttons, and rubons. I have several flowers that have been stamped on paper and on vellum. and a tag that has been stamped.  Once again I have included a wide variety of stamps, punch's and dies. I even pulled out a couple of stencils so we will see how that goes.

August Counterfeit Kit and Social Medial Hop

 Welcome to August's Counterfeit Kit and Social Media Hop. Tara is our Master Forger in charge this month.  As usual the full blog hop is listed below. Tara has selected a Sweet Shoppe Design collection for our inspiration kit this month, can be found here: Sweet Shoppe Designs - Making Your Memories Sweeter. Here are the papers and the embellishments:

Our Guest Designer this month is Sarah Rouault, Here is a little bit about Sarah: 

"I live in Newbury, Berkshire UK. I’m a PA to the Directors at a Building Society. I have

two grown up children and one granddaughter Daisy who is 6. I’m a widow of 19 years

so I know to make the most of every day - we’re only here for a visit.

As a child I kept Newspaper cuttings of the Royal Family in a scrapbook and I started

to scrapbook my photos about 11 years ago but stopped due to life events, however I

really got back into it during 2020 - COVID and lockdown! I have followed Counterfeit

Kit Challenge on the blog for years but only a few months ago joined the Facebook

group and got stuck into creating kits from the inspiration each month. I have hundreds

of photos still to scrap from many many years of snapping away and I like to use a

defined kit for each event, occasion or holiday so CKC is great to help me focus on

pulling different collections from my stash together to use this way for each project. I

love all the ideas each month and the support and comments posted in the group is so

encouraging - everyone is so lovely."

Please give her a warm welcome.

Here is my August CKC - Bee Happy.

First off, I pulled mainly yellow, kraft, black papers for my kit. 

I also have a 6x8 paper pad and embellishments. I added in the 12x12 chipboard frame I would like to use up I will be adding in 12x12 and 11 1/2 x8 cardstock and pattern paper for the backgrounds.

I also pulled in a few pieces of scrap paper, and a partially used 6x6 paper pad that I would like to finish off. 

Here are a few of the specific embellishments I will be using. I pulled these for my page kits that. As for the rest I will be using some stamps, tiny word stickers and of course I can add from my stash. I also have a white alphabet set that I will need to make a few letters for my title. 

I have several stamps that I want to use both on my layouts and for cards. I have also pulled in some Hexagon and circle dies. I am substituting butterflies and birds for the bees in my kit. 

thanks for stopping by.
