Counterfeit Kit Challenge #2 - And all at once . . .

Today is the blog hop at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog (I have everyone listed below). Challenge #2 is Autumn Equinox - Fall begins! We are to do a project about Fall - Anything Fall related - leaves, apples, cold weather etc.

My layout today is about the fall colors. Sometimes in Minnesota we just get brown leaves but last year we had a beautiful display of fall colors.  I snapped these pictures as we were headed over to the guy's place.

On the backside of the leaf paper is a woodgrain pattern - two for one. I matted the pictures onto brown cardstock then layered onto my pattern paper.  I pulled out a couple of the glittered leaves I made and used one of the acetate picture frames which was in my tin of cast - offs. The black leave in the top has black glitter on it - just not showing well in the pictures. 

I stamped the say in dried marigold and then reinked (not evenly) with gathered twigs so that I got a two tone look. I then cut it apart and inked all the edges with gathered twigs.  The leaves are stamped with dries marigold and rusty hinge and fussy cut.

I sprinkled a few of the wood grain sequins around each of my clusters.

Fall Cards

I'm trying to do more stamping on my layouts and to get back into the habit of making more cards. I included many stamp sets in my September Counterfeit Kit  and this one for the truck and the canning jar as they were included in our inspiration kit. Apple Crisp Classic Kit.

Then I saw that beautiful chrysanthemum under the truck I knew I need to make a couple of cards with it.  I also think I need to include that image in a pocket page.

So I inked it up in black and colored it in using colored pencils.  I pulled out a teal cardstock for my base, cut it down and scored it. I then used my die to cut out the front panel and layered my colored flower inside.  I thought it was a little plain so I stamped on the card front in opposite corners with a flourish stamp.

I stamped the chrysanthemum again on the envelopes and used clear embossing powder. Love the way they turned out.

Fun Times Layout

I had printed this picture way back in January - I was going to do a two page spread with the Christmas Photos. Had my layout all done and realized it was a fall picture, so I pulled it off and added a few photo spots for that two page spread.


I trimmed a bit off the top and side of the woodgrain paper, then matted it onto black cardstock. My photo and journaling spot was already to go and I just need some embellishments to add.

 From the September Counterfeit Kit I pulled some embellishments out of the my tin of cast-offs, the fussy cut leave in light green which match the dots in the bow perfectly, a piece of small doily, a Tim Holts paper clip, some mini flowers and the gold sequins.

I added the dog cork embellishment, one of the vellum leaves and bows from my Forgeries on the Fourth, and a large doily behind the photo.

I used the 1" punch to punch a piece of white cardstock, applied the rub on and then added the epoxy sticker on top.

Forgeries on the Fourth

Good Moring! Today is Forgeries on the Fourth at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Our inspiration kit was the Noel Migon "Apple Crisp Classic Kit" from September 2017.

I have glittered leaves, vellum embossed leaves, bows and canning jars that I am counterfeiting this month.

I wanted something different than the silk flower leaves with Stickles added to them, or by using the Wink of Stella pen. I first cut out a couple of leaves on various cardstock using my Cricut and the Accent Essentials and Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridges. I'm using a yellow red dark gray and brown cardstock for my leaves. I cut them out two different sizes.

I then covered part of my leaves with Score Tape. I'm using the 1 1/2" inch size, After cutting around the leaf with scissors I made sure the Score Tape was on really well by burnishing with the Scoring tool.

When I thought it was burnished enough I then sprinkled on the Glitter and sequins. This was the messy part. I did some of the leaves with just glitter, then some glitter and a sequin mix.

I then used a spray varnish to seal the sequins and glitter to the paper so that it doesn't rub off. To keep them from flying around I used a zot on the back of each leaf and put them onto a sheet of copy paper then sprayed them. I realize they are not archival safe but I'm fine with it.

The second set of leaves I made by stamping onto Vellum and heat embossing with clear embossing powder. I then used distress inks to color in the leaves.

I the pulled out my punch board to make a couple of bows. I hardly use my punch board for scrapbooking but thought this was the perfect opportunity.  I grabbed some double sided scrap pattern paper and made the smallest size bow. 

The inspiration kit had some canning jars in it. I decided I needed to include them in my kit. I found a tutorial using the Punch Board which can be found on Septeria18 You Tube channel.   I just love how the mini ones turned out

I added a couple of label from my punches. I have no idea on how I am going to use them on my layouts but they turned out so cute.

September Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop

Well September is here and it is already cooler than our summer had been. This month we are counterfeiting Noel Mignon's Apple Crisp Classic Kit. You should have arrived here from Janet at RTS YouTube channel. If not I have the full list of the hop below.

I think there is just about everything in this kit. We even have another unboxing video for this kit.

This is a bit unusual for me but I actually have a couple of the papers that was in this kit, unfortunately for me I only have  one sheet or a partial sheet. My kits normally have several of the same paper so that I can make three layouts.

Echo Park - A Perfect Autumn "Autumn Garden", "Seasonal Stripe", "Yellow/Teal", "lovely Leaves", "Red/Orange", 4x6 Journaling cards, "Dark Brow/ Light Brown", 3x4 Journaling Cards; Pink Fresh - Escape the Ordinary "Dare"; Fancy Pants - Dream Big "Fields of Fancy" Bazzill Cardstock;' One Canoe Two - Creekside "Gathering Flowers", Recollection tan cardstock; One Canoe Two - Creekside "Cozy Plaid", "Night Sky"; Recollection - White cardstock; Fancy Pants - Dream Big " Shine Bright"; Jen Hadfield - Heart of Home "Climbing Ivy".

I only had one of  the Happy Camper Page Kit so I'm including it in my kit. I need to pull my hedgehog die. I'm sure I picked this kit up for the hedgehog that was in it.

I have a few of the Hopscotch 3x4 and 4x6 card along with most of the cork embellishments that came with the kit so I'm including this.

Then I pulled out some never used embellishments. Top Row: metal charms from Recollections, Enamel Dots that go with the A Perfect Autumn papers , A Perfect Autumn - Enamel Words and Phrases and  A Perfect Autumn Decorative Brads

 Bottom Row: the Lawn Fawn Pumpkin Spice stamp and die set, Tim Holtz Snippets ephemera pack and A Perfect Autumn Enamel shapes

I have some DIY bows and leaves that I'm including in my kit - come back for Forgeries on the Fourth to see how I made them.

I

I've also included a small tin of  cast offs -what has not made it onto a layout or card. I have a layered flower on top, some labels, buttons, clips rhinestones, sequins, stamped images, ribbon and washi tape, a little bit of everything. A couple of word Explore and Adventure, Several Dies - Sizzix - Flowers, Branches and Leaves,  A coffee up and a camper set. A couple of rub on - Basic Grey - boxer, Crate paper - Mia collections, Stamp sets that have coffee cups, canning jars, trees and leaves on them; a few orange flowers and bottle caps. I will be incorporating more cardstock and probably some pattern paper as wells. I've already used a couple of Cricut files but may also cut something on my Silhouette.
