One of the papers in the August inspiration kit - Hip Kit August 2019 Main kit was the Pink Paislee Truly Grateful Paper #6.

I love the doily like chevrons on this paper and thought I would recreate it with my punches. I've got to admit I don't use my punches as nearly as much as I should. You can find my Forgery on the Fourth for this paper here. 

I made a couple of border strips of this paper an am using the one on the left for my layout today.

I trimmed down my border strip just a smidgen and put it on the left side of my layout. I punched the same papers I used on the left for my right side. It just looked a little bare. I did add another white punched border to place on the pink polka dot paper. 

I added a previous die cut branch, flowers, enamels dots, thread and a sticker on the bottle cap for this cluster. I also added an enamel shape on my photo "so beautiful".

This cluster has more thread, enamel dots, flowers and the DIY label. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Forgeries on the Fourth - August 2020

Here's a recap of our inspiration kit this month - Hip Kit's August 2019 main kit.

I made the frames and the Chevron paper for my forgeries this month.

I love the Pink Paislee Truly Grateful Paper #6 and thought it would be an awesome paper to recreate.

So I pulled out my border punches and a few sheets of pattern paper and white cardstock. From the Gold paper I used the Swirling Lace punch, the purple flower uses the Scallop 3 dot punch and from the white cardstock I use the scallop border punch.

I cut a piece of white cardstock 3" x 12" and then into 3" x 4" pieces numbering the backs as I cut them.  I will admit I did this first the hard way and glued the gold paper down then each color after onto my 3x4 rectangle. I then using scissors and my paper trimmer to make it a 3x4 rectangle. The first one was easy, but the second, third and fourth were harder  as I was laying each paper down separately and then trimming.

I did this for all four 3x4's then layered them onto a scrap of card stock.

By the time I got to the third rectangle my sewing side kicked in and I decided to do strip piece it like I was quilting, (I should have though of that at first). Because i'm cutting off the overhang on each 3x4 rectangle I need two pattern paper strips. I also ditched the cardstock as it made it a bit bulky and my pattern papers are white on the back side so I used that for the white cardstock.
Here is paper set number 2

and my quilting strip.

I only did these two pieces and not a full size 12x12 paper. I'm not sure how I'll use them on my layouts. I normally scrap in sets of three so I do need to make another one for 8 1/2 x 11.

Now for my frames - I stamped and embossed with gold and black embossing powders. It's really humid here and the embossing was really messy but I'm cutting out the inside of the frames. 

Where the embossing powder isn't clean is where I'm putting my embellishment cluster. I pulled out a few of the flowers - both die cut and punched, the sequins, enamel dots and rhinestones along with some thread. I realized the Inspiration Kit had a couple of birds in the embellishments so I pulled out a bird punch. 

And here is my finished frames. I really like how they turned out. 

I haven't colored in the flowers on the bottom left frame  as I'm not sure what colors I'll be using it on.

Don't forget to check out the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog for all of the forgeries this month.

Of course I have blue and white pom pom trim, buttons, rhinestones and enamel dots, a few wood veneer pieces and random chipboard. I have butterflies, leaves and birds that I've punched or die cut left over from other layouts or projects.

and 

I've included a few different stamps for the frame shapes, lots of border punches and shape punches.

 

Then I included a card and pocket kit. Heidi Swapp's Stories by the Month for August had the perfect colors for this kit so I added it in  along with a few 6x8 sheets from an unknown paper pad, remnants of Deja Views fresh  print Mango 8x8  paper pad and Studio18 (2011) Butterfly Garden stickers.
