030415 CKC March Tutorial

Well, this month I only had a few simple forgeries.

It's always worth sharing, though, as counterfeiting is not a mystical magical skill!

It's usually just seeing an element of the kit & thinking - 

Hey! I have those (such-and-such) that I could (do such-and-such to) and it would look just like that.

Like this sheet of kraft frames from Jillibean Soup...

I want them to look like these in the kit, also from Jillibean Soup.

(hmm... hadn't realized that until this post...)

Voila! a simple woodgrain stamp transforms those plain-Jane frames.

Now I have squirreled away this little roll of cork for many years.

(I think the only time I have used it is for forgeries, lol!)

I simply cut a strip the same width as the ruler to make it easy.

Cut two pieces, cut the corners & punched the hole.

These cork tags from the custom items in the kit are what I'm trying for.

But I'm wanting something a little more interesting.

A little stitching makes them MINE!

Fair warning, though. Cork IS tough, but be careful close to the edge.

Now take a look at this month's inspiration kit shown here:

and choose a favorite element to forge!

And don't forget to post your creations to the Monthly Link-Up tab on the CKC blog.
