010416 CKC January Forgeries Tutorials

Well, this was definitely a very fun collection of embellishments to forge!
You may remember that I chose the Scarlet Lime October 2015 Planner Kit.


Let's try the tassels first.
The larger one was made with yarn.
I was blessed to inherit my dear Aunie's craft stash, so yarn I have in abundance.


The smaller tassels were finer, and wrapped with golden thread.
I used a full skein of embroidery floss & I didn't even take the packaging off!

Simply threaded a 7 Gypsies (I think) trinket safety pin through either end,
slid the paper holders to the center, tied off the heads of the tassels
at each end, then simply cut the full skein in half! Couldn't have been easier.



 Next  I made some tabs from the patterned papers.
I used the negative of an October Afternoon sticker for a template.
 

I will add an appropriate word or sentiment when I use them.
 

Finally I pulled this stuff to work on some Project Life cards.




Something new from Tim Holtz: Idea-ology Small Talk stickers.



Hope you find something in the inspiration kits
that sparks you to create your own custom version.
We're all about the counterfeits at CKC!

010116 CKC January Counterfeit Kit Reveal


From all of us at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog:


Aaaah, January... planning lots of scrapping this month.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to choose one of

 kits from Scarlet Lime as your jumping off point for inspiration.
We are not specifically making planner kits this month, but the lively colors & patterns 
of Christy Tomlinson's creative kits should be a delightful inspiration for your use.

Let's take a look inside the Magic Blue Box!


I was fortunate to have an old 6 x 6 "She Art" paper pack by Christy, 
so I took the easy way out & used that as my foundation.

I added embellishments based on the inspiration:

October 2015 Planner Society kit

Here's my January 2016 "Less is More" kit.





You may have noticed the absence of alphas.
I may not need them! I will leave you with that bit of mystery...

Don't forget to tune in on Monday for our Forgeries on the Fourth post,
where you can link to posts that can help you make your own favorites
 yourself by shrinking, not growing, your stash!

Only two more stops on the hop, hop, hop!
