June 2025 - Forgeries on the Fourth

 

  Welcome back!  Today, the Master Forgers and I are going to share our counterfeited kit items.  Let me remind you of our inspiration kit:

NJFB "Intrinsic" Limitless Kit

 

 Our Guest Designer has a special forgery for you this month.  She's created a cutfile that you can download for free if you are a member of the FaceBook Community Group.  Details will be on the group today.  After June is over, the cutfile will be available for sale in her shop. 

Here's the photo of the cutfile from the inspiration kit.  If you are interested in grabbing this free cutfile from Some Assemblage Required, please go to the group and see today's scheduled post!  If you are new to this blog and haven't joined yet, the link is at the end of this post.  Make sure you answer the membership questions and agree to the group's rules.  

Here's a photo of MK's cutfile-available for free on the FaceBook Group 

To receive this cutfile, you must be a member of the CKCB FaceBook Community Group

 

 

 

 

 

 

Master Forger Jody really loved the stars in the add-on kits.  I agree-they ARE quite fun.

 

 

These are great little textural accents for any layout.

Jody found a piece of burlap paper and used her trusty Silhouette to cut out stars. 

Here is the final layout!

I loved the acrylic word "Roam" and the mushroom die cut so I checked out my Silhouette Design Studio library and found a font to create a similar "Roam" word and a cutfile of mushrooms (cutfile #416534) that is also similar to the one in the kit.  Here's a screenshot of my Silhouette Design Studio workspace prior to cutting out the designs:

 I will be using one of the sheets of the "rusty" patterned paper for the Roam and will be stacking the three to create a title piece from paper similar to the acrylic in the kit. Remember, forgeries can be close and not exact.  Here's my completed cutfiles:

 

 

 

You may wonder why I cut three of the word.  It's because I stacked them to create the illusion of an acrylic title piece.  I also did the same with my mushroom cutfile.

I wiped over an offcut of clock paper with a used teabag to age it ready to use this month.

Master Forger Misty

 

Misty was excited by multiple items again this month. She ended up making three forgeries.  She recreated the metal charms using shrink plastic and metallic pigment ink.

The stars sure were popular with the team this month!
Misty made hers out of felt instead of corduroy. 

 

She loved many of the mushroom images and combined ideas to make mushroom postage stamps (as well as a slew of others). Not an exact forgery, but a lovely idea anyway.

 

And a look at everything all together.
