January 2022 - Mini- Kit Reveal & Projects

Hello everyone.  

Today we are showcasing our Mini Kit Reveal and Projects created with those kits. As a reminder, Master Forger Cindy chose a digital kit from Traci Reed Designs called On the Go and Going Slow. 

The kit can be found here: On The Go and Going Slow Digital Kit — Traci Reed Designs

We have MF Lisa and MF Laura with their mini kit and project using our inspiration kit.

MF Laura says: "For my mini kit his month I pulled out all the scraps! I selected 3 larger 12x12 scraps, some smaller scraps, a handful of die cuts and my punched gold hearts from a previous CKC kit. I love the yellow in the inspiration kit, especially at this time of year." 

"I used my kit to create this traveler's notebook spread. This picture of pretty autumn leaves was a perfect match for the colours in my kit and the smaller sized kit really lend itself to smaller projects like these."

MF Lisa says: "I picked out the greens, yellows and brighter pink for my kit and ended up with something that's really a bit different to the original! But as always, I can see the inspiration, even if it's a bit difficult to pick out. I fished out the papers from my older stash and then topped it up with a handful of fussy cut and pushed shapes as well as a sprinkling of flowers, veneer and ribbons - all the with the intention of making some cards. Die-cuts and stamps would be added as I go along!"

I've started by making four cards from the scalloped edge My Mind's Eye paper with some die cut words and a little stamping. These are such easy designs that I feel a bit guilty but I kind of like their quirkiness! There is still a lot of paper and embellishments left that I'd like to continue working with to top up my depleted stock of cards - I'll be sure to share when I do!"

Here is what the rest of January will look like:

• 12th and 18th of January: Challenge #1 and #2 to inspire you to get creating from your own kit.
• 21st of January: Surprise Challenge
