May 2024 - Forgeries on the Fourth

Today we have two events happening! As usual it is our Forgery on the 4th inspiration. Also, today is iNSD! Be sure to check out the announcement of our celebration activity and learn about the prizes!

Now let's see what the Master Forgers were inspired to forge this month.

Sometimes we like an element but don't have anything like it. Sometimes we just want to make with our hands. Either way, it is always fun to see ways to create elements from supplies we already own!

Master Forger Julene made this.

I was looking at this paper and remembered I had a jar stamp.

Using the jar stamp I did this

I then used 3 coloured paints and replicated the original as best I could.

With the leftover green paint I coloured some chipboard circles.

Master Forger Misty created these four items.

She shared a video with tips on creating these elements if you are curious.
Front left to right: 

1. yellow pinstripe pattern paper from cardstock and a white gel pen
2. A star print created from an existing teal and while polka dot print. She simply doodled the extra star elements onto the paper.
3. A scalloped print using a 3-D embossing folder and panels of cardstock. Everything was pieced back together to create a full 12x12 sheet.
4. Altered washi tape with alcohol ink markers to recreate an item in the extra/add-on Timeless collection supplies.

Master Forger Ryann used a circle punch, a few patterned pages from her kit, and her box of scraps to create the half-circle page to use.
