January 2025 Forgeries on the Fourth

Today is the day when our Master Forgers share the forgeries they have created for the month of January. First, let me remind you of our inspiration kit, Hip Kit’s “Good Things Ahead.”

Our previous CKC leader used to find lots of free resources for people to include in their kits. In this Lisa style I've found this site that allows you to download many images that you can print to include in your kits. The site I just discovered is called FreePik. They have paid for content, but also plenty of free options if you are just using it for personal use.

Based on the coffee icon I found in the kit (look really closely at some of those images!)

Find the one above.

Or get this one.

How about some mod (or as I've learned they are called "Scandinavian") flowers:

This one,

This one, or

This one.

Alright, if you want other makes that you can do by hand, let me show you my ideas.

I created many items from stamps and dies I had tucked in my kit. However, I always try to share ideas that you can make even if you don't have my special stamps and dies. 

Two of those items I created with a simple circle punch. Most people have a circle punch or die in their stash!

1. I attempted a "mod" flower (far right). I think it could use more details before I'd call it done. Personally I'd use a smaller size circle punch to keep adding layers to the flower.
2. That top left apple I created just using a circle punch,  a pen and a tab bit of scissor trimming. I show you how I do it in my monthly makes video.

 Have you ever looked closely at a tissue box?

I finished this one recently and because the colours match our kit, I made a few items. That is 2 small tags, 2 large tags and a border strip.

 Master Forger Tara decided to put her brand new Cameo that she received for Christmas to print and cut some of the denim pockets that are in the inspiration kit! She used Silhouette Design Store #10513.  She used her Canon TS9521C printer, which is a wide format printer, to print and the Cameo to do the cutting.  Easy Peasy!! 

Don't be afraid to try some forgeries of your own.  Be sure to post them so we can all admire them!
