July Forgeries on the Fourth

 

 Welcome back! Today our Master Forgers are giving you some ideas to create your own elements for the kit by using items from our inspiration kit to counterfeit embellishments and/or papers to use with your own kits.  Let me remind you of our inspiration kit.

 

Let's see what our Master Forgers have come up with.

Master Forger Tara found a few things to counterfeit this month from our Inspiration Kit!  

 

She found that she could make this tag embellishment using her Cameo and a shipping tag.

 

This shows the cutfile she already owned in her Silhouette Design Studio library!

 

Here's the design opened up on her software.

Here's the finished tag embellishment:

 

 

She also decided to create her own poloroid frame with her Cameo.  

 

 

She opened a cutfile of a polaroid and then created the word in her design software.

 

Then, she rotated the word in the design software and welded it to the frame.

She is here with three forgeries for you. She is really pleased with the faux hat pins idea! These actually are better than the originals since they containless bulk and less pointy danger! These were made with twist ties (stripped of their paper) and enamel dots. Easy!

I made 5 altered paint chips to add to layouts this month.

                               Choose a contrasting coloured flower to make it stand out.

Looks like Master Forger Tara and I had the same ideas this month. To make the tag I used an already made one. I cut a piece of patterned paper and used an XOXO punch, glued both to the tag and then machine stitched through the center. For the frame I cut a piece of card stock 3x4, then cut a piece of white card stock using a square die. I applied puffy letters to the side. The white card stock is 2-1/2" x2-1/2".

For the last embellishment I used a scallop die and 2 smaller circle dies. The center is a large brad. I used a white gel pen to make hash marks around the edge of the black circle.
