Counterfeit Kit Guest Designer

I’m was very happy to be invited to be the guest designer for September 2020 over at the Counterfeit Kit group. What they do is offer up a pre-made kit as inspiration and then participants build their own kits from their stash at home.

I love doing this project and I show you my thought process on my YouTube channel. So please check out my video! And since the group has a trend of naming their kits I shall call this one School in the Woods.

And if you prefer just the basics in visual format, I’ve got you covered. I used the inspiration of school, woodland, and fall themes as well as a softer primary color scheme with a dash of green to build this kit. Here are the still images…

Don’t forget to check out all the Master Forgers (the ongoing design team at CKC) for their takes on this month’s inspiration. Here is the hop list:

SCT Kit August 2020

I’ve got another SCT Kit for you. Today’s video focuses on what to do when designs go wrong. Let’s face it, we all have days when things just aren’t working. Instead of tossing it in the trash, I kept working and was able to take a step back and pay attention to the design principles that were making my project come out poorly, and find ways to use those principles to rescue my project

Counterfeit Kit August 2020

I’ve participated in the Counterfeit Kit Club challenge a couple of times this year and I am really getting into the flow of it. The challenge offers a pre-made kit as inspiration for you to create your own counterfeit kit! Each person is going to draw different ideas and elements from the inspiration and that is the beauty of the process. No two kits will be alike!

Let me show you what I came up with for August.

This kit is filled with teal, pink with just a touch of yellow. I’ve got paper clips, hearts, frames, sequins, wood veneer and flair to add texture. Plus in this kit I created my own faux wax seals! (A YouTube tutorial is coming for that soon, so stay tuned.) I may even do a little bit of brush lettering. Not my strong point, so wish me luck!

So go check out #counterfeitkitchallenge and have fun getting crafty without spending any extra money.

Counterfeit Kit Challenge

I’m taking this challenge for the first time. The basic idea is to mimic a pre-designed kit with supplies you have on hand already. I’ve known about this website for a while. I’ve popped in on occasion to other bloggers’ adventures with their kits. Yet this is the first time I have jumped in. Check out my YouTube episode on how I am beginning my own foray into counterfeiting.
