I love kit building and that is why I am on the design team for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge project. We take an inspiration kit each month and proceed to replicate it, or as we say, counterfeit it. This is a free, friendly group that helps inspire you to use up supplies you already own. We are not about needing to buy the latest and greatest thing (though we won’t stop you if you enjoy new crafty goodies๐ ).
It is time for the final kit build of 2025! Our CKC group takes a kit break in December (don’t worry, we bring other fun instead). So, let’s get to this new month of kit building. Brandi is our hostess this time. She chose the Cocoa Daisy’s October Glow collection to inspire us. It is a kit full of atumnal colors and icons. Before we dive into the details, let’s give a warm welcome to our guest designer this month, Lisa. I hope you’ll cheer her on in our FB community group as well as on her YouTube channel.
So let’s move on with our kit. Here are a few looks at what we have in store this time around. We’ll start with some details and then look at the overview.







I am certainly ready for a fall vibe. The season finally changed where I live and I welcome it. (I know for our souther hemisphere friends, heading into spring must be a welcome change also!) While I’m ready for fall, I still need a broader color palette for my stories since my layouts often feature photos from other days of the year. So I will add in more color as I kit build. As always, I start with the papers.

I had some good options to go with many of the inspo papers. I did swap in a more colorful stripe in place of a plaid paper. Then I just added one more bold color stripe from Vicki Boutin. Using those two items, I brought in more yellow, blues and green in cardstock. This will help me feel flexible in my story options.
Moving on to embellishments… I found some great items that worked with the kit. I do have a bit more color with my chipboard, cutaparts and enamel dots. I also tucked in many stamps that I will put to use when I make my own supplies for this kit. Over at CKC we call that our Forgeries on the Fourth. For me I call it my Monthly Makes. I hope you’ll come back on the fourth to see what I do with those stamps. I have been wanting to do this for a while now! Plus I have more ideas to play with!

Before I go, there is a tradition over at CKC of titling our kits just like companies do. So I’m calling mine…
FALLing for stamps

I hope you can follow along with the other designers and see how they interpreted their own kits.
