Happy Independence day!

Hello!

Happy Independance Day!!

I have some fun and super easy rakhi cards for you to try today!

Rakshabandhan, the festival of sibling love is coming up soon and I thought it would be fun to incorporate our national colours with this festive ocassion.

For the first card, I used the 'Lace reloaded ' stencil from Craftangles along with Tim Holtz 'Carved pumpkin' and 'Mowed Lawn' distress inks to create a pretty background. 

I made a rakhi using an evil eye charm  and some white cord, and placed it in the centre of the background card panel. 

I then adhered this panel to the white card base. 

I adhered it to the inside card, using a bit of washi tape.

I stamped the sentiments..a combination of sentiments from Flora and Fauna stamps, 

Winnie and Walter stamps and Craftangles Stamps (Happy Rakhshabandhan) to complete the card.

Super quick.

Here is a video showing you my process.

For the second card, I used the 'Rays'  stencil from Craftangles along with Tim Holtz distress inks 'Carved pumpkin' and 'Mowed lawn'.

I created a background like I did above, and used the evil eye charm rakhi as the centre.

This time I used a combination of sentiments from Lawn Fawn and 

Craftangles (Happy Rakshabandhan and Happy Rakhi Bro)

Here is a process video for the same.

The third and final card is my favourite, I think.

I used the tricolour ( Tim Holtz 'carved pumpkin' , 'mowed lawn' and 'chipped sappire') and the 'skyline' stencil from Craftangles

to create a city skyline scene.

I added clouds using the nature stencil and Tim Holtz 'broken china' distress ink.

So many brothers and sisters are far away from each other at this time of the year, so, 

 the beautiful sentiment from Craftangles 'Happy rakhi Bro' stamp set 

seemed most appropriate with this background.

I made a rakhi using a heartbeat charm..It seemed perfect with the whole card.

Here is the process video..Do try out this stencil.. I thought it was the most fun!

I hope you enjoyed this post and the videos! 

I'd love to hear what you think so please leave me a comment below.

Box cards using Craftangles Rakhi stamps

Hello!

I'm back with some more Rakhi cards today!! 

I just can't get enough of the newly released 'Happy Rakshabandhan' stamps from Craftangles!

I decided to make a couple of box cards using the Lawn Fawn scalloped box die.

I decided to shake things up a bit and make a card for a sister instead of a brother! 

So I took part of the sentiment from the Craftangles 'Happy Rakhi' stamp set and added the sister die cut (from Simon Says Stamp) to complete it. I just love the way it turned out!

The beautiful patterned paper is actually wrapping paper from Mandalay fine stationery..gorgeous 

isn't it?

For the second card, I've repeated the same sentiment and stencilled the white panels using the Craftangles 'Mandala' stencil and Memento inks. I added some self adhesive rhinestones for some bling.

I hope these cards have excited you and inspired you to try out the Craftangles 'Rakhi' stamp sets!

Have fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!
