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!

CrafTangles Stamps and Stencils are here!

Hello! 

Craft adda has launched its fabulous range of  Craftangles photopolymer stamps!

I have had the honour of using them and I have to tell you, the quality is exceptional!!!

I have used the 

Baby Sentiments stamp set  and the Craftangles 'Its a boy' paperpack

to make this card.

I paired a couple of papers from this cute paper pack and stamped two sentiments from the stamp set.

To cover the joint I used a blue satin ribbon and added a button from  my stash.

Craft Adda have also released their Craftangles  stencils which are made from superb quality plastic.

Since the festival of Rakshabandhan is in a months time, I decided to make a card with a rakhi. 

I used the stencil to create a background for my starfish rakhi. 

I used Tim Holtz distress inks to create the soft background.

I created the sentiment using stamps from Paper Smooches (Kinfolk) and MFT (Graphic masculine T and Graphic feminine T)

I made a few cards so I used my Misti stamping tool which made it so very easy!

Jennnifer Mcguire demonstrates how, here...

I hope you will be inspired to go over to Craft Adda and check out their new releases!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

Rakhi braid

A little late... but, I though I'd share with you what my daughter made for Rakshabandhan this year.

We got the tutorial for this braid here.

We added a really cute boy and girl charm. Since boys take off and throw their rakhis...I thought it would be nice to have one that we can use year after year and it would remain as a memory.

Thanks for stopping by...

do leave a comment...I love hearing from you!

Enjoy!
