Hi folks,
This is Anjali ,creative designer at @craftyscrappers

We are having a very festive and colorful challenge going on for Rakshabandhan.
As my inspiration for our this month challenge and releases i have created  mixedmedia tag cards and shagun envelopes using the versatile supplies from Craftyscrappers.

My inspirations focuses on the spotlight products:

STAMP SET- NO#1:BRO & SIS

st-fest-51no-1bro&sis].jpg

 

 

and 2-IN-1DESIGN 3D STENCIL-BOX PATTERN

 

cs-stnl-362IN1-BOX PATTERNS].jpg

 

 

PROJECT#1 :GORGEOUS MIXED MEDIA TAG CARDS

 

sd.jpg

A BRIEF TUTORIAL:

  1. I took craftyscrappers Premium white cardstock both for my stamping and card bases.
  2. Then stenciled using craftyscrappers 2-IN-1 3D DESIGN-BOX PATTERN stencil using shimmer sprays-dancing peacock, sweet sunshine,ocean waves and sweet pumkin.
  3. Stamped the beautiful brother image from the stamp set-NO#1:BRO & SIS.
  4. Colored them using zig markers.
  5. Stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in black archival ink.
  6. Added some flowers as decorations and finished the tag cards.

 

I think it’s a very good idea to gift it as shagun envelope apart from giving Rakshabandhan cards.

 

PROJECT#2 :BEAUTIFUL MONEY (shagun) ENVELOPE

 

unnamed_2.jpg

 

A BRIEF TUTORIAL:

 

  1. I have mixed spicy walnut shimmer spray with my texture paste for stenciling to give a hint of colour.
  2. I have done simple layering of chipboard, cheesecloth, twine and then the stamped sentiment and image.
  3. I coloured the beautiful stamped image from the stamp set- NO#1:BRO & SIS using Zig markers.
  4. Lastly I decorated my envelope with craftyscrappers shaker elements and flowers to make the envelope more pretty.

  4. Next I took wooden gear and stamp image directly on the gear and apply silver embossing powder on it. For this I used stamp set called “Happy Rakhi”.
  5. Made pieces of cardstock which I colored earlier and place them on tag forming a random composition.
  6. I pasted colored coconut fiber and feathers behind the wooden gear and place it on tag.

    Loved colouring them.

Hello everyone,

IMG_7788.jpg

 

 

A BRIEF TUTORIAL:

 

  1. I first coloured the brother-sister image from the “Rakhi wishes” stamp using Camlin brush markers. This is such a cute image and so much fun to colour.
  2. I then did the fancy fold as I did in my previous card. I glued the image such that whole of it was visible upon closing the card.
  3. Then I added a green pattern paper underneath the image to give it some base. Otherwise, my image will look like its floating.
  4. I finally stamped the sentiment on a cream coloured paper using red versa colour ink, and matted this circle onto a red paper.
  5. I cut the red paper with scissors to create the postage look.
