Welcome Friends,
Rakhi is an Indian festival that celebrates brotherhood and love. It is celebrated on the full moon in the month of Sravana in the lunar calendar. To celebrate the festival in style I have created a Rakhi Gift Box for my brother. The Box contains Rakhi and chocolates. Back side of the box has a shaker greeting card. Use ribbon to close the box.
1. First make a shaker card. Size - 4.25*5.5 inch. For Cardbase use Dress my craft 250 gsm Floral Orientation paper. For front Panel use DCWV - The Citrus matstack pattern paper. Stamp and color the images using water color pencils. Hand written sentiment using Black permanent marker.
2. Then I made a simple Rakhi using wooden rings, beads and cabochons. even Kids can easily make it. Color the wooden ring using Acrylic colors. Use Glossy Accents to glue the cabochon on the wooden ring. Use paper twine to tie.
3. Make a box style envelope using 1-2-3 Punch board. Size - 9*9 inch. Paste papericious pattern papers on both the sides. size 8.75 * 8.75 inch. Decorate Front of the Envelope using die cuts, doily, flowers and sentiments.
Hi, Today I am back with a shaker card made for friendship's day. I used two of the Stampendous Spring Short Stack clear stamps for my front panel.
Using a water color paper, I water washed few colors and wrote the sentiment - best friends forever. Use a doily and few die cuts to embellish the card.
I die cut circle on a grey CS, pasted acetate from a old packaging (recycle ) , added foam tape around back side of the circle. Then I put some pink sequence in the circle sealed it though pink CS. Using foam tape I pastes the panel on a lavender CS. To give a clean look to my shaker card, I die cut a scallop from a pink PP, die cut circle inside the scallop and pasted over the shaker element. To give some interest I pasted fun stickers on the scallop - butterfly and flower. Sentiment is hand written.
