Love- Photo Frame by DT Mounika

Hello everyone,

I am Mounika and I am so happy to be on Rainbow Craftykari Blog with my Inspiration Post.


Everyone loves to treasure memories in a special way, and if those memories are with our kids they are all the more special! To treasure such special memories with my son who will turn 3 this August, I  made this frame.



To begin with, using Papericious black gesso I primed the frame. I then traced down the shape of the frame on a piece of pattern papers and cut it. I have used the Aazealian paper stack from Papericious's latest collection. I then stuck down the pattern paper and cut down the extras. To add some texture I used a bubble stencil with texture paste. Once it was dry I took small pattern papers and roughly arranged them. Once I was happy with the arrangement, I glued everything down. For the embellishments, I used a chipboard heart coloured using blue and yellow chalk paint. On the yellow hearts, I added glitter.



The main focal flower was made using Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms stamp and then shaped, the "love" sentiment embellishment was coloured using Prima Art Alchemy waxes. I used the same on the frame as well to highlight the texture at places. 


Here are some close ups:

Over to you Afreen,

Hello Friends,
This is Afreen here, am back with the another pictorial on how to make diamond fold card.. here is the picture of card which we are gonna to make.


Lets begin with the tutorial
Step 1: Take a piece of pink cardstock 250gsm at 12x6 inches.


Step 2: Score it at 2, 4, 8 and 10 inches.
 


Step 3: Mark a little dot at 6 inches top and bottom using pencil.. (am using pen just to have a clear look of dot) use pencil so that you can erase them after creasing.


Step 4: Now mark 3inches from the top in 2nd scored line and 3rd score line.

Now mark cross lines using pencil by jointing the points ( 1st score line top to middle 3 inches dot and end the marking at 6 inches dot at the bottom and 1st score line bottom to middle 3 inches dot and end the marking at 6 inches dot at the top) do the same for the other side also as shown in the above picture.

Step 5: Now after marking the lines use your ruler according to the line and fold it then crease it using your bone folder (ref pic below).




(creased lines will look like this)

Step 6: Fold exactly as shown in the pic.




Fold like this… Let the arrow shape creased part will go inside the card, so that u can get the diamond portion alone as 3d look.

Do the same for the other side also 


Step 7: You will get the fancy folds like this 



Step 8: Now decorate them using pattern sheets, I took print from free printable website.. do the same creasing which we did in cardstock, so that it will be easy for you to cut every single piece without any difficulty.



Adhere them to the cardstock and distress all the edges..in this I didn’t sticked the diamond shaped pattern sheet.

Step 9: I used some golden cardstock for the side triangles and center diamond portion and decorated it with doilies at center and border punch out at the left and right edges.




I've just distressed the golden cardstock using my golden gel pen, just applied at the edges and rubbed off using fingers to get the distressed effect.


Added some cut outs and tags
Step 10: Finally I added stamped images in the center and created flowers using heartfelt creations stamp and added glitters. Here are the finished project pictures.

Guest DT Shilpi Gupta: Punchcraft Sunflower Tutorial

Hello Crafters, What's up? Today I'm so glad to Welcome a crafter on our blog who is known for her Punchcraft Projects. She makes amazing and innovative Punchcraft flowers. Your mind will be blown away seeing such a beauties. Without taking much time, Let me introduce to you Shilpi Gupta from Shilps Crafts - Unique Handmade Gifts 

Over to you Shilpi 

Hello,I am Shilpi gupta. I am a software engineer by profession and a crafter by heart. I am married and have a 3 month old daughter. I started crafting 4 years back when I used to make greeting cards for near and dear ones at birthdays and anniversaries. My husband saw those greeting cards and motivated me to take it seriously and to look at it from professional's view. And then I started taking it more seriously, looking for YouTube videos tutorials, following blogs to become aware that such crafting world exists too in this world :)
I started with handmade cards then gradually progressed to flower making and scrapbooks. That day forward i never looked back.

I am so excited to be a guest designer at Rainbow Craftykari. This blog is full of inspirations, tutorials, pictorials, demos and what not. You name it and this blog has it. You will find all the basic and advanced information about the new craft products.
Though I use different kind of techniques in my crafting such as mixed media, scrapbooking, card making, flower making but I love to make different kinds of flowers more. So today I will be sharing with you all a detailed pictorial on how to make real looking sunflowers in simple steps. Girls grab your cup of coffee and sit back as this post is picture heavy.

Let’s begin:
For this we will use Heartfelt creations Classic Sunflower die.


1st step:
We will use 3 large, 3 medium and 1 small die cut outs as shown in picture to make one large size sunflower.


2nd step:
While distressing the die cut remember never apply or dab the blender directly on paper. Dab it lightly on the craft sheet near to the die cut and then in circular motion start moving the blender towards the die cut. Keep distressing the die cut in circular motion. This will ensure even spreading of ink without blotches or spots of ink.

 I have used Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Inks here, we will color the cutouts/petals. Color the whole petal using mustard seed distress ink and apply wild honey distress ink just on the pointed petals of each cutout.

3rd step:
Now we will start embossing and molding the petals to make them look real. Take the smallest pointed embossing tool and make 5-6 parallel lines from outward to inward direction as shown in the picture. This will help in curling the petals on their own. I have used Leather perforating pad underneath for embossing.


We will repeat this step with all the cutouts so that all our petals are ready. And it will look something like this. As you can clearly see in the picture, petals are slightly curled towards the center and the embossing has given depth to the petals.


4th step:
We are almost done and now we just need to arrange the cutouts to make a complete sunflower. We will glue down all the cutouts in offset position one upon another. Two petals should not be overlapping each other while arranging the cutouts. For gluing we will use Aleene’s Tacky glue. Its best glue to be used in punch craft and flower making.


After arrangement of all the cutouts, this should look like the below given picture.


5th step:
And the last step is to complete the center of the flower. I have used mustard seeds for the center as it gives that perfect natural look to the sunflower. You can also use brown glitter balls.

Note: Use transparent adhesive to stick the glitter balls to the center. I have used Inkessentials glossy accent. It is strongest and transparent in nature.

And here is your completed sunflower. Isn’t it beautiful? Blooming as if just now plucked from the garden.


It is rightly said flower is not complete without a leaf. Here we will also see how to make leaves for this flower.

6th step:
We will take punch cutouts using lily punch. You can use 100- 120 gsm colored cardstock available easily in Rainbow Craftykari Store. I have used 100 gsm dark green colored cardstock. You can also use 150gsm white iris sheet and then distress it using desired color.


7th step:
We will emboss these leaves in the same way as we have embossed flower cutouts creating vertical lines.




Are these sunflowers and leaves super easy to make? So our flower and leaves are all ready to be assembled on a card. And here we have our finished card.


 I have used RTV Clear silicon glue to adhere flowers and leaves to the card base. This glue is my first choice because it gives me ample time to arrange my leaves and flowers. It takes around 30 mins to set permanent. Unlike hot glue gun which dries as soon as it comes out of the gun which makes it impossible to rearrange the flowers and leaves in case one does not find it pleasing to the eyes.


Hope you all liked the tutorial as much I do. You can leave your queries in the comments section and we shall get back to you.
