Our Eighth Guest DT is Karthikha,
 

I’m Karthikha, from Erode district in Tamilnadu. I’ve settled in Hyderabad, with my loving husband and darling daughter. I work for an MNC as a software development technical lead, and crafting is my hobby. Juggling between home, office and craft is now my hectic schedule!

I’ve been into crafting since my childhood, making simple greeting cards and trying out DIY stuff during school crafts period. I’ve always loved doing something creative and I got it from my mom, who has tried various art forms! However I’m now stuck to Paper crafts – Cards and Quilling. I entered the blog land of crafting a couple of years back and got to know a lot of tools, techniques, crafters, blogs, types of crafts and more!! And I’m still learning! I made some really good friends too!
Card making is my favorite! The happiness you see on the receiver’s eyes on being gifted a handmade card is priceless! And I feel cards make any occasion special! I love stamping, making fancy folds, reusing scraps and trying out different techniques that I learn. I also hoard wedding invitation cards and reuse them for punch outs on cards. Quilling is my next favorite craft and I love to make and wear matching jhumkas!

 Our last but not the least Ninth Guest DT is Kriti Mishra,


Over to you Kriti,

Hi, I'm Kriti Mishra from Hyderabad. I had done my masters in Information Technology and was an Asst. Prof. at a reputed engineering collage. But left the job after my daughter Akshada was born, she is 3 years old and now she allows me to do some creative work. I can see a good artist in her also.

Right from my childhood, I'm into crafting. I always loved making handmade cards and its my passion. I'm more into scrapbooks and making mini albums. I love to use different kinds of pattern papers to enhance my creativity and to share some knowledge with other people around. Previously, I  used to make to make simple handmade cards just to gift them to my loved ones and friends, but when I joined social media there I saw a huge world of crafting.

Uncovering Guest DT Team Feb'2017 - Day 1

Hello lovely crafty friends,

A very warm good morning to you all.

As you all know that from few months at Rainbow Craftykari blog, We're conducting Teaching and Learning Program, so that one can learn intricate craft projects in a simple way. To continue that chain we are back with our new Guest DT's. Take your Hot Chocolate Drink and Sit Back as here we introducing New faces of Teaching and Learning Program of Feb'17:

Our first Guest DT is Neha Lunia



Hello Crafters, Let me Introduce myself,

My name is Neha Lunia. I am from Nepal. I did my graduation from here itself. For Post graduation I went to Kolkata to continue my studies but due to some personal reasons I had to leave it in between. My craft journey started in 2014 . Back when I started Craftmaniaa(my facebook page), I didn't even knew such profession exists & it's such a large field in itself. It was my aunt who inspired me to turn my time pass hobby to profession so that I can try more new stuffs, little did I knew then it would change my life in this way. I am not sure if Juhi Khanna even knows that she had been my idol. Not only her work inspired me...even she was too kind enough to explain me few bits about crafting and how can I improve my work. I will always be thankful to her.

Currently I teach crafting to kids once a week in a school. I do love making mini albums, cards, treat boxes. I am new to this field & trying hands on new stuffs. The more I get to know it. Crafting amazes me more. I believe "once a crafter, is always a crafter".

Our Fourth Guest DT is Richa Maurya


Hello, I am Richa Maurya hailing from Patna, Bihar. By profession I am a doctor. Have just completed my M.B.B.S. and am waiting for PG counselling. I wasn't much of a crafter before. But last year I came across quilling while making a present for my mom on Mother's Day. And I got really intrigued that just a piece of paper could be turned into something so beautiful and mersmerising. And that's when my journey began. Soon created a blog to showcase my creations.

From quilling moved on to card making and mixed media. And have not looked back since. I love giving handmade cards to my friends and family. The happiness of seeing their reaction is amazing. I am really happy and super-excited to be a part of Rainbow Craftykari.

Pocket Tag Card by GDT Apeksha Kothari

Hello Crafty Friends,

A very warm good morning to you all.

Again we are back with a new tutorial and this time we have Apeksha Kothari as our Guest DT in Teaching and Learning Program. Sit back with a coffee and enjoy the tutorial. 

Over to you Apeksha,

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are doing well and settling down for this year to end and to start with a new crafty year like me :D This is my first post for Rainbow Craftykari and I totally cannot cope up with my excitement at all. Today, as part of the guest designer team, I am going to show you all how to create a cute little handy pocket tag card which can be used as a keepsake or be gifted to anyone for any occasion.

So, without wasting much time, let’s get started with it.


Please Note
: THIS IS A LONG POST :D


I would like to show you what the final result looks like and then get into the detailed process on how to make one.

 

Now, let’s see how this is put together:

This is a 10 pocket card and hence you will need 10 pieces of 4” X 8.5” black cardstock for the pockets.

To start with, take one of the 4” X 8.5” black cardstock and place it with the 8.5” (the long side lined up on the top) and score at 4 and 8. 


You will be left with a half inch flap which would be used to adhere the piece together to make the pocket. Refer the picture below to see how to add the red tape and fold the piece together and; I have taper the ends here to give a neat look to the final outcome.You will need to make 10 of these. And once all the 10 pockets are ready, we will attach them to one another.


Apply the glue to the middle section of the pocket and attach it to another pocket.


Continue gluing all the pockets to each other and you will end up with something like this.


For each pocket you would need a tag (white cardstock) measuring 3.75”X 4.5” (10 in total) and 10 tag holders to pull out the tags (half inch to three quarters of an inch in size)


With this, we are done with the base.

Now, to make the cover we would need two pieces of black card stock measuring 4”X12”and 4”X9.5” each. Score the 4”X12”piece at 4.25”and 7.25”



And score the 4”X9.5” at 1.75”and 4.75”

You will end up with a 4.75”flap on both the pieces. Adhere them together to create a long piece and fold it as shown in the picture below.


And then attach the magnet to the two overlapping flaps on the top.


With this, we are done with the cover too.

It is now time for us to attach the pockets to the cover and complete the base of the card.

Attach the pockets to the cards where in the flat bases meet each other on both the sides with either liquid glue or red tape (which ever you are comfortable with).


And you will end up with something looking like the below  


I have used the pattern paper from Papericious paper pack – “Steal the time”
For the top, I have used a happy birthday die cut in red cardstock and layered it with white cardstock. I then fussy cut it and distressed the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I then layered it on a black cardstock and fussy cut it to the shape again. I adhered it with foam tape to give it a dimensional effect. I went ahead and added a flower and a couple of butterflies with rhinestones on them. Have a closer look at it.

I also distressed the tags with Barn Door distress ink, added a butterfly as a tag holder and added a rhinestone to it.

For the top part of front side, I die cut the name “divya” in white and distressed it with Barn Door distress ink and added a couple of black rhinestones on each of the letters. Added a small butterfly punch out too.

For the bottom part of the front side, I added a doily, again distressed with Barn Door. Added a ribbon bow, butterfly punch out, a couple of buttons, a couple of mulberry flowers and a piece of net.


The card is complete. Decorate it as per your wish and comfort. Have a look at what I ended up making:
