Leaves and Frames

Hi!  It's Monday and the beginning of another theme.  This week we are mixing it up using leaves with frames (both Tando) .  Here is my contribution...

I have used one of the *PRINTER TRAYS* for my project and added a variety of leaves.  We have a lot of choice available for anyone who loves nature!  For my printer tray I chose the *LEAF FLOURISH* to go over the top edge. Them a few leaves from the *MINI LEAVES 3* and of course a tree from the *FIR TREES SET* .  They have all been painted in various greens and then had a thin layer of  *CRACKLE GLAZE* added. To add a bit more interest I have included some bits from a pine cone and some dry moss.

Thank you for taking a peek today, take care, Karen x

Snowy Window Mini Printers Tray Christmas Card

Hi! Dana here today sharing the Mini Printers Tray Christmas card I created for the Modeling Paste theme this week. I had a lot of fun turning the tray portion of this design into a snowy window scene. I painted the chipboard tray piece red and backed the tray with some vintage images before gluing it into the card. I applied DecoArt Snow-Tex to the corners of the tray segments. Then, I added a coat of glitter glue to the tray frame for an extra frosty finish.

I decorated the inner left side of the card, and the front and back covers with patterned paper, washi tape, vintage seasonal die-cuts, and dimensional snow flakes that I covered with white glittered flock. I finished this card with a gold bell, so it sounds as festive as it looks.

Anything goes with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome  my Anything goes Tando weekly post!

As you all most probably know I am totally in love with Tando Printer's trays.

But this new tray I made is a bit different as I made it with the Tando skeleton and made it as something that can be even wonderful.

Here are some more photos of this project:

 And a close- up to the Sugar Scull that was stamped with blue pigmented ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then colored with permanent markers.

The background stamping was also heat embossed and colored.

I mostly used Ranger distress inks to make my background and added some white mist and some distress paint over the tray.

 I hope you like my new tray!

See you soon with more Tando inspiration.

Anything Goes - St. Patrick's Day Mini Printers Tray

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Dana here with you sharing the Mini Printers Tray I altered for the Anything Goes theme this week. This set comes with two more trays and a cover. I used just one tray and the base for this project.

I painted the tray with DecoArt Crafter's Acrylic Paint, first with Holiday Green, and then with Light Antique White. Between coats of acrylic paint, I spread on a layer of crackle effect to produce a weathered finish.

I filled the tray with cotton backed muslin that I dyed with bleeding art tissue paper for added dimension. The tissue paper was a fun way to color fabric. I love the shades of greens, blues, and yellows that spread with just a spritz of water!

I filled the tray with lace, a bottle cap embellishment, a bright orange paper flower with hand-stitched stem and leaves, plastic letters to spell "lucky" that I colored with a gold paint pen, and a stamped number 17.

I finished the edge of this tray with Stampendous Spoonful of Gold Dust.
