Anything Goes Week- Tando New Product Launch as seen on Hochanda.

 

Morning all Fiona here today to showcase 

Tando's new product Launch as seen on Hochanda on Monday 15th March 2021.

I had so much fun creating the samples for this launch. This is a picture heavy post as I have so much to show so bear with .

First up is the new 6x6 Ring Binder with Inner pockets and inserts plus the new build a scene spines.

I decorated the binder covers with Distress Ink Sprays and stencils with a faux bleaching effect with some stamping for added interest.

The build a scene spines are fab layered up in four layers to perfectly fit the spine of the binder. More stamping and painting to decorate the spine to tie in with the covers.

It has dividers to decorate for the inside too which were completed to match the outside covers.

Allso on the inside cover there is a deep pocket to construct for holding Tags, Envelopes and Ephermera etc.

Next up is the 6x6 template covers and spine pack. Plus an added bulild a scene spine used on this one too.

This binder was decorated in a rusty patina effect using Lindy's Moon shadow Sprays, some scrapbooking paper a Tando MDF large gear and a mitform castings porthole. The fish element is also from the new release Minis Tags Fish.

A build a scene spine in fish was also used on the spine to finish.

Next up are the new release Wall Hangings. These are great and are assembled in four layers like the spine scenes to give a totally 3d effect.

I opted for the fish again for the wall hanging and decorated with the same rusty patina effect as the binder. The wall hangings and the spine scenes come in four options,

Fish, Caligraphy, pet and potions. You can have so much fun with the new releases so do hop on over to the Tando Store and check them out.

do check back the rest of this week to see what the other creative team members

have created using the Tando new releases.

Thanks for stopping by today

stay safe

3D Week- Fiona Randall

 

Morning all Fiona here with this weeks theme 3D.

 I have used one of the Tando Ring Binders as my base substrate but I cut the flap off to make a book binder. Icoated the whole binder inside and out with DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon Black. I embossed a piece of 300gsm Black Cradstock with a 3d embossing folder. Cut to size to fit the front cover and glued into place. I then gave the whole binder a coat of DecoArt Media Ultra Matte Varnish inside and Out. I then constructed my centre piece using Various Tando elements and layered them up until I was happy. Then gave it a Rusty Patina effect and finished with some white splatters and Metallic Lustre. This was then mounted onto the front cover of the binder to finish.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stay Safe

Anything Goes Week - Face your Fears by Nikki K.

Good morning,

Hope you are having a good week.

Today I am sharing a tag I made in monochrome colours, which is unusual for me, but I loved how this one turned out, and have done some more since.

I put some modelling paste through a stencil, and then painted the whole tag in grey.  White Antiquing Cream was added over the top, and wiped back.

I added some stamping with a background stamp of my choice, you could use any.

I put some modelling paste on to the feathers, and painted them black.  The words were stamped in Archival onto textured card, distressed at the edges, and cut and added to the tag.  The whole tag was edged in Distress ink.

A 'washer' was rusted with paint and added to the hole, and a nice piece of rough ribbon threaded through.

Hope you like it, don't forget to check out the rest of the team's work this week. x

Best Wishes,

Nikki K.

Love & Hearts Theme Week - with Nikki K.

Morning everyone,

Today I'm sharing a tag made for the 'Love & Heart's' theme week.  I thought I'd go with the 'secret admirer' slant,  because if I have any, they are definitely secret!!

I put some modelling paste through a stencil, onto the Tando tag.  This was then given a coat of grey paint that I mixed with Tinting Base and Carbon Black paint.  I covered that in White Antiquing Cream, and rubbed back to give depth to the background.  Some red and black stamping in paint finished this off.

The Tando heart was painted in Red, and stamped.  Over this I put a layer of Crackle Glaze.

A book plate, numbers, bolts and nuts were painted in rust colours, and a sentiment stamped for the book plate.

I added rusty wire to the top of the tag, and shaped the top like a little rustic heart.  I didn't glue the heart down, so it moves as you move the tag, which is quite nice.

Hope you like it and can join the rest of the team this week for more inspiration.

Best Wishes,

Nikki K.

Faux Wood week with Nikki

Morning all,

Today I'm sharing a 'weathered' painted wooden look with you, on one of my favourite Tando pieces, the lovely Heart 3d Round Basket.  I love the different looks you can achieve on this, there are so many ways of painting it!

I started by laying all the pieces out flat, and painting both sides with tinting base.  Some Crackle paint was added in thin patches, following the 'grain'  in one direction.

Paint was brayered, again in one direction only, in two colours, (a mixed up blue with Cobalt Blue Hue & Tinting base, and then a slightly watered down burnt umber.  This gives the appearance of weathered wood.  It's also nice as some of the white still shows through, to give it another dimension.

I also added with a dry brush, some touches of Blue Green, to look more like beach hut painted wood.

'Screws' were added by painting Tando elements in burnt Umber & Pyrrole Orange, and some Quin Gold added as a rust 'drip'

I ran my fingers down all the edges of each panel with Burnt Umber before assembling, to make it look more like planks of wood. 

The whole piece was finished with a few coats of Ultra Matte Varnish, to protect the board and screws.

I really had fun making this piece, and it's pride of place in my 'Coastal' Conservatory. 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the team's Faux Wood design's this week.

Happy Crafting,

Nikki K.
