Love and hearts week with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Welcome to my new Tando post and this week we were challenged to make projects with hearts and love things.
So without any  additional thought I grabbed my most loved Heart shaped printer's  Tando tray and made this project that is full of hearts and love and was just a perfect gift  for Valentine.
As you can see I used tons of Tando goodies and you can see the full list at the end of this post.
Anyway all shapes were painted and them glittered or heat embossed with Stampendous glitter or embossing powders.
 The background cardstock is from DCVW, but this is the only products that you can't find in TANDO shop.
Here you can see the hearts painted inside and painted around with DecoArt Copper paint and then glittered over.
 The key hole heart and the key are covered with Stampendous embossing powder.

The sentiment was heat embossed with copper powder and the frame was covered with Crackle glaze over the dark red DecoArt paint.

Tando products used:
Mini heart printer tray


Set of 5 keys

Tando minis Hearts



Valentine words

Frantage mica kit

DecoArt Media line

Color Theme - Santa's Key

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a project that I made for my young daughters for the Color Theme this week - a key for Santa. Each year my husband and I receive a lot of questions about Santa and how he will get into the house. I hope to avoid some of those questions this year with this special key!

I selected a key from the Set of 5 keys and colored it with ink and then a layer of glaze. I then added a rhinestone heart and a fun tassel. I'm going to give this to my girls to hand on the door Christmas Eve along with this poem:

Hearts and Swirls - Queen of Hearts Arch

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing an arch I created for the Hearts and Swirls theme this week. I started this piece by embossing a Large Straight Edged Arch Frame with gold embossing powder and then backing it with patterned paper. I purchased a book of Alice in Wonderland themed paper dolls a while back and use the queen from that book as the focal point of this project.

I painted several different sized hearts from the Grab Bag of Hearts with dimensional glitter paint. I further embellished some of the hearts with glass beads, crackle paint, and red roses. I also added a key from the Set of 5 Keys. I have the white-lined set, and I simply left the key as-is straight out of the packaging and embellished it with a small rhinestone.

I added a "Q" to this heart with the Letters Mask.

You can find this chipboard and more in the Tando Creative Retail Store! We'd love to have you join the Hearts and Swirls Challenge!

Fun & Games - King & Queen ATC Set with Dana

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a pair of ATCs for the Fun and Games theme this week. I mounted each playing card onto an Artist Trading Card base. If you've never used a Tando ATC, they are absolutely fantastic and hold up to several layers of wet mediums and all kinds of abuse!

I selected a heart from the Grab Bag of Hearts and painted it red. Once the paint dried I applied some Inka-Gold over the top and then sealed it with a coat of glaze. The text on this card reads "You hold the key to my heart."

I colored this key from the Set of 5 Keys the same way. The text on this card reads "love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness."
