How can we frame Spring? Easy way with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here and this is my Frame project. I know, it's my favorite Printers tray again, but it is a frame after all. This time it's a pastel spring colors project and I used Tando lovely stencil inside the window too. I used one of Tando basic shapes as my frame backing and both were inked with Ranger distress ink to this lovely spring color.
The mask was used with heavy molding paste and then inked with a mix of inks over.

And those are the products I used for this project

My Birthday VOODOO - as a lucky charm

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to our Black and Pink week. Irit is here and today is my Birthday too (no, I am not asking for presents and not's ask me  about the age...)
This week I decided to make a simple Mixed Media project using both Tando chipboards and stencils and here is a result.
Please say Welcome to my VOODOO mask  I think, not even sure, that it can be a  kind of my good luck charm, so let it be.

I made it with black gesso over the bare chipboard piece and then misted the wet gesso with pink mist to get this mute look of some blacks around the mask image.
Some feathers were added on the back and this small art piece was done.

Thanks for being here and see you next week or so.

Back to Basics - 7 years old

I love the grab bags with their mix of different shapes on a theme...and the stars are one of my favourites, I could quite happily fit several of them on any page or project.  For this page I decided to paint them; I started by covering them in white acrylic and once dry added a thick layer of yellow acrylic.  Whilst the yellow paint was still wet I sprinkled on some fine clear glitter just to add a little sparkle to the proceedings as it is a birthday page.  The stars help frame my photo and I stuck them around the edge of my stitched circle.

The photo is obviously a 7th birthday one - I'm not sure how the reflection of the candles got picked up in his hair but I really like it.

Use your old products tutorial for the Bling week

This is a time for blings and glitters and everything shiny on Tando blog.
Irit is here today to show you my new card and I have a small tutorial for you too.
So here is my bling project: a card I made with microbeads over  this orange tacky tape and I used Tando chipboard shape , covered with paper, to stamp my focal image for this not so baby colors baby card.

And some close ups too

And if you want to know how I made the strips- here is a small tutorial I made for this technique

I made a vintage style BABY CARD using glue tape, micro beads and a lot of patience.

Supply list:

Cardstock- two tones of pink (American Crafts)

Stamps: Oh, Baby set - Inspired by Stamping

Ink: Clearsnap- dark purple

Scalloped chipboard - Tando Creative

Patterned paper- Glitz

Tacky 1/2'' tape

Micro beads in 3 colors

Flowers, rhinestones

And now to work!

1. Cover a piece of a cardstock with Tacky tape from the angle as shown.

2. Expose one piece of your tape each time and add one color of micro beads . Don't try to make it more then one strip a time, it comes messy and sticky. Continue with all strips  till they all are covered with beads.

3. Make a frame from a darker cardstock and glue it over the beaded piece with 3d glue.

4. Adhere the framed piece over a lighter cardstock.

5. Adhere a piece of patterned paper over the chipboard piece and stamp over it. Use clear embossing powder and your heat gun to heat emboss the image. Ink the edges with the same ink. Add a crystal and glue it over the frame.

6. Stamp a sentiment with the same ink over the same paper, make a flag, ink around and adhere with 3d foam glue.

7. Add small blings strip on the left side of the frame. Glue some flowers and enjoy your card.

And some more tips now:

You don't need to use micro beads with this technique. Glitter, flock and embossing powders with do the job as well over the tacky tape. If you use embossing powders, add one strip of a glue a time, as the heat will damage  the next one.
