Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mum's out there! 

It's the final day of our Mum's week and I made a card for my lovely Mum using some Tando Minis. These are perfect for cards, although I did layer my card up quite a lot! Good job I can give it to her myself!

I have used the following chipboard products on this card:

~{Mini Leaves 2}~
~{Mini Butterflies}~
~{Mini Flowers}~ and
~{Mini Hearts}~

I have used patterned papers on the heart and painted the other minis with acrylic paint and then stamped a text stamp.

I've also used the ~{Heart Background Mask}~ to add a few hearts onto some of the papers.

Mums- Mum and Me

I had this shot from our holiday of my Mum and I - it's a really nice natural one so when the chance to scrap our Mum's came up this is what I thought of.  Unusually for me I had a go at a non-paper page and just used lots of stamping an distress inks to water colour the flowers, I wanted to add some green so the Tando leaf flourish was perfect for the job, I coloured it with green distress stain and then coloured in the groves with a brown pro-marker.

March already?

Pop on over to the challenge blog to see the new theme for March.... see you there....

Focus on Barjan B Crafts

I really must show you some of the projects that the lovely peeps at Barjan B Crafts have been up to.

They are a big Tando stockist and hold regular workshops using our products.....if you're local to them in Newbold Verdon in Leicester do pop along and see what they have planned and of course take in a bit of shopping whilst your there.

These are some of the fabulous things they have been making.

Mum - a minibook

Welcome to a new week and a new theme here at the tando blog. Caro is here for you today. This week we will show you some projects for/about our mums.

I have cut some of the letters of this great chipboard album "mum"  and covered everything in Prima Marketing papers. I like the look of it and I'm really looking forward to seeing what pictures my mum will put into this little book.

 

Arch wall deco: Paste week

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here and this is my take for our paste week!

 Today I am going to  show you my  Gothic Layered Arch filled with lot of lovely  things: stamped background, hand painted flowers and pasted outlines.
I covered the arch  edges with a thick paste coverage  using my fingers and then, when it was  dry , I added some blue watercolour over it to fit the overall colours of my altered piece.

So as you all can see, paste is not for masks use only, but for edge coverage too and each and every Tando frame or tray can be  pasted over the edges  and painted to get this unique , one and only look.
See you next time with more Tando inspiration!

Hello, its all about PASTE over at Tando Creative this week. Could be any type of paste used in any way. I have chosen to push some through the Heart Mask onto one of Tandos lever arch folders. This one is very cute at only 5inches square!

I used DecoArt modelling paste which I coloured with a little DecoArt Metallics Acrylic. Can you see that I used another Tando mask behind it? The flower mask. As you can see this is to hold my little pages for the A-Z of Me challenge that a lot of people are having a go at this year.
