Home Decor Week - Project Display Window

Hi Tando fans! Dana here today sharing a project display piece for the Home Decor theme this week. I've been slowly decorating my craft studio with some of my favorite projects and I purchased this rustic wood and chicken wire window to showcase some of my favorite Tando projects.

I attached small hooks to the back of the chipboard arches, frames and ATCs and then simply hung them on the chicken wire.

I screwed in 3 spoon hooks so that I can hand items from the frame as well.

I think this piece would look fantastic totally full! Thanks for stopping by today!

ART: Home decor with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends! Irit is here today with my home deco  project.  I decided to alter those old, like 2 years old, wooden letters and I even made a small tutorial for you. Easy and fun and all you need are some great Tando stencils! 

Product list: 
Tando masks:
 Giovanna- Alphabet
Giovanna- Profile
 Giovanna - Eighties
Clock
Long flourish
ESF Gesso, Texture paste, chalk paints
Stamps: Rubber Dance
Ink: Ranger
Sand paper
Wooden letters

 I used texture paste, chalk paints over it and stamped the letters to fir this Naural (A), Creative (R) and Timeless (T) concepts for my wall art letters.

 If you like 3d look you can add more embellishments over the letters, such as flowers, chipboards, bling etc. I decided that I like it the way it is: flat and possible to clean.
Hope you liked my ART letters and see you soon again!

Home Decor Week - MDF Shelf

Hi everyone,

it's Home Decor week on the Tando blog and I'm here today to show you my take on the wonderful and sturdy MDF shelf that is available to play with.........

I decided to mix and match between paint and paper on this one and I'm soooo happy with how it's turned out - clean and simple but bright and cheerful!.

A heart stamp from my stash was used on some leftover paper to create some additional embellishments and I then finished off with some small dots of perfect pearls to create a border around the painted sides.

Here is what I used.........

If you fancy playing along with any of our May themes please consider linking your creations through the linky tool at the top of the page. You will be entered into the monthly draw for a chance of winning some fab Tando goodies.

Many thanks for popping by today,

Hugs

Home Decor Week!

Hello, its Karen here kicking off our 'HOME DECOR' week.  Tando Creative isn't just about chippie embelishments and little frames, we also have a wide range of Home Décor items too.  From shelves to clocks to boxes!!!!  I have taken the *LOVE LADDER* to have a play with :-D  This is a pretty little shelf unit with the letters L,O,V,E attached to the front.  I have left the letters off for another project as I just love the idea of these pretty shelves on their own.

The shelves are made of sturdy MDF.  They have just been painted & stamped with some paper attached to the shelves to cover up the little slits where the letters should go.  This is great for showing off nik-naks or little projects you have made...

Here it is with the letters on...

If you would like to join in with any of our months themes you are very welcome.  Take a look at the page at the top of the blog for more details and have some fun!!!!

Thank you for looking today and do pop back again for some more home décor projects this week, HUGS, Karen x

Small pieces of art: Free for all with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to share a couple of ATC made with Rubber Dance stamps and Tando masks and chipboards.

As you can see the theme of both is a vision of art or a Muse. So first I stamped those fantastic Rubber Dance sayings with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white powder.
Than I made those eyes and splatters using Tando masks and Earth Safe Finish Texture paste.
Both pieces were painted  with distress inks and then I added a pieces of  Tando chipboard clock that was painted with Earth Safe Finish Chalk paint in Huckleberry cobbler paint.  The painted pieces were covered than with ESF No Voc Varnish.

And those are  Tando masks I used to make this piece:
 Giovanna- Profile


Splatters

And the gorgeous Clock chipboard:

Anything Goes Quick Card

For this week's Anything Goes I've gone for another quick and simple card:

I put some of DecoArt's ~{White Modelling Paste}~ through the centre of the ~{Tornado Stencil}~ and when it was dry, added a little gelato with my finger for a slight colour.

I painted one of the flowers from the ~{Floral Grab Bag}~ with DecoArt's ~{Quinacridone Violet Fluid Acrylic}~ and then added some of the White chalk paint to the centre. Once this was dry, I added some white pen doodles.

The centre of the flower is one from the ~{Button Grab Bag}~ painted with white chalk paint and ~{Cobalt Teal Fluid Acrylic}~. This is finished off with some twine and a greeting stamp.

You can join us with our themes to be in with the chance of winning some Tando goodies. All the details are in the May Link Up button at the top of this blog.
