Merry Christmas door hanger with Tando : Anything goes with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Welcome to my Anything goes weekly project here on Tando  blog.

I made the fancy, shabby style Christmas door hanger.

   

This Tando door hanger was covered with DecoArt Media line paints and mediums over the texture paste
 masked snowflakes images (mostly seen on the handle on the top).
Large grid chipboard piece was painted with gesso and some crackle paste and added as the middle layer .
Then the embellishment cluster was made from cardstock, flowers, clay frame and metal trinket.

 I also enter this project to some web challenges:

Use embossing powder with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Tando post.

This week the design team members were challenged to make projects with embossing powders.

So here is my door hanger made with Tando stencils, chipboards, door hanger and lots of DecoArt media line products.

First I made the background with 3 different Tando mini stencils and texture paste.
Then I heat embossed the background and front chipboard pieces with gold embossing powder  and then it was misted over with acrylic paint with added water.
 Then the piece was covered with DecoArt Crackle glaze and the result is just gorgeous!

Crackle with Tando: Be ready for the New Year

  Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Tando post.

This time the designers were challenged to make projects with crackle and as you know DecoArt has the best crackle pastes ever!

So to make this altered door hanger I used Tando chipboards and added DecoArt gold acrylic and then covered the paint with Crackle glaze.

On the edges I added DecoArt crackle paste and misted it with gold mist.

 Here you can see the difference between both crackles and to pick whatever you like more for your own projects.

Project life spreads with Scrapmatts

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Today I decided to share something that is totally different for me: Pocket scrapbooking double page spread.

I am not a big fan of Project Life kind of scrapbooking as this is totally flat kind of crafting.

But as  always try to make something different as much as I can I decided to make double page with 8*8'' pockets and I really love the result and the easy life of such kind of crafting.

So here are both pages made with new Natures spirit Scrapberry's collection.

The only thing that was added to those pages other than paper and some metal pieces were Scrapmatts chipboards as I had to add some interest to those so flat pockets and those chippies are just the perfect add- on to flat pages.

Here is the first side of the double pager:

 And this is the second side of it and I am sorry for the pretty bad photos , but it's totally impossible the get great photos inside the plastic pockets.

 And now for some close- ups to the parts of the layouts.
As you can see I added a lot of Scrapberry's charms to the project as they are gorgeous and still flat pieces.

 And here is my recycling trick: use the collection name as a part of your project.
Nature spirit is just the collection name I cut and used over the photo title.

Metal flairs are also very good embellishments for flat pocket pages.

Some resin pieces can be added to the pages if those are flat piece.

Topflight inspiration with For the love of Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit  is here today and I am going to share my first August  inspiration for Topflight Stamps shop.
 This week the design team members were asked to make project with stamps from UK For the Love of Stamps company.
This is a company with great scenic stamps and I got this lovely set named Barrow of Blooms.

So here is a card I made with this lovely set.

Here is the stamps set I used:

As you can see this is a shaker card, but the simple circle shaker one that anyone with a set of circled die can make without a problem.

The inside of the circle is stamped and heat embossed. Then I colored it with Zig Real Brushes markers and added distress inked background. 

I used small beads as the shaker filler in the colors that fit the flowers on the stamped image.

The sentiment was made with two sentiment stamps from the same set, heat embossed and die cut and added on the corner.

  

I hope I inspired you a bit with my new shaker card made with the For the Love of Stamps set and you are mostly welcome to see the daily/weekly deals in our gorgeous  Topflight Stamps shop .
And if you like my work you are welcome to my own blog to see more of it.
See you in a week!
