Tanda Teaser 51 - Tanda in the background


Hi and welcome to my first ever post on a Blog!


Thank you Sheila and Wendy for all the challenges so far- and a big thanks to all who took part in Blogland and on the Forum! There were some great cards!.....I felt really honoured, and I have to say a little daunted, when Alex asked me to step in as Sheila has too many work commitments at the moment.


Anyway....here goes with my first ever Challenge....


This week's Tanda Teaser is called 'TANDA IN THE BACKGROUND' We want to see you using Tanda stamps to build up the background for your cards this week. You can use any theme in my example I have used advert plates 3 and 4 and postage set 1 and travel set 1.


Have fun with this one, post your work on your blog and mention the Tanda Teaser with a link. Then leave a comment with the static link to your direct post. We would love to come and check out your creations! If like me, you do not have your own blog you can still take part- check out the Tanda Stamp Forum. There is a Gallery and section for people to do the challenge Forum based!
Have fun everyone
regards
Sue

Tanda Teaser 50 - Bear Necessities!

Thank you Sheila for last week's challenge - and a big thanks to all who took part in Blogland and on the Forum! There were some beautiful cards!

This week's Tanda Teaser is called 'BEAR NECESSITIES'. We want to see cards with images of bears - it could be a Grizzly bear, Panda bear, Koala bear, Polar bear. Yogi Bear, Pooh Bear, Rupert, Sooty or cute little teddy bears! OK so now I am showing my age - some of you are probably not very familiar with Rupert!

There are no restrictions on what you use - you don't have to be a stamper either, just use whatever you have in your stash!!

Have fun with this one, post your work on your blog and mention the Tanda Teaser with a link. Then leave a comment with the static link to your direct post. We would love to come and check out your creations!

Tanda Teaser 49 - Initial Reaction!!!

Hi There
Well it's that time of week again........time for a new Tanda Teaser.
Many thanks to Wendy for last weeks super challenge and also to the ladies who took part. We had some beautiful entries.

This week I have been playing with my TandaStamps Beyond Wonderland Alphabet plate which is meant to be cut up to use as an alphabet but I have left mine whole for use as a background stamp which looks gorgeous..........and that is where I found the inspiration for this weeks challenge.......to use initials on your cards.
There are many ways you can make your initial pieces.......chipboard, die cuts, print on the computer, stickers etc..........and don't forget that you do not have to be a stamper to enter the challenges........whatever your style or medium we welcome anyone who would like to join in.

So make your card and if you have a blog then post your card with a link to the Tanda Teaser blog. Leave a comment in the post for this weeks challenge with a static link to your work so that we can come and see what you have been up to.
If you do not have a blog then come and join in on the TandaStamps Craft Forum where you can add your card to the gallery.

OK...........Get set...........go!!!

Have fun

Tanda Teaser 47 - Flowers In The Round

Hi There
Sheila here and it is my turn once again to set your challenge for this week.
Wendy did a grand job of last week's and I must apologise for not getting a card done for it.
With the beautiful sunshine we have been having my thoughts have been wandering out into the garden and towards flowers. I love flowers and I love the softer look circles can give to a card so this week I am going with those thoughts and I challenge you to make a card incorporating flowers and circles in some way.
It doesn't have to be stamping. Just make a card however you make it best and then just post it on your blog with a link to the Tanda blog. Leave a comment in the comments section with a static link to your blog and everyone wll come and visit and leave you some nice comments.
Have Fun

Tanda Teaser 45 - On The 'CASE'

Morning All
As from today I will be working on a Wednesday so when it is my turn to set the challenge I will be posting it at some ungodly hour of the morning as I am today.

Thanks Wendy for the last challenge.......I really enjoyed making my cowboy card.......and thanks to all who joined in.

Goody Bag to be won this week.

This week's challenge is something a little bit different to anything we have done so far.
I am challenging you to CASE a card from my blog HERE.
You can choose any card you like and once you have done post your work on your blog.
Add a link to the TandaStamps Blog and then leave a comment in the challenge comments with a static link to your card.
If you don't have a blog you can still join in. Visit the TandaStamps Craft Forum and leave a comment in the appropriate thread. You can also add your picture there.

For this challenge I will be giving Andrew, Tanya and Alex the task of choosing the best card and there will be a Goody Bag for the winner.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one.

Sheila-x-
