Tombow Challenge: April Showers!

Happy Monday!! I am hosting the Tombow Challenge for this month and the theme is April Showers! 

To play with us just do a project with this theme. It can be whatever you want: a card, scrapbook layout, project life layout, smash book page, you can alter your boots or your umbrella! Just have fun with it! 

For the background I used a cool technique where I write with a Tombow Dual Brush Pen on a Blending Pallet and then I used the mister on top of the scribble to make it a colorful little puddle and then I drip it on the paper. It's like watercolors but a lot less messy. I used pink and blue dual brush pens and also a little of Mister Huey's Blizzard Mist to add some shimmer.

 I embossed a Peachy Keen Stamps Face on Vellum and sewed around the cloud shape I made. I left a little space open to add some sequins on the inside and then I sewed it to close it. You may wonder how did I glued the vellum if you can't see the adhesive!! I used the NEW Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive! Which is one of the prizes you can win if you participate on this challenge!

I also sewed a bit on the bottom to mimic raindrops and the added some sequins with the Mono Aqua Liquid Glue, to glue the stars from May Arts I used the New Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive. 

For my second project I made a project life using the photo that inspired this challenge!  

Here is Miss Cloud again with the sequins and glued on to the card with the New Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive! I also did the watercolor splatter effect here with the Tombow Dual Brush Pen. 

 I made a confetti pocket!  

Here I glued a star with the New Tombow Xtreme Adhesive and I glued the bow I made with the Tombow Power Tabs.

Here I just wrote some journaling with my typewriter. I used the Tombow Mono Removable Adhesive (one of the prizes) to glue this card to a bigger paper while I typed.

Here I just used washi tape, stickers, enamel dots and a cut from my Silhouette. 

Okay to recap:
The theme is April Showers!
You have until  Monday April 7th at midnight to participate!
Remeber that voting starts on Tuesday April 8th so tell your friends to vote!
Winner will be announced on Wednesday April 9th!

My Mind's Eye Blog Hop with Tombow!

Hi and Welcome to the My Mind's Eye and Tombow USA Blog Hop! 
You probably came from Tonya's Blog but if you happened to stumble across my blog go to the Tombow USA Blog to start!

I am super excited for today's hop! MME is one of my favorite companies and they are responsible for my Enamel Dots addiction. For my project I made a layout using the Now and Then: Dorothy Collection.

For the title I used my Silhouette Cameo and since it's thin I used the fine tip of the Mono Aqua Liquid Glue. 

This circle is from one of the 3x4 cards. I added a brad, enamel dots, enamel shapes and sequins. I also used washi tape. The sketchy circle is a free cut file. 

I embellished around the photo with lots of stickers, a 3x4 card, some brads and enamel dots.

For the flair button I removed the adhesive dot and the pin and used the Xtreme Permanent Adhesive to glue it to the layout.

To glue all the papers I used the Mono Adhesive Permanent.

I hope you enjoyed my project!

Blog Hop with Tombow and Stampendous!

Hi and Welcome to the Tombow and Stampendous Blog Hop! 
You probably came here from Kristine's Blog  but if you happened to stumble across my blog go to the Tombow Blog to begin.
For my project I did a sort of mixed media 12x12 using the Cling Jumbo Peruvian Lily Stamp.

I colored the hair, flowers and eyes with the Tombow Dual Brush Pens for the rest of face I used Soft Pastels. 

First I measured the flowers to see how big the head should be. I used the Jumbo Perfectly Clear Handle and it rocks! It is so light but big! 

All the papers I used are from the Happy Go Lucky Collection from Fancy Pants. I used the Tombow Mono Adhesive Removable to glue the dress template on the patterned paper.

I wrote the Frida Khalo quote with Recollections letter stickers. I used the NEW Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive to glue the May Arts trim on the dress. 

For the necklace and earrings I used Epiphany Crafts Round 14 tool and I glued it using the NEW Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive.


We will HAVE 3 LUCKY WINNERS.

Epiphany Crafts: Boy Cards

Happy Monday! This is Jennie kicking off Cards weeks! Today I am showing baby boy cards!


One of the tools I used for this card is the new Shape Studio Tool Butterfly!


I did little clusters of embellishments. I started with a 1 1/2 Scallop Circle, the Round 25 tool (or a 1 inch circle punch), a label, a shape on top and finally I sprinkled some Enamel Dots.


For this Oval Shape I used a My Mind’s Eye Tiny word sticker.


To frame the Round 14 Bubble Caps I used a button. You can look around your slightly bigger buttons to find nice frames for the Bubble Caps.


For my second card I took a simpler approach. Fist I splattered red, yellow and green mists on the card base and let it dry.


I did the layering of papers on the bottom first and then added the letters on the top. The letters sort of disappear on the background so I started coloring them black but them they looked too harsh so I let 2 letters in the natural cork. I made these letter with cork (that you can buy in any craft store) and an Avery Elle Alpha Die. I replaced the O with the Bubble Cap to make it a bit more fun (and I was kinda obsessed with that kite and I really wanted to use it).


On the top left corner I just added some washi, a tiny stripe of paper, a bubble cap and some enamel dots. In case you haven’t noticed I love using Tiny Words stickers with my Epiphany Crafts Tools!

Thursdays with Tombow: Project Life Going Home

Happy Thursday! Here I am again with another Project Life Spread! Flair buttons and enamel shapes are really trendy right now. I am trying to keep bulk pieces to a minimum so I am what I do is remove the foam adhesive that comes on the back and I use the new Tombow Xtreme Adhesive!


On the bottom of this page I used a small plastic bag and I glued a flair to the bag using the Xtreme Permanent Adhesive.


On this side I used a small envelope from Fancy Pants Designs to keep some of my journaling inside. For the Enamel Shapes from Pinkfresh Studio I used my Tombow Xtreme Adhesive and it worked great!


For some of my photos and embellishments I used the Mono Permanent Adhesive!


Here is a close up at the flair from Fancy Pants Designs and at the enamel shape.

The button on the bag under the heart is also from Fancy Pants and it had a foam piece of adhesive so I removed it and I used the Xtreme Permanent Adhesive.


To glue the die cuts I made on my Cameo I used the Mono Permanent Adhesive.

This typewriter flair is a little bit different since it has a hollow back I used a Tombow Power Tab. To type on the label sticker I cut around the circle and glued it to a piece of paper with the Tombow Mono Removable Adhesive.



I hope you enjoyed this post!

Thursdays with Tombow: Little Old Us

Happy Thursday! In a desperate attempt to call Spring I made this Spring inspired layout with a few shiny embellishments!
I used the My Mind's Eye Collection Now and Then: Dorothy and to glue the photo and papers I used the Mono Adhesive Permanent. 
 I glued the button with the twine using the NEW Tombow Xtreme Adhesive.
 The NEW Xtreme Permanent Adhesive also worked with sequins and since it's clear I used it on clear sequins. To cut the title I used the  Silhouette Cameo with the font Xiomara. To glue it I used the fine tip of the Mono Aqua Liquid Glue.
 I made lots of splatters with glimmer mist.
 I made the tiny pink bow with May Arts Ribbon and the NEW Xtreme Permanent Adhesive. To put the bow on the layout I used Tombow Power Tabs.
 Under the photo I used tiny pompoms and I went crazy around my layout with my  sewing machine.
 From this angle you can see all the shiny stuff better.
I hope you enjoyed this post!
