TOMBOW USA AND WAFFLE FLOWER BLOG HOP


This week Tombow USA is teaming up with Waffle Flower Crafts to bring you a blog hop full of inspiration! Make sure you visit Tombow USA and Waffle Flower on Facebook and tell them how much you loved this Blog Hop!
You were on Sabrina's Blog but if you need to go back at the beginning go to theWaffle Flower Blog!

I made this fun card with the awesome dies and stamps I got from Waffle Flower!
I used the Waffle Flower Flutter Stamp Set and the Waffle Flower Rosette Hearts Template Die.  The banner and little butterflies came with the die set.  I also used the Waffle Flower Tiny Twine Bow Die on one of my hearts.  

The Rosette Heart Die makes these strips that you accordion fold to make the hearts. I attached the 2 strips together with my Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.  Mono Multi glue dries fast and was perfect for this.  I then glued the ends together and made the heart rosette.

While my rosette hearts were drying, I adhered pattern paper to my card with my favorite Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Pattern Adhesive.  Then I stamped the hearts from the Flutter stamp set.

To attach the rosette hearts to the card, I used the new Tombow Adhesive Dots.  Then I used Mono Multi Glue to add the butterflies to the card.

Here's what you can win!
  

Waffle Flower is giving away Doily Square Die and Doily Square Stamp Set.
You have until June 5th, 2015 to comment and the winner will be announced on June 6th.
If you want an extra entry go to the Tombow USA Facebook Page and let them know what your favorite thing on this hop was!

TOMBOW USA MIXED MEDIA WEEK



This week is Mixed Media week on the Tombow USA Blog!!  And I love mixed media!  I had so much fun with this!!
I made a mixed media canvas for my project and I used all Tombow products to do it!!  This project is super easy and a lot of fun!
Supplies:



I started by coloring my Gelli Plate with all of these Tombow Dual Brush Pens.  I sprayed some water on top and put my white cardstock right on the plate.  I used a brayer to be sure I got color all over the paper.

The paper came out beautiful!  I let it dry.  Usually when I make a mixed media piece, I go over some areas with gesso.  But I had a great idea!!  I used some Tombow Wide Trac Correction Tape instead!  I used the correction tape and scraped it with a palette knife just like I do with my gesso.

The next step in my process is always using spray ink and stencils.  I have this manual air pump to spray the ink with my Tombow Dual Brush Pen through the stencil!  Sweet!!

When that is dry, I start stamping.  Again, I used my black Dual Brush Pen to ink up my stamps.  I even put the ink on a circle cup I have and stamped some circles on my piece.  

Then I used my Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue to adhere my book paper and picture.  Mono Aqua glue is the best for paper adhesion.  Remember, the markers are water based so the glue will reactivate them.
I used the Aqua glue on all the edges of the paper and behind the picture and book paper and adhered this to a canvas!  I went around the canvas with some distress ink, the only non-Tombow product I used.

And that's it!  A perfect mixed media piece of work using *almost* only Tombow products!!  I really challenged myself with this piece and I love it!  I am going to put it up in my house!

I can't wait to see what you make!!

MAKE CARDS WITH YOUR MIXED MEDIA BACKGROUND



Last month, I blogged about Making Your Own Mixed Media Backgrounds for Bella Crafts Publishing.  This month I talked about making cards with your backgrounds.
Talk about taking it to the next level, right?  I am in LOVE with how these cards turned out!

On the left, all I needed was a white marker and on the right, I used one of my "Big Bold Blossoms" Stamps (and lots of other things).  You can see my full tutorial on the 
Bella Blog now!!

I hope this shows you just 1 of the million possibilities you have when you make your own backgrounds.  And if you are interested, I highlighted the link to my new stamps too!!

Keep being awesome!

BIG BOLD BOUQUET



Hello!  Today I am sharing an art journal spread I made, with my new "Big Bold Blossoms" Stamps From Sin City Stamps!

Supplies:


First, I stamped 3 of my flower stamps several times on white cardstock and cut them out.

Next I painted the Radiant Gel paint on my art journal pages.  I waited about a minute and sprayed a little water on it.  When you lightly wipe off your water with a paintbrush, you get both brush strokes and water drop marks.  I've only done this with acrylic paints.  How cool is that for the background!

Now I painted my flowers with Twinkling H2O's.  I used 3 different orange colors, 1 yellow color and 2 green colors.  I love how shimmery these are!!  And mixing the colors is so smooth and delightful!  These are so fun to work with!!

Because it was overcast and rainy I had to take the pictures inside and you can't see all of the sparkle :(  The Twinkling H2O's have Mica in them and they sparkle like crazy!  The Radiant Gels are iridescent paints and shine!!  I will try to remember to take a better picture to show you how shiny this is!

Thanks so much for visiting!  I really hope you check out all Sin City Stamps has to offer, and while you there you can get a set of my stamps!  There are 8 large red rubber stamps for just $20!

TOMBOW MAY FLOWERS CHALLENGE



This week the Tombow USA Blog has a challenge for you, so wake up and smell the 

flowers!  The challenge is "May Flowers"

For this challenge, I made a card using Tombow's Recycled Color Pencils and my new



You could win this awesome prize!!


 I started by stamping the face on ivory cardstock.  Then I stamped the flowers on white cardstock and cut them out.
 
 
 
 
 
Next I used the Recycled Color Pencils to color the flowers.  I started with yellow in the 

center and worked my out, then I colored pink and finished with dark pink.  When you color 

with pencils you should color in circles so you don't get lines in your coloring.
 
 
I also colored a little bit of pink pencil on the cheeks of the face.  There is no way to do that 

without leaving some circular marks.  In the picture above, I pointed out the cheek color and

 the lines in the flower.  No matter how hard I try, there are always some marks.  And I have

 a solution!  Use a paper towel and "buff" you coloring!
 
Just take the paper towel and put it around your finger and "buff" the coloring!  It makes 

your coloring positively shine!  And the Recycled Color Pencils by Tombow are AWESOME

 to use!  They are so soft and they color wonderfully!
 
When I was done coloring and buffing, I cut a piece of patterned paper and attached the 

face to it with the Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Pattern Adhesive.  I also used it attach the 

flowers.  I cut some of the leaves off of the flowers and adhered them in different areas too.
 
This was a super fun project to make and I love how it turned out!!
 
Now, it's your turn!

Add your wonderful creations to the Link Up Here!  You have You have from Monday May 

11th through Sunday May 24th at 11:55 pm EST to enter.  The winner will be announced on

 Tuesday May 26th right here on the Tombow blog!
 
Good Luck!!

TOMBOW USA AND PAPER ISSUES BLOG HOP

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Paper Issues Blog Hop!
You probably got here from Kathy Skou’s blog but if you stumbled across my blog go the Paper Issues Blog to start!

I made a travel journal with the papers and embellishments from Paper Issues, and Tombow USA adhesives.
The papers are from the Paper Issues store.  They are from Webster's Pages and Crate Paper.  And we also got an AWESOME embellishment kit called a "Swag Bag".  How cute is that??  I used Tombow's Mono Aqua Liquid Glue for the pockets I made in the book because it is the best for paper to paper adhesion.  I used my favorite Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Pattern Adhesive, and the new Adhesive Dots to adhere the embellishments to the book.  And for the small stars on the front I used the amazing Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive.

I made a video about the making of this book, but I was far too ambitious!  I made a 45 page book with the products from Paper Issues!  I hoped for a short video but it turned out to be 20 minutes *sigh*.  I had sooo much fun making the book though!  If you want to see what I did with all of my "Swag Bag" embellishments, check out the video!




And of course there is a giveaway!!



The Tombow USA prize includes: Tombow Mono Adhesive Permanent, NEW Tombow Adhesive Dots,Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue and Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue.

TOMBOW USA AND ART IMPRESSIONS BLOG HOP

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Art Impressions Blog Hop!

You probably got here from Dana Warren's blog but if you stumbled across my blog go the Art Impressions’ Blog to start!

I was so happy to get the Art Impressions Tuscon Try Fold Set to use for the hop!  This set has 3 stamps, that when stamped in a certain way (instructions come with this set), make a beautiful 3 sided card!  There is also a cute sentiment to put inside.
I know, you are thinking...That isn't a Try Fold card Daniella!!  But I thought it would be fun to use the stamps together on a 6"x6" card!  Is that a gorgeous Tuscon scene or what!?!?  The stamps layer together perfectly when used on a flat card.  They actually create depth have so much detail.  

I used 3 sets of Tombow Dual Brush Pens to "watercolor" my scene, Brights, Secondary and Landscape.

I picked several colors from all the sets and applied the colors to my craft sheet.  You could also use a Tombow Blending Palette to apply and mix your colors.  Using the blender pen that comes in each Dual brush Pen Set, you pick up 1 or a bit of all 3 colors and apply to your image.  You create a wonderful watercolor effect and make your own custom colors!  The blender pen is amazing!  This beautiful Tuscon scene looks like it was water colored!


I am so in love with this!  I finished this card off by adhering it to a card base with my Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Pattern Adhesive.

You could win this awesome prize!!


Rafflecopter Giveaway Widget

The Tombow USA prize includes: Tombow Mono Adhesive Permanent, NEW Tombow Adhesive Dots, Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue and NEW Tombow Foam Tape.
