TOMBOW USA AND DIE-NAMITES BLOG HOP

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Die-Namites Blog Hop!

You probably got here from Pam Bray’s blog, but if you stumbled across my blog go theTombow USA Blog to start!

I have this super cute card to share with you today.

I started by using a marker spritzer air tool with a Tombow Dual Brush Pen (bright green) to get that spray ink effect on the background.  Next, I cut my die cuts.  I used Die-Namites Swirly Butterfly and Bird Wreath dies.  They are so pretty and intricate!  Love them!  I die cut them both in 2 different colors, lime green and purple.  I cut pieces of each diecut and glued all of the die cuts and pieces to the card with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.  Adding some green swirls to the purple butterfly is so fun!  I attached the purple bird on the green bird wreath with a Tombow Foam Tab so he would pop up.

Here is what you can win! 

To win, visit and comment on the participating blog posts. You have until April 28 at 11:59 EST to comment. A winner will be picked randomly and announced on April 29 2015.

TOMBOW AND CLEARSNAP BLOG HOP!

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Clearsnap Blog Hop! For this hop we got together products that were made for each other: Tombow Adhesives and Clearsnap Foils! I bet you want to join in the Foil trend so in this hop we will show easy, affordable and fun ways to do it, so stick with us for the next two days!

You probably got here from Jennifer Priest's Blog, but if you stumbled across my blog go the Tombow USA Blog (on Friday)/ Clearsnap Blog (On Saturday) to start!

I have a super fun and easy gift tag to share with you!

I gathered  my supplies.  I sprayed my paper first with Clearsnap Spritzers "Lemon Drops".  Isn't it so pretty!  Then, I got out my Clearsnap Art Screen, Clearsnap Designer Foils, and Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.

I taped my art screen on top of my paper.  I put a stripe of Mono Multi Glue across the top and used an old gift card to spread it over the art screen.  I removed the tape and art screen right away and cleaned my art screen with a baby wipe to remove the glue.

Let the glue dry for 5-10 minutes.  Tombow's Mono Multi Liquid Glue dries tacky so it is perfect for applying foils.  I laid a few sheets on top of the glue and pulled it off.  I removed the last piece to show you.

To add more fun to my tag and my foils, I added some of the New Tombow Adhesive Dots and added glitter to them.  Such a fun way to embellish!

Here is the prize pack you could win!

To win, visit and comment on the participating blog posts. You have until April 21 at 11:59 EST to comment. A winner will be picked randomly and announced on April 22 2015.

The prize includes: Tombow Xtreme Adhesive, NEW Tombow Adhesive Dots, Tombow Stamp Runner Dot Adhesive and the Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue. Glitter – Gold Sparkle and Ruby Slippers,Designer Foils – Cherry Pie, Color Blender, ColorBox Chalk Petal Point in Primary Pastels and Magic Stamp.

MIXED MEDIA TUTORIAL ON THE BELLA BLOG

I love making my own mixed media backgrounds.  Patterned paper is wonderful of course, but making your own designs is super fun and will always be the perfect fit for your work.

By making my own mixed media background I was able to make 2 cards, 2 tags and 2 ATC's.  I can leave them like this, or continue to build on them or embellish them.

I have a full tutorial on the Bella Crafts Quarterly Blog today.  I hope you will check it out and enjoy making your own mixed media backgrounds.  I can't wait to see what you make!
