“What a Sweet Face” is a layout of our new puppy last year. So sweet and I wanted to remember just how cute he was as a puppy, I know the time won’t last forever.
I wanted to use these heavy chipboard pieces on the layout but the adhesive already on them did not hold on the paper, it kept falling off.
I applied a layer of Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive to the large chipboard piece so I could display the layout. I held great, now I have a real memory keeper. They grown up so fast don’t they…
I hope you enjoyed this sweet project and I’ll see you next time…..

So cute, it just calls to you to run into your studio and make this adorable card for that “Un-froggetable” person in your life…
I created a card with the adorable “Froggy Gift” from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I made the card base 4 ¾ x 5 ½. I cut the green cardstock 4 ½ x 5 ¼ and embossed it with a heart embossing folder.
I adhered the blue, brown and designer paper, after punching the borders, with my Tombow Stamp Runner and colored the image with Tombow Dual Brush Markers.
I cut out the image and blue with my nesties labels and adhered them with my Tombow Stamp Runner and layered all the pieces with Tombow Foam Tabs. After threading bakers twine through the buttons, I adhered them with Tombow Power Tabs.
Here are the Tombow Markers I used… 942-912 …Flesh, N89-N60 …Background 076-098…Green, 990-991…yellow, 947…brown, 772…Pink, N89-528… Blue
I hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did, I’m sure you will find
someoneone ” Un-froggetable” to send it to…
Enjoy your day,
Karen

I inked up the stamp with Tombow Dual Brush Pens, spritzed it with a wee bit of water and stamped it onto some Prismatics cardstock. The edges were shaded a bit with Tea Dye Distress ink to soften the hard edge of the tan cardstock. The print paper has a music them and lots of pretty glitter mixed in. It is from a My Minds Eye Glitter paper pad from last year. I don’t know if I will ever use it all up, I think there were over 50 sheets in the pad. The sentiment is from Memory Box. This saying is one that I used years ago on a Christmas card (long before there was a stamp for it), I wish I had this stamp then! I layered everything up with some Hunter green cardstock that I have had in my stash for awhile, it could be Bazzil as it has some texture to it. I added a twiney bow and a button and called it good! The bow really isn’t wonky, but it sure does look that way in the picture. 
Have a great day!
This card was created using the “Thumping” technique for coloring in the flower. This card is for my pal Sharri Seffens who was the “Blast from the Past” challenge hostess at STV for March, April and May. Each week Sharri would challenge us to use one of Gina’s past techniques as our inspiration.
The stamps used are from the GKD Botanicals stamp set. The print papers were from a past GKD Card kit. I used Tombow Dual Brush Pens in a couple of
shades of purple and green for the floral image. The image was cut out with the Spellbinders Petite Oval and Petite Oval Scallop dies. I finished off the card
with some purple pearls and purple grosgrain ribbon. This card has a really masculine feel to it, I don’t really have any “old” male friends except for the ones I inherited 23 years ago when DH and I got married! Don’t really think any one of them would appreciate the time I put into this card though.
This card was created for the Potluck Friday challenge at Stamp TV. It was really pretty simple to put together. Here are the deets:
1. Fold Chocolate Kiss cardstock in half and run through the Cuttlebug with largest Petite Oval Scallop Nestie.
2. Print Moss Burlap digi paper from freebies section at Stamp TV.
3. Run digi paper through CB with largest die from the small Petite Ovals set.
4. Color pine tree stamp (GKD) with Tombow Dual Brush pens (098,126, 451 & 969)
5. Spritz stamp with fine mist of water and stamp onto Arches 140# coldpress watercolor paper.(Canson 140# coldpress will work good too)
6. Ink sentiment first with Adirondack Espresso ink and then lightly touch to Adirondack Ginger ink to add a bit of red to the espresso
(this combo matches Tombow 969 perfectly), stamp onto image panel.
7. Affix tree panel to digi panel and punch holes on either side for your ribbon.
8. Insert ribbon, tie in knot and affix to Chocolate Kiss card with a foam tab.
9. Add a little glitter to the tree and a stick pin to the knot.
Here are a couple of others I thouht you might enjoy…
Have fun…Melissa.
Hello everyone! I’m Kim Watson & I am so happy to be here on the Tombow blog as a Guest Designer today.
Since discovering Tombow’s adhesive range about three years ago, I have become a HUGE fan & always have a bunch of their products on hand. So given that I tend to use a variety of different adhesive types in a single project I thought you might enjoy a peek at how I put a page together from Start-to-Finish using product from the June Cocoa Daisy kit, Cherry Soda & Tombow.
My paper layers are always adhered with MONO Multi Liquid Glue because I love how fast it dries. However if I am still shuffling elements around it is great thatMONO Multi Liquid Glue has the versatility of being removable if allowed to ‘tacky’ dry first.
MONO Adhesive Dots, Roller is also a great adhesive to attach photographs.
I needed extra height on my cut out flower accents, NEW Foam Tabs, were perfect to do this. Coming in two square sizes meant getting a couple into the small areas was a cinch.
More MONO Multi Liquid Glue for my paper tabs…
The page now almost complete, just needed a few finishing touches. MONO Aqua Liquid Glue was perfect for these. Fabric flowers, buttons & some metal accents.
Voila! A pretty page that wouldn’t have come together quite the same without Tombow’s adhesive.
Enjoy…..Kim….

Hi there! Happy Friday to you all!
Today I am sharing a little flip book that I made. I used papers from the Basic Grey Sweet Threads Line.
This little book has several pages that have adorable little flip tabs perfect for journaling.
The book was bound using a Bind it All.
I used Tombow Glue stick to attach the paper to the chipboard covers.
Adhere print paper to pages using Tombow Mono Dots Adhesive.
I used Tombow Mono Aqua to adhere the delicate leaves die cuts to the front of the book. I love that the Aqua adhesive has two different sized tips, the pen tip is perfect for putting adhesive on the small areas of the leaves and stems.
You can find complete instructions for making this Flip Book in the resources section at Splitcoaststampers.
Thanks for stopping by ~ Melissa
I am a long time fan of Tombow adhesives. One of my favorites that you can usually find in my adhesive basket is the Permanent MONO Dots Adhesive –
I used this, and a couple other Tombow adhesives on my page that I’m sharing with you today. I’ll start by showing you a fun masking and stamping technique using the Tombow Foam Tabs.
Use tweezers to arrange the Tombow foam mini tab squares into a checkerboard pattern on a scrap piece of cardstock. Just lightly place the squares. Don’t press down on them. Peel off the backing paper so the adhesive is exposed.
Mist with your favorite spray ink.
Now use the foam adhesive checkerboard as a stamp on another
scrap of cardstock. Be sure to use a light touch when stamping your
checkerboard pattern.
You now have two checkerboard patterns to use on your project, but first let’s remove the Foam Tabs from the misted paper.
Gently pull the Foam Tabs from your cardstock.
If some of the adhesive stays behind simply rub it off gently with your fingertip.
I used MONO Aqua Liquid Glue to adhere a felt photo corner to my main photo. This glue works great with felt!
I love the texture that crumpled paper adds to a project, but sometimes it becomes difficult to adhere after crumpling it. Permanent MONO Dots Adhesive does a great job of keeping it in place.
I also used some of the Foam Tabs to pop up some of the photos and accents on my page for extra dimension.
Thanks for checking out my project!

Each of the cards started with a standard A2 (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) white card and stamped the top half with the butterfly images. For the purple “thinking of you” and the Aqua “happy birthday” cards I colored the Penny Black butterfly stamp directly with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens and then spritzed the stamp with water before stamping the image. I love the soft watercolor effect this creates. I added a 3″ x 4 1/4″ piece of print cardstock and a piece of ribbon to each one using Tombow Stamp Runner. To finish off each card, I added a piece of knotted ribbon that I attached with Mono Aqua Adhesive.
I can’t thank Sharron at Tombow enough for inviting me to share my love of stamping (and Tombow) with you.<<<

I drew the white circle for the card with my trusty old compass measuring 3 ½” from center and cut the scallop edge with my decorative scissors. It was embossed with a CB folder swiss dots. The purple circle was cut the same way with a measurement of 3 ¼” and the DP measured and cut at 3 1/8”. I folded all the circles in half and then adhered them together with Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue. The circle the image is layered onto has been cut with my Nestabilities circle dies.
I stamped the image onto ordinary white card stock with Stazon jet black ink. I colored the image with Tombow Irojiten Color Pencils from volume 4, 5 and 6.
Starting with the lightest of a color group I added the color leaving lots of white space layering the color from lightest to darkest. I used a paper stump and Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits) to blend the color.
You can add more color and re-blend or if you have too much color you can remove some with the Gamsol.
I layered the circles and the image using Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue to adhere them together and Tombow Foam Tabs to attach them to the card.
I punched the flowers & ferns and used Tombow Foam Tabs to adhere them to the card.
The adorable image I used is from High Hopes Stamps- Sitting Buddy with Balloon S-195 and Happy Bear-day sentiment.

Take a “Leap” using Tombow Dual Brush Pens
It looks like this little green frog is ready to leap onto the closest lily pad and relax.
He is ready for Summer!!! Using the Tombow Dual Brush Pens in the Retro colors, it will help you bring this guy to life.
This card will make an adorable birthday card or a simple card to tell someone special you are thinking of them. Step 1: The Stamped Image: For this project I used the stamp set “Leap for Life” by Unity Stamp Company. I stamped the frog using the chocolate color ink pad by Close to my heart and onto cream cardstock by Bazzill.
