Calendar Blocks by Debbie Fisher

1 Reply

Today’s project is using the calendar block file with Cutting Cafe’s Fun with Blocks template file and Envelope Template Set using the scallop envelope.

I have several ideas of using this particular calendar block file and you will be seeing more of them in the weeks/months to come. I’m thinking this would make great Christmas gifts too. I love how the new Xtreme Adhesive makes putting projects like this together so easily.

The months were printed in MSWord and mounted on a heavy cardstock and cut out. They adhere to the front with 1/2 of a Fastener Tab.

I typed the sentiment in MSWord and then glued it to the top of the back piece. I thought it was appropriate for numbered days.

All of the numbers are adhered to heavy cardstock with Mono Adhesive Dots and then adhered to the block with the same adhesive. The blocks and calendar frame are all put together using the new Xtreme adhesive.

I knew I wanted a way to keep all the months with the calendar blocks, so I created an envelope using the Envelope Template Set, adhered it to the back with Xtreme adhesive and put the other months not in use in there.

Thank you for stopping by,

Xtreme Pocket Tag by Marie Browning

A coin envelope makes a perfect pocket on a tag – and Xtreme the perfect adhesive to hold it on securely! Make this lovely tag-card instantly with no mess by using Tombow’s New Xtreme Adhesive  and Graphic 45′s French Country Collection.

XTREME Adhesive is a high performance, permanent tape runner that works on a variety of hard to glue surfaces such as cardstock, cork, wood, fabric, glass and plastic. Xtreme Glue Tape is 5X stronger than standard tape runners!
For best results when working with Xtreme, roll to apply the tape and swipe tip to the side before lifting for a clean application.

Prepare the envelope by ripping of the top 2”. Use the Extreme to attach the burlap ribbon around the envelope. Attach the pocket to the back panel and the chipboard embellishment to the front with the Extreme

Add the trim to the pocket insert panel. Adhere the pear panel and chipboard embellishments with the Xtreme. Finish with a gold brad.

Xtremely Easy!

love banner….by melissa cash

Hi there!  This week we have been playing along with Debbie’s awesome challenge to use Pantone’s Color of the Year which is Radiant Orchid.
I had an idea to make a fun banner for Valentine’s Day.
Each of the banners is 4 1/4″ x 6″.  I started with a light orchid cardstock and then layered a medium orchid panel that I embossed with a Cuttlebug EF.  I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this color, but guess what?  I likey a lot!  I used Tombow’s new Extreme Adhesive to adhere the embossed panel to the lighter orchid layer and it worked like a charm as sometimes it can be a bit tricky when you have the extra element of embossing.  Next, I cut the doily and LOVE letters using Silhouette cut files out of white and orchid cardstocks.  I attached the doilies with Tombow Foam Tabs and the letters to the doilies with Tombow Mono Multi.  You can’t see it, but I added a wee bit of glitter to each of the hearts.  The panels were tied together with twine and little bows added for a finishing touch.
 Don’t forget to participate in the challenge, you will find all of the details here.

I Love Orchid! By Jennie Garcia

Happy Thursday! Today I’m making a card inspired by Debbie’s Challenge! The challenge is to make  Valentine’s Day project using Pantone’s color of the year Orchid!

 I glued the papers with the Mono Permanent Adhesive. I used a trading/baseball card sleeve and I filled it with chunky glitter, sequins and dew drops. I sewed the sleeve on a Project Life card.

 These Thickers have kind of a weak glue so I used the Xtreme Permanent Adhesive to glue them to the plastic sleeve. To glue the little punched out heart I used Tombow Foam Tabs and to glue the little purple dew drops I used the Tombow Aqua Liquid Glue.

 Don’t forget to participate in the challenge!

You could win Tombow Power Tabs, Tombow Dual Brush Pens and the NEW Tombow Xtreme Adhesive!

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Color Challenge by Debbie Fisher

4 Replies

Hello! Debbie here with the first Tombow challenge of the year. Pantone’s color of the year is Orchid, so with Valentine’s Day nearing, I thought I would combine the two.

Today I have created a fun candy bar holder using Cutting Cafe’s Pocket Box set and Valentine Mini Words. I used Xtreme Adhesive to hold the box together since it is super strong. I didn’t have the color of ribbon or cardstock I needed, so colored the ribbon and then colored a piece of white cardstock large enough for me to cut the scalloped heart with the Orchid Dual Brush Pen. This is a great way to get the color you want to match your project.

101_3377 (675x900)

The mini tag is colored around the edges with the Orchid Pen to make it pop and adhered with a Power Tab.

We would love to have you come and play along with us. The challenge is to use the color Orchid and make something Valentine themed. If you have Tombow’s Orchid Dual Brush Pen, we would love to see you use it, but it is not a requisite in order to play along.

Just upload your project below by February 10th for a chance to win this prize.
VOTING Starts February 11th!

Debbie’s Challenge: Glittery Radiant Orchid! by Marie Browning

Leave a reply

For Debbie’s challenge, we are using the Pantone’s Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid! As it is so close to Valentine’s Day, I thought a cute ‘n quick card would be fun!

  IMG_2962

I really wanted to do something with candy, but alas, no candy stamps (I have so many stamps you would think I would have one with candy!) So I made one using a favorite Penny Black stamp! I stamped the ‘Cheesecake Wishes’ stamp, but masked off the dandelion wishes.

  IMG_2961

I did it by making a mask. Stamped the image onto a piece of 20 lb. copy paper, cut out what I didn’t want, and adhered it temporarily with the Removable Adhesive . Now stamp the image with the mask.

  IMG_2963

I added in a lollipop and a tongue for cheesecake using the MONO Twin Permanent Black Marker. Easy to draw stuff, don’t panic…if you need to, use very light pencil marks to sketch the design first.

  IMG_2964

Color the image using the Dual Brush Pens, including of course, the #685 Color of the Year! I also added a few heart DoodleDabs to the image.

  IMG_2965

Now the challenge called for glitter, so to bling it up a bit, out came the Art Institute Glitter. The glittered swirls and outlines around the hearts were added with the Glue Pen and pale pink glitter. The lollipop used the MONO Aqua Liquid Glue and Angel Dust Glitter.

Here’s the finished card!

Thanks for the challenge Debbie! It was Sweet!

 Hello and welcome to the weekend!  I am so happy to say that we have finally gotten some rain here in Central CA and is much needed.  Although most of the country has been freezing cold and in the snow, we have been unusually warm and dry here.
Today, I am sharing a card and tealight box that I created using a Watercolor Technique with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
I started with a bold image stamp from Impression Obsession called Solid Rose Cluster and inked it up using the following colors of Tombow Dual Brush Pens #452, 373, 133, 126.  I started with the lightest color on the flowers and then went in with a bit of the darker color, next I did the same thing for the leaves using the green markers.  I spritzed the stamp lightly and stamped it onto some white cardstock.  I always leave the stamp down for about a count of ten to allow the ink to absorb into the cardstock a bit.  I used Neenah Solar White 80# cardstock.
I used a Tombow Glue Pen to scribble random circle patterns onto each of the roses and sprinkled with Microfine Silk Warm Diamond Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
Now for the whammy!  I created this adorable little box following a tutorial from Pootles Papercrafts on You Tube.  You can check it out here.  I love making boxes and never, ever want them to come apart (especially when used as gifts) and I am thrilled beyond words to say that the new Tombow Xtreme Glue Tape worked perfectly to hold this little box nice and secure!
Hip, hip, hooray!  Can you tell I am excited?  I can’t wait for you to try this amazing new adhesive from Tombow. It really is the bomb diggity!

Project Life By Jennie Garcia

Happy Thursday! Today I’m sharing a spread from my daughter’s baby album!

DSCN8543

I used the Mono Permanent Adhesive to glue all the photos and some of the embellishments of the spread.

I used these Project Life Kits: Honey Edition Core Kit, 5th and Frolic Core Kit and, the Dear Lizzy Core Kit.

To glue the vellum I used the Xtreme Glue Tape.

  I used my typewriter to do a lot of journaling about the induction and birth day.

The labels I used are from Target, they are not very sticky but I like the color and size so I just use the Tombow Mono Adhesive Permanent. I used the Mono Multi Liquid Glue with the Epiphany Crafts heart epoxy.
