last one! this brings my count of layouts for the year so far to 4…one a week. not to shabby. hmmm…maybe i should set a goal to do 52 layouts this year, one for each week?
the last color challenge is BLUE IRIS. whereas i had a harder time picking out papers and embellishments for my first layout using Tangerine Tango, this time i was able to dig up a few things. even still, i put my Tombow Dual Brush Pen to work. I colored two raw chipboard stars and some white sticker letters with color #555 .
i cut out the outline of the star, and because it was so thin, i used the Tombow Stamp Runner with Dot Adhesive. being able to stamp along the thin outline allowed for better placement and did not pull on the paper, as i feared using the runner would. the slide mechanism is very easy to use and better yet, if some of the dots went over the edge of the outline, because they are dots they clean up by rubbing them away.
i used Tombow MONO Multi to set the buttons and the chipboard stars, and Tombow MONO Adhesive Permanent Runner to glue down the pictures and pattern paper.
we made it through the first month of the year! how are your goals coming? do you have any scrapbooking or craft goals? stick with us, we’ll help you get there!

Can you believe it is already the last week of January? Time is flying fast already this year. When you read this I will be in Anaheim, CA for CHA. I am so excited to be there and know I will have lots of fun goodies to share with you when I get back.
But to tide you over until then, we are finishing our Pantone colors of the year this month with Blue Iris. (color of the year for 2008) I am not a huge royal blue color fan, so this was a bit more of a challenge for me.
I made a cover for a package of candy. I wanted to show you a couple of fun things that you could do with Tombow’s Dual Brush Pens. I used #555 to not only color the ink onto the stamp ( by Our Craft Lounge), but also in an air art gun to splatter the ink around the edges.
Do you see how gradual the design fades? That is from first coloring onto the stamp with the marker, then “huffing” on the ink and stamping, huff again and stamp, and repeat until the ink is completely faded. I love to use this technique with markers on stamps and hope you will want to give it a try as well.
I used Mono Adhesive Permanent to attach the sentiment and Foam Tabs to pop up the heart.

Keeping on the theme of color this January, here is another color combination using the 2012 Top Ten colors
(January 9 Tombow Blog Posting)
With this project I have chosen both paper colors and Irojiten Coloring Pencil colors to create a muted floral combination using the following colors: (I have also Listed the matching Dual Brush Pen Colors.) Irojiten V-7 King Fisher, Dual Brush Pen 528 Navy BlueIrojiten DI – 4 Sage Green, Dual Brush Pen 192 Asparagus Irojiten VP-1 Cameo Pink, Dual Brush Pen 723 Pink Irojiten P-20 Crocus, Dual Brush Pen 623 Purple Sage Irojiten Lg-2 Cork, Dual Brush Pen 992 Sand
I used the Dots Adhesive Stamp Runner to attach the ribbon and the torn colored panel onto the card front. I had a delicate piece of a paper wasp nest and added it to the corner by first applying the Dot Adhesive then laying down the wasp nest. I simply rubbed away the exposed adhesive. The bee charm was added using MONO Multi Liquid Glue.
This is a really fun and creative way to combine two differt coloring pproducts and achieve a great blending effect. I hope you enjoyed this project and learned a little more about Tombow’s products.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Easter is it? I didn’t think so, so I have created an “Easter Egg Seed Packet” for my project today.
The adorable seed packet cover and packet template is from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.
I stamped and embossed the image with black ink and embossing powder. I stamped the sentiments inside the banners with black ink. The image was colored with Tombow Dual Brush Markers. I added liquid appliqué to the clouds and heat set it to make it puffy. I made the seed packet with cardstock scored on the fold lines and cut the window out. I adhered a piece of acetate behind the window and the edges of the seed packet with Tombow MONO Power Adhesive Bond . Using my doily lace punch I cut ¾” strips of white cardstock and punched the borders. I cut the corners at 45degree angles and adhered them to the back edges of the image. Using foam tape I adhered the image to the seed packet front. To close the packet I used Tombow Fastener Tabs. Fastener tabs are sticky backed hook and loop fasteners perfect for papercrafts where a closer is needed. They close securely and open with ease!
I filled the seed packet with candy and it’s ready for an Easter basket!!
Here are the Tombow Dual Brush Marker colors I used…. 947 brown, 985 yellow, 451-491 blue, N25 black, N65 grey, 761-772 pink, 623- 603 purple, 133-126-076-177 greens.
This is a fun and creative way to send some Easter fun to those you know far and wide…I hope you enjoy this project.
Huggs,
Karen

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

TOMBOW Foam Tabs
These acid-free double sided adhesive tabs are great for adding dimension to many projects, the small tab is 1/5 x 1/5 and the large tabs are ½ x ½, they are also great for layering and can be stacked for added dimension. They are suitable for most surfaces including paper, glass and metal. They are also crush resistant and instantly bond and hold.

This month the Tombow team has been sharing projects created using colors that coordinate with the Pantone “in” colors for the last few years. Today I am sharing a card that I created using the 2011 color, Honeysuckle.
Did you know?
What did you all think of the new Pantone color of the year last week? I love the tangerine color. This week we have another color challenge that was Pantone’s color of the year 2011…Honeysuckle. This color matches Tombow’s Dual Brush Pen 743 (hot pink).
With Valentine’s Day sneaking up on us, I thought this color would be perfect for a candy box. I found this tutorial here. The tutorial shows to use Hershey Nuggets, but I had some raspberry Ghiradelli’s on hand and they fit perfectly! I can get 2 into each little matchbox. The matchboxes were cut with SU!’s die that my friend had and I cut a bunch of them over a year ago. They are now coming in handy as I plan to make more of these boxes for friends and family.
Tip: One of the wonderful things about markers and rubberstamps is that the markers are less expensive and you can have so many more colors. I colored Our Craft Lounge’s new Every Heart Beat stamp set (the zig zag image) with the 743 Dual Brush Pen and stamped it on a label that also was on the die that I cut. I then stamped the sentiment with black ink.
I used Mono Adhesive Power Bond to put the whole box together. I prefer using a stronger adhesive for projects like this.
I hope I inspired you to start working on your Valentine projects. I have a couple more I will be sharing with you this month as well.

I have taken the Ten Top Pantone Colors for 2012 and matched them to Tombow Irojiten Colored Pencils and Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Even though the colors reflect fashions, color trends take their cue from lifestyle trends and filter down into scrapbooking, greeting cards and home décor.
Some of the colors are a perfect match and some are close. I only had to do one blended color with the Cabaret Irojiten color. Some Dual Brush Pen colors are a slightly darker color but would be a perfect match if blended out with the blending pen.
