Paper Posie Patterned Cards
The first card is a 6×6 card, so quick…just cut a 12×12 in half, cut a piece of coordinating paper 5×5, glue it on with Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive. Cut a 1×6 strip of cardstock and glue that down across the 5×5 square. Fasten the trim by running a strip of the permanent adhesive along, and then press the trim into place. Add a flower and a cute journaling box and you’re good to go!
The second card is 4×6. Cut a 4×12 piece of cardstock, then cut a 3.5×6 piece of this REALLY AWESOME lace paper. Use Tombow Mono Permanant Dots on the back side of it, and it’ll only put dots on the paper parts, so there isn’t sloppy adhesive showing behind. COOL! Then I stuck a cute round tag, followed by a tiny pearl dragonfly. That’s it! Remember it’s your last chance at the giveaway this week so keep the comments coming and to check out Paper Posie’s cute site for more inspiration using July’s kit as well. Winner’s announced Monday!
the box from paper posies arrived and i opened it expectantly. i have never ordered from a kit club before. i was excited to use products that i wouldn’t normally buy for myself…and i was not disappointed. take a look at the loot!
i wasn’t inspired instantly, i had to sit on it for a few days, but then looking back through it i saw the maya road chipboard tickets and then i hatched an idea. my assignment was to do something altered. so i went to my box of items that i have saved for just an altering occasion. in there was a box that i had saved from a wallet i have from franklin covey. the box is really sturdy and i knew one day i would find the perfect use for it. well, today is that day.
i decided to make a ticket box…a place to keep tickets from shows that i have the pleasure of attending….broadway, local theatre, my daughter’s dance recitals. i don’t always get to take a picture at the event, or if i do, one picture and a ticket don’t always make a full scrapbook layout. so i set out to create a place to save them.
on this box i did the top cover and inside the front cover (when you flip it open). because it was a box and not a layout i felt a little more daring and layered a little more than i normally would. using pearls and the flowers is out of my comfort zone, so it was challenging but i LOVE LOVE LOVE the result. did i mention LOVE?
thanks paper posies. i think i have a new way of buying my scrapbook supplies. send me another kit!
to make the box i used Tombow PowerBond to adhere the paper to the box and to each other. I used Tombow MONO Multi on the flower, the lace paper (although i was very minimal with the application of it, so it wouldn’t ooze out the sides when i smoothed it down) and the chipboard. i still used Tombow Mono Dots on the ribbon on the inside of the box. the lace paper was actually pink, so to make it coordinate with my “blues” i flipped it over and colored the backside with a Tombow Dual Brush Pen #312. the chipboard ticket inside the cover was done with #879, as was the writing of the quote, also on the inside.
i LOVE it so much that i am going to find myself another box and make one for my son using sports paper and stickers…for all the braves games he goes to!
(and just as an afterthought…maybe find a box big enough that programs can be stored inside too with the tickets. i see the tickets laying loose in the box and easy to look through. however, this collection from franklin covey had 4×6 photo album/sleeves too. i had scored myself one of these that has been laying around,
so i am going to use it to hold the tickets and try to be a little
creative with the presentation by scrapbooking a little 4X6 card to
stick the ticket to and that one picture that is taken outside the theatre. )
p.s joanna are you proud of me? my first vintage piece!
If you take a girl and her doll to lunch
While dining with her doll she will get an idea to play school with her doll at home.
While they are playing school there will need to be lunch time because her doll will get hungry.
You will make her doll a lunch and then she will want you to make a lunch bag to put it in.
When you’re making a lunch bag for her doll to put the lunch in, she will have an idea to make one of her own.
While she’s making one of her own, she will change the pattern and make it fancier just because she’s a girl.
Because she made it fancy she will say that it is too fancy for a lunch bag but that it makes a perfect shopping bag.
Since it’s such a cute shopping bag she will say that the doll needs to do a little shopping and ask to go to the special doll store.
If she is in the doll store then she will ask to take her doll to lunch….

the idea of the “ZENTANGLE” is interesting to me. all those doodles in
the notebooks of my college classes actually have a name now! well, unfortunately i am
not much of a doodler now, but i took inspiration from the zentangle
and put it toward my scrapbooking.
this layout was inspired by the doodling now called zentangle. Both the pattern paper blocks on the page and the title were a result of the research i have done concerning zentangle. the result is a fun technique that fits my style. i’m coining my own phrase and calling it a “scrap-tangle”!
using coordinating pattern papers (all of mine came from OCTOBER AFTERNOON’s recess line) i cut (mostly) straight lines from one of the pattern papers. then using the other coordinating patterns i filled in a 4″ square piece of white cardstock. the final result is similar to the different doodling one might do with they were creating their own zentangle.
*tips* (because i tried this three different ways)
*you can doodle a zentangle first.
i took my 4″ square piece of white cardstock and drew directly on it first.
then using a piece of vellum i laid it over the design and traced it.
next i flipped the piece of vellum over onto the pattern paper i wanted to use and re-traced the lines on the back side of the vellum.
this will transfer the lead from the front side of the vellum to the pattern paper.
now you have a guide to cut out your shapes out of patterned paper.
a suggestion with this method – number each piece that is traced on the vellum AND on the pattern paper. so when all of your pieces are cut out you can fit it together like a puzzle with a pattern.
*another way to do this is to use scraps pieced together
generously apply adhesive to the background you want to use, again mine was the 4″ square, and then apply pattern paper. i used the Tombow MONO dot runner, as it is a little more forgiving if the pieces need to be adjusted.
then after laying down the background pieces i covered the seams, where the pattern papers came together, with the bold strips.
*keep all of your “bold” strips the same pattern paper. it will keep a cohesive feel to the final piece.
*try to make your bold lines wavy, not always straight
*use your Tombow Dual Brush Markers and ink the edges of the pieces being put together. it makes the “scrapped zentangle” have more definition.
“scrap-tangle”!
Tombow is highlighting their Mono White Gel Pen this month and at the same time Joanna challenged us to a Zentangle inspired project. It was a tall order but once I rec’d the lovely Capella packet from Basic Grey (I know!! One of my all time favorite paper companies!!) I knew I could do it. I had a direction that turned out so very vintage and lovely!
For this card I used Basic Grey paper, brads and some lovely vintage lace from my stash that matched perfectly! To keep with the scallop and circle theme in my “zentangle” drawing, I punched one edge of BG paper with an eyelet scallop punch.
I colored my Zentangle image with Tombow DBP’s and put the whole card together with Tombow’s Mono-Adhesive Dots. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. It was a fun challenge.

Ever have projects that are in your mind for a LOOONNGG time before they actually get done? Yeah, that’s me big time. I’ve had this idea for a HOME album since we moved in….. 6 years ago. I had ideas of before and after pictures of what we’ve done with the place, how it’s been decorated and showing off how we’ve turned it from a house into a home…. I’ve done pages here and there but never really sat down and finished it out. The ironic part is that the pages I’ve done need to be added to. 4 years ago I did a LO of my son’s room. Basically that needs to be completely revamped because now it’s less like a nursery and more like a little boy’s room. That’s how it goes, right? You create, you learn, you grow and you document. Life is ever changing and it’s part of the process. This week I’ve been working on updating and creating and I am loving the results of our house transforming into our home.
This Layout is all about our backyard fun this spring. I swear that space outside has turned into another room in our house and I love the sanctuary it gives us. From reading in the hammock together, playing in the playhouse,enjoying countless picnics, building in the sandbox, growing in the garden or flying on the swing it’s our little oasis. For the branches I grabbed a few backyard twigs and used Tombow MONO Adhesive DOTS for a quick hold while I stitched it firmly in place then I added a little texture with some fleece from my sewing stash and added some grass/leaves with Tombow MONO AQUA Liquid Glue and finished it all with a couple Doodlebug Flowers, twine and wooden trim. What about you? How have you documented some of your favorite places?

My boys surprised me with how well they did this project. Pinwheels are so cute, and look so terrific with this Basic Grey paper!! They’re simple to make and come together really fast.
- Cut a 12×12 sheet of paper into 4-6 inch squares…double sided paper looks the best!
- Fold each corner to corner, diagonally, creating an X on the square.
- Cut along each fold, stopping about a half inch from the center.
- Punch a small hole on the left bottom corner of each side.
- Cut a 12″ by .5″ strip of paper, run a line of Tombow Mono Adhesive Permanent Dots along it.
- Wrap around a pencil, pulling tightly.
- Pull the holes on the bottom up to the center of the square, and secure with a brad.
- Dip the brad ends in Tombow Mono Aqua Glue, push into the pencil eraser.
Note:
Most paper pinwheels spin, but these ones do not. I thought the matching brads were way too cute to not use, and so did my boys! If you want yours to spin just use a thumb tack instead of a brad, and don’t dip it in glue prior to pushing it into the eraser.

It’s Team- Up time and this week we listened to your requests! It’s all about Basic Grey!! Check out these great Tombow/Basic Grey cards by Debbie. Remember to posts your comments daily for a chance to win our weekly prize pack!
I love this new Cappella paper by Basic Grey. I received this lovely package with papers, stickers and brads from this line. To me it is very vintage.
Tombow is highlighting their Mono White Gel Pen this month. I used this on both of my cards today.
For this first card, I stamped with a versamark ink pad on a Basic Grey black paper then pierced around the image and then “connected” the dots with the white gel pen. I love how it looks like chalk on a chalkboard. The brads are from another Basic Grey line.
The stamp set is a retired one by Stepping Stones. I used the two smallest flowers and a sentiment.
For this next card I went totally vintage! All the papers are from the Cappella line. The ribbon is from my vintage stash and the lace was white. I rubbed peach ink on it and then spritzed it and rubbed the ink into it more evenly. I love how it turned out!
The mini tag is from SU! from long ago that I still had. The pin is from last month’s Maya Road pkg. I wondered what I was going to do with those pins. They match the Cappella paper perfectly!
I used Tombow’s Mono White Gel Pen to make “eyelet” dots along the peach scallop border. Both cards were put together using Tombow MONO Adhesive DOTS. Thanks for stopping by!

Today we’re kicking off our Maya Road-Tombow Team Up week. Be sure to check out their blog and become a fan of theirs and *ours* on facebook too and as always we’re giving away another one of our coveted prize packs to one lucky blog commenter later this week!
I found these huge magnetic clips in the dollar spot at Target last fall. I’ve seen a lot of altered ones around the internet the last year or two, and I think they’re pretty cute. I’ve had them on my fridge displaying artwork and important papers, but I thought last week it would be fun to have one personalized for each of my boys. Thanks to some cute ribbon and chipboard from Maya Road and my trusty Tombow products, this came together in less than 10 minutes. Super simple, but I can’t wait to print out some cute pictures and scour my kid’s school backpacks for things to hang on them.
- Take apart your clip, gently pulling the front away from the back and hinge.
- Measure and cut the ribbon you’re going to be using. Make sure to cut enough to go around AND knot it!
- Run lines of Tombow Mono Adhesive Permanent Dots along the clip where the ribbon will be placed.
- Tie ribbon all the way down the clip.
- Put the clip back together.
- Trim ribbon ends to desired length, use the pen tip along the edges of the ribbon to keep the ribbon from fraying.
- Color the chipboard with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.
- Put a generous amount of Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue along the back of the chipboard, press into the ribbon and hold it down for a minute or two until it bonds.
So… what projects would you do with a few new Maya Road and Tombow toys?
