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.

here we go…another layout! these color challenges have been great! isn’t great to feel accomplished!?!
this layout used the color TURQUOISE, which is quite possibly my favorite color. one thing i love about turquoise is that it can be so many things… summer time when paired with oranges and blues, winter when paired with silver and white, spring with pinks and reds, and fall with browns and greens. it can be used for boys or girls. it is the color to use for tropical pictures and even baseball pictures…okay, if you are a Marlins fan.
anyway, it worked perfectly for these pictures of my daughter dancing in a (extremely cold) winter festival performance.
i used the Tombow Dual Brush Pen #343 to doodle a few snowflakes. i looked back on some of Marie’s instructions on using the pens for doodling and attempted some of those techniques.
the pictures were adhered with Tombow MONO Adhesive Permanent Runner, the snowflakes were popped up with Tombow Foam Tabs, the metal letters were glued down with Tombow MONO Multi Liquid Glue, and lastly i used the Tombow Glue Pen to “draw” over each of the snowflake doodles. push the roller ball tip down until glue starts to flow, and then trace the lines previously drawn. when the glue from the Glue Pen dries it is clear, but leaves a slight shine or wet look.
one more color challenge to go this month. hope you’ve been playing along!

This is the other challenge I was telling you about that had me stumped. The only thing I could think of was organ donation and Sharron said “no” to that. Ü So it was back to the drawing board….what to do.
I came across these free printables and thought that this gift “keeps giving” (fresh breath for every mint) LOL! Well, it works doesn’t it? Ü
For the front I wrapped cardstock around the Tic Tacs and used Tombow’s Mono Adhesive Permanent. I colored the image with Dual Brush Tip Pens: 977, 856, 905, & 491. To make the polka dots on the hat and scarf, I made the dots with the Glue Pen and let it dry then colored the images. The glue acts as a resist and is fun to add designs to an otherwise plain image.
Here is the cute saying on the back:
I hope you enjoyed this little treat.

after cutting the flags from pattern paper, decorate each one using paper or embellishments. i used Tombow MONO Adhesive Permanent runner to attach a strip of paper to the top of each.
the numbers were created by layering a punched scalloped circle and a punched circle, again using Tombow MONO Adhesive Permanent runner. the numbers were cut with an electronic die cut machine and then glued to the top circle with Tombow MONO Glue Pen. I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again….my favorite thing about the Glue Pen is that the adhesive formula does not adhere to your skin! when working with small items you don’t have to worry about your hands getting sticky and making marks on your project.
the activities were all written on more punched circles. hinges were created by cutting small strips of cardstock, approx 1″ x 2″. fold the strips in half and glue one half to the back of the punched circles with the activities. i used Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue.
next i took a sheet of Tombow Fastener Tabs and cut them in half while still on the sheet. then i attached a Fastener Tab on the other half of the hinge. keeping the punched circle with hinge face up pull off the backing from the Fastener Tab then center the scalloped number over the hinge and the punched circle.
once the two-piece hinge is complete apply Tombow MONO Adhesive Permanent to the back of the punched circle with the activity written on it and adhere one to each flag.
tie the flags together with ribbon. i chose to punch holes on both corners of the flag, then cut short lengths of ribbon and tie knot between two flags, and then continue it all the way down.
as the days pass the numbers can be removed, revealing the activity underneath OR can be left on and flipped up to look at the activity.
because the numbers are fastened onto the activity with the hook and loop Fastener Tabs they can be rearranged for next year. our activities include parties we have to go to, performances the kids are dancing in, and other events that have a specific date. most likely we will be participating in the same or similar events next year, so i will be able to move the numbers around accordingly.
do you have a countdown with activities? i’d love to see what other people are doing. post them to our facebook page so i can take a look!

raise your hand if LOVE the autumn season like i do?!?
and i am sure just like me, many of you enjoy a few crafts to spruce up your home this time of year?!?
for the last few years i have made place cards for the thanksgiving table.
to keep with my new crafty tradition, i have made the set for this year.
come see how i did it!
i used:
Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Adhesive
Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner
circle punch
off-white cardstock – cut to 3 1/4 x 4 1/2
kraft colored cardstock – cut to 3 x 4 1/4
assorted orange pattern paper and cardstock
green cardstock scraps
dark brown cardstock scraps
first brush the Tombow Dual Brush Pen along the edges of the kraft cardstock pieces and the off-white cardstock pieces.
then fold the off-white pieces in half, and adhere the kraft piece to the front with the Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner
punch circles from orange pattern paper.
each pumpkin will need 4-5 circles.
fold all of the circles in half.
use Tomobw MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner and attach the folded circles together, back sides together.
i love the Tombow runners when i am doing a curvy project…the runner just follows the curves to make for a full coverage adhesive!
in between two of the circles sandwich a thin strip of green cardstock. these will become the vines.
use a pencil or other small cylinder to curl the green stripes. it is easier to curl them with the pencil and then work the curl into it by twisting the spiral into it.
then using theTombow Permanent Runner again, put adhesive on the back panels to adhere it to the front of the place card.
i used a thin line of Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue along the back seam of the pumpkin, where it touched the placecard.
and i also used the Aqua on the backside of the pumpkin to attach the brown cardstock scrap to create the stem. once it was glued down i gently worked the paper to twist it.
the last thing i’ll do, when we finalize who is coming to our thanksgiving feast, would be to cut out some lettering with my die cut machine and use the Tombow MONO Glue Pen to adhere them to the front,
or use the Tombow Dual Brush Pens to write the guests names.
i know it is early…but happy thanksgiving! i truly appreciate all our blog followers and tombow lovers!

There are so many quotes out there that I love that I had a hard time choosing one to create with. Since this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I decided to choose one of my favorites that I could make a card around honoring this month. My g’ma, 2 friends, DH’s aunt, as well as others we have known, have courageously battled this cancer.
I can only imagine the amount of faith it takes to deal with cancer and each on the ones we know had to take that first step, even when they couldn’t see the whole picture.
The card I chose to create uses a new image from Designed2Delight to honor Nat’l Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is called Hope 2011 Cancer Awareness Set. The nice thing about this set is that you can color the ribbon to match the cancer. Here is a link that tells you which cancer each color represents.
I used My Mind’s Eye papers, Tombow’s Glue Pen to add Cotton Candy Sparkly Fluff (from Our Craft Lounge) to the ribbon and dots image, Foam Tabs to raise up the butterfly image, and Dual Brush Pens (761 & 800) for coloring and Mono Adhesive permanent.

Flocking, or adding a soft, matte textured effect to paper, can be applied in ultra fine detail with
Tombow’s Glue Pen. I especially like it for adding fur on stamped animals!
Apply the glue where you want the flocking. The glue is transparent so good overhead light and holding your head just right will allow you to see the glue. I do small areas at a time. However, the glue does not set up immediately and allows you do a decent sized area before drying.
Add more flocked areas until you are satisfied with the results. When completely dry, use a soft, clean brush to remove any excess flocking. The flocking gives a nice soft texture to the cardsthat can be felt. Perfect for children’s cards, cards for sight-impaired recipients or for recreating soft, matte accents on vintage cards.
Sample of a monster image with flocked fur.
Enjoy your new Tip-nique, I’ll see you again next Monday with more fun projects.
