Posts Tagged ‘Tombow Irojiten Color Dictionary Pencils’
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.

I enjoyed this challenge; it reminded me of my love of Fairy Tales so I created my own little story booklet.
Some lucky little child will receive this and enjoy many hours of bedtime stories from their family! I love the new ‘Once upon a Springtime’ paper collection from Graphic 45 and wanted to do something extra special with it and this project is definitely the start of many…what’s your favorite Fairy Tale?
from the Internet (lots of sites to find classic fairy tales!) onto cream colored cardstock, trimmed them and then adhered to the pages with the Permanent Adhesive. Being able to print your own tales also gives you the opportunity to personalize the characters with the names of the children who will receive the booklet.
Then came the fun of embellishing the pages! Tiny paper flowers, rhinestones, stamped images softly colored with Irojiten Colored Pencils and glitter makes the booklet extra special. The glitter wings of the fairies and rhinestones in crowns are added using the Glue Pen and larger embellishments added with the MONO Multi Liquid Glue, Foam Tabs and the stamping feature of the Permanent Adhesive Stamp Runner.
The ribbon bellyband uses a Fastener Tab for a decorative touch that also holds the book together.
..and they all lived happily ever after….

We thought you might like to see a sneak preview of a New Book By Marie Browning…
This drawing technique is the art of removing. You can quickly create beautiful drawings with the subtractive technique using thin metal stencils, Tombow drawing pencils and MONO and Zero Tombow Erasers. This is a very different and enjoyable technique to try and will get you creating appealing little drawings suitable for framing or presenting on a card.
Marie will introduce ‘Impressed Color Drawing’ and ‘DoodleDabs’ in the new book.
The DoodleDab technique was designed with the Tombow Dual Brush Pens. It uses a simple stroke technique to produce delightful little motifs to use in all your paper crafting projects. She will be stepping out over thirty favorite DoodleDabs in the book. The Rose DoodleDab is shown here accenting a stamped image.
We’re sure you’ll love learning these unique techniques from Marie. The book will be presented at Winter CHA….we hope you enjoyed this “sneak peak”…Stay tuned.

i have been playing like a kid….with SHRINKY DINKS! (and thanks to Inky Antics stamps i made an adorable mini card!)
yes, it is true. i went in search of shrink film so i could do my own images. i’ve learned several things about using shrink film and i’ve learned that Tombow and Shrink Film are a match made in heaven!
i will pass some of my new found knowledge on to you (but some of you may have already figured this out…so if you have more tips please share!)
1. there are (at least) two kinds of shrink film – clear and roughed up
2. the clear is great for permanent marker and StazOn stamp inks (yes! you can stamp it!) so stamp your image or draw something, either free-hand or by tracing it, and then color it in
3. the roughed up shrink film works with TOMBOW DUAL BRUSH PENS and TOMBOW IROJITEN COLOR PENCILS.
4. no need to use the oven or toaster oven, a hand-held heat gun works.
5. put your colored image on foil, aim the gun to heat up the shrink film and watch MAGIC!
6. the heat gun blows hot air (caution!) and can blow the shrink film image away, to hold it in place use one of the adhesive runners on the foil. i used TOMBOW MONO PERMANENT ADHESIVE RUNNER, because it was the closest while i was playing, but the TOMBOW STAMP PERMANENT ADHESIVE would work well too, simply stamp a spot of adhesive right on the foil
7. once the image has done it’s MAGIC fold the foil over it and gently pat the plastic flat. (however, there are ways to make curved or shaped images…oh the possibilities!)
8. and last, once you have your cute little Shrinky Dink image use TOMBOW MONO AQUA to set it
i have the opportunity to use Inky Antics Rubber Stamps this week. there they were, sitting side by side on my table – shrink film and cute little cat stamps, what was i supposed to do?
yup. i shrunk them! they are so cute mini! my daughter did some too! (mine is the set on the left, hers is the set on the right…with the tiny piece of cake. seriously, smaller than my pinky fingernail!)
after playing a bit i did a few more and made up a mini card. i’m already loving the mini cats, a mini card just makes me smile all the more!
1. stamp your image with staz-on ink, then cut out (this is the step to color it)
2. apply a small amount of Tombow MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner to a piece of foil
3. bring out the heat gun. move heat gun over the shrink film image while it shrinks (it may fold over on itself. continue holding the heat on it for a second more, as it tends to straighten itself out. but, if it doesn’t, cautiously pull apart the pieces that are stuck and use the foil to press it flat.
4. using the foil, folded over the shrink film, to press it flat when it is done shrinking
5. not much of a “step” in the process, but this is what they look like when they are done.
6. use scraps of paper to make a mini card. this one is 3×3. glue shrinky dink images down with Tombow MONO Aqua.
8. more scraps on the inside and stamped words and image. then…..congrats! you did it!
thanks Inky Antics! maybe this post should have been “honey i shrunk the….” – well, you fill in the blank!
honestly, this is so much fun! give it a try…show us what you’ve made! ~sarah~

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.

This month Tombow is featuring their awesome Stamp Runner! I love this new adhesive runner. It is more ergonomically correct and even smoother than my loved Mono Adhesive Permanent.
For my project this week I used not only the Stamp Runner Adhesive, but also Tombow’s Irojiten Color Dictionary Pencils.
This card uses a fun spring image from Designed2Delight called Ladybug Bloom. I cut a flower shape (yellow) to go with the flower theme with my cricut and zigzag stitched around it.
