Taylored Expressions and Tombow Spring Fling Blog Hop March 21, 2015

Welcome to the Taylored Expressions and Tombow Spring Fling Blog Hop! You probably came here from Charmaine Ikach’s Blog but if you happened to stumble across my blog go to the Tombow Blog to start!

My project used the Oh Happy Day Stamp and Die Cut Set from Taylored Expressions and the Dual Brush Pen Bright Set and Adhesives from Tombow.

I started with this cute memo pad holder from Kaisercraft.

I covered it with a book page using Mono Aqua Liquid Glue, the perfect paper to wood glue! I cut the paper a little bit larger than the wood piece, and then used a emery board to sand the edges to make it perfectly flush.

Here it is covered with the book page!

The next step was to stamp and color the flowers from the Oh Happy Day Stamp Set using the Dual Brush Pen Bright Set. I used the colorless blending pen to do a little blending.

The Oh Happy Day Matching Die Cuts makes it super easy and quick to cut out the blossoms!

The flowers were adhered to the back of the memo holder using both the Dots Adhesive Tape Runner and Foam Tabs from Tombow. The little bit of dimension from the Foam Tabs makes those bright blossoms pop! I also added a 727 Zoom Pen from Tombow for a lovely gift pairing.

Taylored Expressions & Tombow Blog Hop October 23, 2013

Welcome to the Taylored Expressions and Tombow blog hop, if you just came from Stephanie’s Blog you are on the right track!

I sure had some great fun with Taylored Expressions Toil & Trouble Stamp set! There were so many elements to have some wicked fun with! I created this invitation for an evening with friends using the stamp set and colored with Tombow Irojiten Colored Pencils.  The invitation details are computer generated, printed out and shaded with the Irojiten Pencils.

The panels are attached using the Dots Adhesive Stamp Runner and Foam Tabs for a dimensional look. Look closely at the bottles, they were outlined with the #977 Dual Brush Pen (a color which matched the background paper) before cutting out. This results in a ‘shadowed’ image that blends into the background beautifully. It’s easy to be creative when you start with excellent products! Now go an see what Jen has designed on her blog!

To get you into the Halloween spirit, we’re giving away a fa-BOO-lous prize! To enter, leave a comment on each hop blog post. One winner will be randomly chosen from all hop comments to win a prize package that includes a Tombow Permanent Adhesive Runner, a Tombow Dual Brush Pen Set of 6 Groovy, and a Taylored Expressions Halloween stamp set of winner’s choice!
