RI WIW Designers Choice Challenge-Anything But A Card

It is What If Wednesday on The House That Stamps Built blog and this week and Rock Star Deonna has challenged us to created Anything but a Card.

One thing that I love to create at holiday time is little treat gifts. Any excuse to buy a bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares will work for me!

I die cut two small tags and scored each one 1/4" up from the bottom of the tag. I then adhered the two 1/4" pieces together to create the space for the chocolate square. I tied them closed with some ribbon and twine. These are quick and easy to put together. One tip I have is to stamp/color several images at once and then you will have them ready to go when you need to put a quick little gift together.

I used the following Repeat Impressions images:

Winter Birds #309N

Poinsettia #2012H

Penguin Tree #8802 N

Be sure to head on over to each of the Rock Star's blogs and check out their amazing "non card" projects:

We would love to have you play along with the challenge as well, head on over to The House That Stamps Built for all of the details. Wendy will be giving away an awesome prize to one lucky person who plays along :)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I hope you are having a boo-ti-ful day!

Today, I am going to re-visit some of my favorite Halloween card creations.

First up is this adorable Witchy Prue card:

Prue was colored with Tombow Irojiten Color Pencils and blended with Gamsol. I used Tombow Foam Tabs for the popped up parts and Tombow Mono Adhesive for the flat panels. Prue is a digi image from By Lori Designs.

Next up is Frankie:

Frankie is another digi from By Lori Designs and was colored with Tombow Dual Brush Pens and a bit of Irojiten color pencil for the shading. The Dual Brush Pens and Irojiten pencils like to play nice together that way. Try it out!

I used Tombow Mono Multi to hold this adorable Fry Box together. The box is a downloadable file from the Silhouette store.

Last, but not least is another By Lori Designs digi file (can you tell I really love BLD?) called Marvin Mummy.

Marvin was simply colored with just a couple of Tombow Dual Brush pens and the Blender pen. I added the shading with Dual Brush Pen #N95 and for his skin I used Dual Brush Pen #850 and the Blender pen. When using the Blender pen, I like to scribble my color onto an acrylic block and then pick up the color with the Blender pen. Tombow Foam Tabs and Tombow Mono Adhesive were used to hold everything together.

I hope you have enjoyed this little blast from my Halloween past! Happy trick or treating today!

Sticky U with Tombow

Hi there! Today, I am sharing my Tombow Sticky U DIY project using Tombow's Xtreme Adhesive to get the job done!

Tombow is introducing Sticky University AKA StickyU! This is "The Stickiest School Around!" The primary focus is to teach craft aficionados how to create works of art that stick by using Tombow’s latest adhesive product, Xtreme. This adhesive is 5 X’s Stronger than our standard tape runner. It works on a variety of hard to glue surfaces such as cardstock, cork, wood, fabric, glass, plastic and rubber. We will also be using #StickyU for all the fun projects!

I created a great paper box that is sturdy enough to hold a special memento or some of your favorite photos. By using the Tombow Xtreme adhesive, I am sure that this box will stand the test of time.

Each of the print panels was adhered to the box using Xtreme and then I used just a wee bit of Xtreme for the back of each piece of greenery and even the flowers!

I die cut the butterflies from the Memory Box Pippi die and then glittered the centers using Tombow Mono Aqua and some glass glitter.

Each of the panels and scallop circles are adhered to this box using Xtreme Adhesive.

Be sure to click the link below so that you can download the instructions and start creating boxes now. They would make great holiday gifts!

Come and hop with Tombow and Walnut Hollow

Hello and happy Friday to each and everyone of you! This weekend the Tombow team is hopping with the awesome team at Walnut Hollow.

I chose to get creative with the Walnut Hollow Boutique Tissue Box. I started by applying a base layer of black acrylic paint to the entire surface of the box.

Next, I added some black print paper to each side of the box using Tombow Xtreme Adhesive, this adhesive worked perfectly for this application!

I cut several flowers using a Silhouette cut file and added some Tea Dye Distress ink to the edges and layered them together using Tombow Mono Multi. I die cut some leaves out of green print paper using the Memory Box Fresh Foliage die. I added the foliage to the tissue box using Tombow Mono Multi and then added the flowers using some Tombow Foam Tabs. I added buttons to the flowers and sequins using a bit more Tombow Mono Multi.

Want to win a fabulous prize?

Walnut Hollow featuring Ann Butler Designs

Hi there and welcome to a special hop with Walnut Hollow and Ann Butler Designs.

Several talented designers have gotten together to create works of art using products from Walnut Hollow and Ann Butler Designs. Be sure to visit each of the blogs listed below as we wouldn't want you to miss any of their awesome designs.

I worked with the following products:

Walnut Hollow-Serving Tray #3580

Ann Butler Designs

Unity Stamp Company-2" Diamonds and Plaids

ColorBox Crafter's Ink in Aquamarine, Limelight, Lilac and Berry

Earth Safe Finishes Iridescent Paint in Aquamarine, Limelight, Lilac and Berry

I started with a couple of layers of Gesso. You can also see the Lilac paint on the insides of the handles.

I stamped the long sides with two of the Diamond patterned stamps. These were stamped in Lilac and Berry inks and then a light layer of Gesso was applied once the inks were dry. I added some Black Enamel dots and doodles in black permanent ink.

Next, I painted the Berry paint on the inside bottom of the tray, let it dry and applied Gesso over the top. The Berry paint came through the Gesso and created a pretty pink backdrop for the flowers.

The edges of the tray were painted in Limelight paint and then I added some Gesso with my finger to create a aged/washed look. I finished off them off with some more Enamel dots and doodles.

The flowers were stamped in Aquamarine and Limelight inks. Once dry, I outlined them in black permanent marker and added some doodled dots and Diamond Glitter Glue to finish off the tray.

Be sure to visit each of the blogs below for much more inspiration.

RI Project of the Week - Easter Treats

Hello stampers!

Happy Monday to all!

Today, I am sharing my Easter Treats project with you on.

For starters, I embossed some glassine bags with some decorative embossing folders and cut some scallop ovals and regular ovals to create some toppers from the bags.

Next, I gathered the following Repeat Impressions stamps: Beauty of Springtime 1304-J, Duckling 705-G and Grass Border 1507-J and started by stamping the grass in a light and medium green inks. Next, I stamped the sentiment with black ink to the left of the tag.

Isn't this duckling the cutest? I colored her with markers and then fussy cut each one out.

Finally, I added the duckling to the right of the tag and tied the tags on with some bakers twine.

What kind of treats are you creating for Easter?

All weekend the Tombow team is hopping with the My Minds Eye team to share some fun projects with you.

You should have arrived at my blog from Valerie O'Neall's awesome blog, if not you can go back to the Tombow blog and start from the beginning.

I am sharing projects created with the Now and Then Milo collection. I love the colors in this collection and have created two completely different projects using all of the goodies.

For my first project, I wanted to use this fun anchor paper, I love anything nautical! I used Tombow Extreme Glue Tape to adhere each of the layers to the card with the excepting of the waves. I used Tombow Foam Tabs to pop up the waves for some fun dimension. I used Tombow Dual Brush Pens to color the lighthouse. The silver eyelets are from the MME Enamel Elements pack and they are the perfect touch!

Next, I want to share some fun little treat boxes with you.

I love that this collection has both feminine and masculine papers and elements in it.

I used Tombow Xtreme Glue Tape to hold the boxes together as it is super strong. I used Tombow Mono Multi to adhere the print panels to the box and again to attach the decorative elements. These boxes are the perfect little gifty for someone special.

All Heart

Happy middle of the week to each and every one of you. It is What If Wednesday again on The House That Stamps Built blog and it is a Designers Choice Challenge this week. Joyce has challenged us to use hearts somewhere on on card/project.

I think I managed to do just that!

I created the heart box using this Silhouette cut file called 3D Heart Box #53783 and then I stamped the RI Scruffy Puppy #8120-K in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with markers. Next, I cut a white banner from some scrap cardstock and stamped the RI Happy Valentine's Day #1203-F in Rich Cocoa ink. I layered the white banner to a pink banner layer. I added a little die cut heart to the banner and gave it a little shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella brush pen. To add a little dimension to the heart, I added some Glossy Accents.

After I colored the puppy, I added some gold glitter pen to her fur. She has the prettiest shimmer!

Love Banner

Hi there! This week the Tombow team has been playing along with Debbie's awesome challenge to use Pantone's Color of the Year which is Radiant Orchid.

I had an idea to make a fun banner for Valentine's Day.

Each of the banners is 4 1/4" x 6". I started with a light orchid cardstock and then layered a medium orchid panel that I embossed with a Cuttlebug EF. I wasn't sure how I was going to like this color, but guess what? I likey a lot! I used Tombow's new Extreme Adhesive to adhere the embossed panel to the lighter orchid layer and it worked like a charm as sometimes it can be a bit tricky when you have the extra element of embossing. Next, I cut the doily and LOVE letters using Silhouette cut files out of white and orchid cardstocks. I attached the doilies with Tombow Foam Tabs and the letters to the doilies with Tombow Mono Multi. You can't see it, but I added a wee bit of glitter to each of the hearts. The panels were tied together with twine and little bows added for a finishing touch.

Don’t forget to participate in the challenge, you will find all of the details here.

You could win Tombow Power Tabs, Tombow Dual Brush Pens and the NEW Tombow Xtreme Adhesive!

Enjoy This Day

Hello and welcome to the weekend! I am so happy to say that we have finally gotten some rain here in Central CA and is much needed. Although most of the country has been freezing cold and in the snow, we have been unusually warm and dry here.

Today, I am sharing a card and tealight box that I created using a Watercolor Technique with Tombow Dual Brush Pens.

I started with a bold image stamp from Impression Obsession called Solid Rose Cluster and inked it up using the following colors of Tombow Dual Brush Pens #452, 373, 133, 126. I started with the lightest color on the flowers and then went in with a bit of the darker color, next I did the same thing for the leaves using the green markers. I spritzed the stamp lightly and stamped it onto some white cardstock. I always leave the stamp down for about a count of ten to allow the ink to absorb into the cardstock a bit. I used Neenah Solar White 80# cardstock.

I used a Tombow Glue Pen to scribble random circle patterns onto each of the roses and sprinkled with Microfine Silk Warm Diamond Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Now for the whammy! I created this adorable little box following a tutorial from Pootles Papercrafts on You Tube. You can check it out here. I love making boxes and never, ever want them to come apart (especially when used as gifts) and I am thrilled beyond words to say that the new Tombow Xtreme Glue Tape worked perfectly to hold this little box nice and secure!

Hip, hip, hooray! Can you tell I am excited? I can't wait for you to try this amazing new adhesive from Tombow. It really is the bomb diggity!

Top 13 of 2013

Hi there and happy 2014!

Operation Write Home is having a hop where each person can share their Top 13 cards/projects for 2013.

Now all of my projects may not be OWH cards and I will note underneath if there is a reason why it wouldn't meet OWH guidelines. I think this will help the newer OWH card creators to know what can/cannot be used (i.e. glitter, bulk,) for our cards for our Heros.

If you would like more info on any of the cards posted, please click on the name above the card to be taken to my original blog post.

Valentine Peyton

OMIT the glitter from the heart on this one and it would be a great Valentine or Love card from OWH. Always remember, no glitter for Operation Write Home.

Be My Valentine
