Tombow Video!



Today is our last day partnering 
with ... 


We have a video and a card 
by Laurel that I think you'll 
love ... as a great send off! 

If you didn't stop by the blog 
this week, yet .... here's a little recap 
of one of our favorite companies, Tombow~

You might know them from some of these
amazing products.... 


Glue!! I love this liquid glue... 
I literally use it for EVERYTHING! 



Of course, their water-based markers
were some of my first and I still love using 
them to color straight on my stamps... more 
on these fun markers coming this week! 



And of course, their runners are super 
quality too! (even compared to my beloved
ATG... these Tombow runners are so versatile and easy 
to take on the go... my ATG is a little bulky lol) 


___________


I'm so excited to show you the video
that Laurel made to go with this card



She used 'Happy Bugs' which has 
been a hug hit for us ... it's flying off the shelves! 
(We're so glad you LOVE it!!) 


You can find it in the shop... 


Let's get straight to Laurel's video! 
She always does such a great job... I love 
watchin' these!!

But we have some really cool stuff to 
show you today!! 

If you didn't stop by the blog 
this week, yet .... here's a little recap 
of one of our favorite companies, Tombow~

You might know them from some of these
amazing products....

They carry lots of other fun stuff... 
Today Ellen and Joleen are showing off 
two different ways to use the markers... 

Let's start with Joleen, she's just so 
darn talented!! 

She used one of our new sets 'Happy Bugs' 


Love this new set... check out 
the mini album cover that Joleen 
made... 




Head on over to Joleen's blog to see *how* she colored
in those cute little bugs! She did a great job!



--------------

Next up is a layout by Ellen... her scrapbooking 
is genius!! Sweet genius!! 

Check out her layout using the stamp set
'Buddie Bee' 


You can see up close that she 
used the markers to color the stamp 
before stamping it so she could make the 
collar a different color!

Brilliant!


I really love how she sewed around the edges!


Take a moment to head over to Ellen's 
blog and say hello... AND see this layout 
with all the details she put into it!!

Color Your World! Sweet Style!

Yippee it's another fun day with...


If you didn't stop by the blog 
yesterday .... here's a little recap 
of one of our favorite companies, Tombow~

You might know them from some of these
amazing products.... 


Glue!! I love this liquid glue... 
I literally use it for EVERYTHING! 


Of course, their water-based markers
were some of my first and I still love using 
them to color straight on my stamps... more

And of course, their runners are super 
quality too! (even compared to my beloved
ATG... these Tombow runners are so versatile and easy 
to take on the go... my ATG is a little bulky lol) 


They carry lots of other fun stuff... BUT
today I'm showing off the pretty markers!!

I'm using 'Old School Rock' 


An oldie but a goodie!! 

So I broke out some of the markers 
and stamped the tape on some white cardstock

I started by outlining in blue... 


Then I grabbed the lighter blue and 
the blender and created some shadow... 
(excuse the blurry photo!) 


Then I wanted to make the outside green... 
So, I grabbed the green and my watercolor 
brush! I love that these markers are basically 
watercolor markers!! It's such a cool effect...


Then to add some depth I added some 
grey with my watercolor brush! 

(this time I put some color on my clear block 
so I could pick up the color with the watercolor brush... 
it's a much lighter effect... I loved it!!) 


Then I added a couple extra poppies to it 
and called it a day... (with some ribbon of course!) 


Fast, easy, and FUN card!! 

Check out 'Old School Rock' in the shop... 



Of course what would be a 
partnership with a COOL company 
without a little give-a-way...
