Card and layout with Chomas Creations holders

 

Yesterday my daughter turned 18 (shocking I know!) I wanted to make a page while the thoughts of this day were fresh in my head. And oh boy do I have some thoughts on it...
I used the Chomas Creations engraving tip to etch the circles into the Core'dinations kraft-core cardstock. I had my speed set at 7, my pressure at 33, and I used double cut.  Then I used a brillo pad to give a light sanding to the surface to clean it up.


The eighteen title was a download from the Studio store called eighteen.  I added it on one of the bracket designs.
I had a lot of journaling to do on this layout, so I did it on the computer and printed it on kraft cardstock, then added ribbon to it.

Then I added one of my daughter's senior pictures (taken by me!) and some chipboard hearts (I'm bringing chipboard back!) and buttons.

I also did a birthday card for my son that is 14 today!  Yes my kids are born 4 years and 1 day apart!  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with the Paper Mate flair pens.  They are like felt tip pens, but don't squish down when you use them in the Cameo, and they don't bleed into cardstock!  You can download the happy birthday background for your card that I designed here... happy birthday.  The font I used was altera (looks like a single lined font!)  I used my speed at 5 and thickness at 7 to draw the background.  I inked this chipboard star red (see I told you I was bringing chipboard back!) and attached it to my page with some ribbon.  Super quick card that doesn't look it!
Welcome to the Getting’ Crafty with the Cameo blog hop. We’re all so happy to have you hopping along with us, so grab a drink and sit back and enjoy. There is a great line up with some amazingly talented ladies that are super excited to share their projects with you using their Silhouette Cameo (if you get lost anywhere in the hop, the list of the ladies is at the bottom of this post).

Thanks so much for sharing your creativity. Would love to win one of the holders. Not sure what I would do with it but I'm sure I would love expermenting with them.

Would love to know if you cut your chipboard with your silhouette and if so what speed and pressure?

Again Thanks for sharing your talent.

Cute LO, love the journaling. Love all the options you have with the Cameo and the Chomas engraving tip and pen holders. If I won the pen holder I would write on the inside of my cards with the Cameo (as soon as I buy it, that is!).

What a great layout. TFS and for the giveaway. God Bless

Kellye N said...

I just love the way you've got me looking at my silhouette as so much more than a cutting machine; you've given it super powers!

In fact, I showed my son the machine in action with the silhouette pens and we both agreed it was like watching an automaton! I can't even imagine what I'd do with a pen holder!

Love how you did the title

Unknown said...

You do such beautiful work! I love your products!!! I posted a link to your store in a group that I am in and I know at least one person has since ordered... Once I can I plan to order also. I would continue to create the things I do now, but with a little more flair and style if I had your marker or pen holder!

Amy Martin said...

I love both of your projects. You have some really great idea's thanks for sharing them with us. Well I dont have a cameo yet but I hope to get one soon. So I really cant tell you until I get a cameo. Thanks for the hop. I know I need some pens though. They enhance everything.

Liz Vasquez said...

I'm fairly new to the silhouette cameo and am continually amazed at all it can do. The FB pages are always referring to your pens & I'm anxious to try the technique.
I'm enjoying the Blog Hop but have to say, I LOVED the journaling on your daughter's card. Our daughter's may grow up - but they're always our little girls, aren't they? Thank you for that reminder.
