The Chomas Creations adjustable holders & Copic markers


Can you imagine drawing pretty much image you already own, or pretty much any image you can find online and trace, and then color them in with the Copic markers?  Of course you could also use Spectrum Noir, Promarkers, colored pencil, even crayon! 
If you would like some awesome video tutorials on how to trace images with the Silhouette Studio software you have to go to Kay's blog Clever Someday and watch Tracing without Tears!  I've been using the Silhouette Studio software for quite some time, but I even learned a few things watching her videos on tracing!
Now these are just some fonts I had on my computer that I used for the names on these frames.  I have a Copic Multiliner which is the black you see that I drew.  These don't smear with the Copic Markers.  I know there are other markers out there that won't smear but I don't know what they are, but I would love to add them to the list if you know what they are! Just email me amyc222@yahoo.com or comment on here!

I added the Copic Multiliner to the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder in the Cameo and drew the names on these frames.  I used a thickness of 5, a speed of 7 and a multicut of 2 (this really made the black even nicer!)   I also used Kay's dingbat font she has on her computer for the ovals, it has a bunch of shapes that I find very useful.  You can find that here... dingbat font
I'm not the best at coloring with Copics, but I try lol!!  I did find out that adding some Mod Podge to the top of the colored in Copics did not smear them at all!  Now I know they will be protected to.

Color your own cards with the Chomas Creations adjustable holders


My daughter had a birthday party to go to which means we needed to make a card for her friend!  I thought it would be fun to involve her so I used the Studio, the Cameo and the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder to make this card.  Blue is my daughter's friends favorite color so I used the Lettering Delights thin fonts to draw the sentiment.  I also used a stylus in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder to score this card, you maybe able to see it if you enlarge the card.

The card before...
The card after...
Of course you could always let the recipient color it as well!

Valentines Card with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

My Valentines card for my hubby!  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder in the Cameo with the Staedtler triplus fineliner (have I mentioned I love these pens??  lol)  The heart pattern was a download from the Studio store, as well as the sentiment.  I cut the sentiment out of Colorboks metallic sheets (2- 12x12 sheets for $1 at Target!)  Pretty simple!

And as a special treat for all of you... Spend $30 or more in the Chomas Creations store and use the coupon code bemine10 at checkout to save 10% off your purchase! Code good through 2-15-2013.

A little Valentine's Love with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

This year for Valentine's Day and to work on the kids' handwriting the teacher asked for each child to write a little note to their classmates about what is special about them.  Great idea! 
So I went to the drawing board (aka Silhouette Studio) and made a bunch of hearts with lines in them for my kids to write on.  Although I did really want to do the same ones I did last year...
The kids really wanted to do their own this year though!  If you want to make some of these hearts with journaling lines the file for them is here... heart linesI used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder in the Cameo with the Chomas Creations red glitter gel pen & the Staedtler triplus fineliner (cause boys don't want glitter pens mom).  You know these would also be great for doing your journaling on scrapbook pages as well!
I set the Studio file up for these Valentines so I could fit 9 on each 12x12 page.  The shadow cuts to go around these hearts will also fit 9 on a 12x12 page.
Here are my daughter's sentiments.  If you click on the picture below you maybe able to read some of them.  They are quite cute!
And as a special treat for all of you... Spend $30 or more in the Chomas Creations store and use the coupon code bemine10 at checkout to save 10% off your purchase!  Code good through 2-15-2013.
