I drew the football background with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder and the white Signo Uniball gel pen. The design was a Studio download. With the white pen it is easiest to keep it away from the rollers on your machine and keep your speed down to 1 and your thickness at 1 as well.
The journaling was done with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder and a metallic gel pen called Scribble Stuff by the Write Brothers. I picked them up at Target. The font is Lettering Delights thin font Sporty.
I needed something to embellish my page (boy embellishments are hard to find!) so I made the embossed stars with a stylus in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder and an embossing mat. This is a thin metal sheet from Ten Second Studios. I used a speed of 3 and a thickness of 20. Make sure your metal sheet is secure on your mat color side down. I just use double sided tape. Set your height of your stylus after your mat is already in the machine. These are nesting stars from a Studio download.
Keep in mind you can also do this with the Cricut & the Cricut Explore machines as well, you just need the proper Chomas Creations tools.
I cut out the stars using regular scissors and gave them a light sanding to make the lines in the stars pop! The title is from a Studio download.
Here is the completed page! Along with my football star!

Newbie here, trying to address envelopes with a white Uniball gel pen.
How do you "keep it away from the rollers"? Are you referring to the white rollers, or the black ones? The black ones smeared my test envelope. Can they be moved?
Rachel try sliding the black rollers to the side. You can always slide them back when you are done.
