Birthday card using the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder and gel pens

I loved all of the black cardstock I've been using with the chalk look, so I thought I would make a birthday card like that.
I used the cut line settings to change out all of my colors.  I have a tutorial on this here... Sparkle card
I like to do things in a row, say brads, buttons, or even this Viva Décor look.  But lining them up just right is near impossible, and I thought, why not draw some circles that are all spaced out, then the work and guessing is done for me?  So I did!  I used the Target brand up & up gel pens in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder to draw on black cardstock.

This was super easy in Studio, I just drew a line where I wanted my circles to be, used the rhinestone feature (1), chose the edge feature (2), chose the size rhinestones I wanted (3), and then spaced them further apart (4).  Voila!  All the guess work done for you!

Then I filled all of the circles in with Viva Décor.  This stuff is awesome! I've had it awhile.  The difference in this is when it dries it is still 3d! 

The font I chose is called Vintage One.  I also made a rectangle around the inside of my card and changed my line style settings to be dashed.  I also added a stylus to my Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder to score the fold in my card.  You can see how I did that here... score tutorial

Fun Christmas tags with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

I love making my own Christmas tags with the Chomas Creations holders!  These are my fav and I will be making more this year!!!
I saw the cutest idea for a gift tag and had to make my own!  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a GLITTER gel pen to draw the tag designs!  If you want the file for Studio for these tags, you can get it here... gift tags  Gelly Roll by Sakura make some amazing gel pens that center in the Chomas Creations pen holders.

If you want to learn how to use the cut line settings to make your own tags, I have a tutorial here.. tag tutorial  I added lots of fun ribbon to these tags.  I can't wait to use them!

Christmas tags with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

One of my favorite things to do with the Chomas Creations tools is to make my own Christmas tags.  You can make a whole page full and do other things while they are running.  I found this whole pack of fine point markers from Sharpie that are no bleed so they worked perfect on this kraft cardstock.  They fit in the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Silhouette machines.  You could also do this with the Cricut Explore.

Here are the tags I did for my rice socks that I am doing as Christmas gifts.  You could also do to & from tags the same way.  Notice I make the holes as well for ribbon.

Here are my rice sock gifts.  Super easy to make, just fill a knee high sock with rice and I added 8 drops of lavender & 4 drops of peppermint both from Young Living.  You heat them in the microwave for 1 1/2  minutes and sit and relax!  The oils last quite a long time and when they fade you can always untie the sock and add more.
