Christmas tags with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

I love making my own Christmas tags for a fun homemade feel when wrapping (or bagging hehe) my gifts.  I have used these tags in the past and you can find the file for them here... tags
I like to draw the design first which I used a Gelly Roll gel pen in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Cameo 4 to draw.  You can also do this with any other Silhouette machine with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Silhouette.
In order to draw first I send my image over to draw & turn off all the lines I don't want to draw by highlighting them and choosing no sketch.  Notice because I am drawing I select sketch, and then pen.  Now the "cuts" I need to make will not draw as they have been turned off.  Notice what I am drawing is a brighter thicker lined red, and anything not being sent right now is a thin line.
Next I'm going to select everything and set that to no sketch.  
Now I'm going to select cut, and I'm using the auto blade.  Now the items I want to cut I highlight & click the cut option.  Now the only thing being sent once again is the cut lines as you will notice they are thicker lined red.
And look at that a whole sheet of Christmas tags! 

I added some ribbon and will use double sided adhesive to add these to any present or I can just tie them on the handles of any gift bag I may have!  I think they add a fun personal touch!

Grad party cards with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

I love the way these grad cards turned out with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder and a silver metallic Sharpie.  I just chose the grads class colors and drew this out.  By using the sketch feature to fill in the design in the software you get this look!  Make sure you slow your speed and lower your pressure all the way to 1.  Otherwise you may crush the tip of the Sharpie!  
I did these in the Cameo 4 found here... Cameo 4 marker holder
but you can use and of the Silhouette machines with a Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder found here.... Chomas Creations

Aluminum dogs tags with the Chomas Creations engraving tip

What amazing me the most about the Chomas Creations engravers is how very small you can make details and fonts. I used the Chomas Creations engraving tip on these aluminum dog tags with a speed of 5 and a pressure of 33 and a multi cut of 5. If you use double sided adhesive the tags won't wiggle on the mat when you are engraving.
A template is key when you try to engrave on anything. I measure the area I'm going to engrave on and for these I made a rectangle the size of the area where the names went and then cut that rectangle out of a scrap of paper. After that I apply the tag in the area when I am going to do the engraving and it lines up perfect every time.

Of course this will work with all the Silhouette machines but I was using my new Cameo 4 to celebrate the face that the new Chomas Creations tools for the Cameo 4 are now shipping! You can order here... http://amychomas.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_18
I used the Chomas Creations engraving tip in the Cameo 4 to make these cuff bracelets from ImpressArts. I used a pressure of 33, a speed of 10 and a multicut of 2. I then darkened in the top bracelet with Sharpie and rubbed the excess off with rubbing alcohol.

I found a bottle opener on etsy that was under 3 mm so I gave it a go for engraving in my Cameo 4 with the Chomas Creations precision tip. It was anodized aluminum and did take multiple passes to get through. I used a pressure of 33 and speed of 3. I think it turned out cute and plan on trying on more!
I did use double sided adhesive to secure it to the mat. I just added a video to the Chomas Creations YouTube channel to help see how I did it.

Cuff bracelets with the Chomas Creations precision tip in the Cameo 4


Playing around today with some copper blanks I got on etsy. They are the cuff bracelets so they are flat when they go into your machine and you bend them when they come out.  
I made sure to use double sided adhesive to stick them to my mat then engraved on them with the Chomas Creations precision tip.  This was in the Cameo 4 but there are also engraving tips for the entire line of Silhouette machines.   The design was from the Silhouette store. After I colored in the engraved design with Sharpie and used rubbing alcohol to get the extra off.  
I used a pressure of 30, speed of 3 and multi cut of 4.

Labels with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder


Organizing the pantry today and decided to make some labels for my containers using a fine point Sharpie in the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Cameo 4 to draw on vinyl from 651 Vinyl.
I drew the design first and then cut around the design for this look.
Make sure you slow the speed to 3 and lower the pressure to 1 when doing this as you can crush the tip of the Sharpie.

Silhouette Cameo 4 adjustable pen holder

The Cameo 4 adjustable pen holder is coming soon to the Chomas Creations store!  It adjusts to center most gel pens (the ones with the squishy grips won't fit you will need the adjustalble marker holder).  I got these Gelly Roll gel pens at either Michaels, Joanns or Hobby Lobby and of course you can find them online.  If you ever want to center a gel pen and cut in shadow this is your way to go.
For gel pens I slow down the speed to 3-5 and lower the pressure to around 10.
I love the look of the chalky gel pens on Kraft cardstock.  You can preorder the Cameo 4 tools here... Chomas Creations
