Father's Day card with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

So I had to see one of these new Lettering Delights sketches for myself with Silhouette Studio, so while I was getting the kids ready for bed, I let the Cameo do all the work.  I used the Sharpie Liquid Pencil. 
Here are the Sharpie Liquid Pencils, which I found at Target (sorry they were open, I had to play hehe!)

Here is the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Cameo drawing the sketch.  I used Silhouette Studio with some of the new Lettering Delights thin fonts (this one is called LDT Teacher) to write Happy Father's Day at the bottom of the card.  Again Jin has a tutorial on using the new sketches on her blog... Under A Cherry Tree

I'm just amazed at what the Cameo can do!  Sooooo smooth!  I can't wait for Doug Larson to release more of these sketches to play with!  I inked around the edges of this card for a more rustic feel as well.  You can click on these pictures to get an even better idea on how amazing these details are!

Chomas Creations tools in the Cameo 3

I have already  mentioned that all of the Chomas Creations tools for the Silhouette will work in the Cameo 3, but in case you missed it...  All of the Chomas Creations tools will fit in the Silhouette!
And if you would like to see it in action I did a Facebook live video you can see here...  Facebook LIVE!

I will admit I do not have the best printing and that is what I love about using the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with gel pens.  My fav gel pens are the Gelly Roll by Sakura.  They have over 100 different styles and colors, so you are sure to find something you like.  They also center in the adjustable pen holder.  I use journaling fonts, thin fonts or sketch fonts.  There are links on the left side of my blog for some thin font ideas.
I do like to buy these cards that are cut to size and already scored, and they come with matching envelopes.  I just add them to my mat and draw write on them.  I finished them off with some ribbon that my little helper helped me pick out!  I try to keep cards on hand at all times so I can grab them and go.  Some are super simple like these!

On the farm with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

Look at these cute farm animals from the Silhouette Studo store that I drew right on my background paper with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder and the Zig Ball .5mm pens.  Most gel pens are .7mm, so for sketching the thinner the tip, the better! 
The tractor was a Studio file that I used the Sketch feature on in Designer's Edition to make it resemble the animals more.

                                    
Here is the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with the Zig pen in the Cameo machine.  I used a speed of 8 and a thickness of 9 to draw everything on the background page.

I also did my journaling right on my 12x12 background paper.  The font is Lettering Delights Sporty.

The barn is a Studio download but I welded the title in Studio and cut them both out and layered them.

Here is my son on his field trip as well as some ribbon to pop on the page.

Cherish layout with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

I have a confession to make.  I started this page over 5 years ago.  It has sat and sat with only paper and pictures on it, just waiting to get finished.  I guess I got stuck on a title, and some finishing ideas.  I didn't know if I was happy with the set up.  Today I decided to get it done!  I found this very fitting title in the Studio downloads. 

And another confession.  I'm addicted to cool pens and markers.  I have to look every time I am at a store.  These Sharpie pens were at Target in the best colors!  And notice the no bleed sign on the front!  Perfect for cardstock, and fine tip!  And look, they even fit in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holders, and this means they are centered when you use them!

So I used the Sharpie pens in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Cameo to do the journaling on this page!  The font is from a Lettering Delights font called LD Typewriter.  It is a thin font, and look how nice it looks for details!  I did this in Studio.  When you buy the Lettering Delights thin fonts, you can download the zip file which includes the TTF version of the fonts that you install on your computer and can use in Studio!

And here is the completed page, along with some hearts and ribbon!  I'm so glad I got this page done after all these years!

Sweet with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

Lucky me!  My niece Addi made me my very own scrapbook!  We decided we needed more pictures of the 2 of us together and how could I not document how very touched I was?
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a Staedtler triplus pen to do the journaling.  I used a thickness of 3 and a speed of 5 to draw the journaling.  The font is from Lettering Delights and is called Giddy.  It is one of the thin fonts that I love for journaling as it looks single lined even though it isn't!  Notice how I did my journaling right on my 12x12 layout!  No need for a big printer for me!

I do love the look of white on white for a subtle look (especially with my crazy color journaling!) so I did the title in that.  This is a Studio download by House of 3 called sweet.

Here is my finished page along with my sweet niece!!

Birthday card with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder and some free fonts!

So I see these doodle fonts that I like from someone else, then realize there is a whole bunch more by the same person!  So if you are looking for some dingbats and cute fonts (some are thin and would work great for journaling), look no further then MTF fonts!
I used the MTF Cupcake font for this card, as well as the MTF Sweetdings for the actual cupcake.  Did I mention both are FREE fonts!  And look how cute!  I drew them both with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder and the Staedtler triplus fineliner (one of my fav pens!).  I used a thickness of 4 and a speed of 5 for the drawing.
 Notice how the font looks like a thin font or single line font.  This will work at smaller sizes for these fonts, but the bigger you get the font will look outlined.

Even more free handwriting fonts!

Pinterest is one of my favorite places to waste time!  While pinteresting (is that a word?) today I found a list of 50 handwriting fonts!  Keep in mind when you use these fonts the thinner the better if you want to draw with your Chomas Creations tools.  Any thicker font will look outlined.  Some of the thinner fonts will look like handwriting, depends on the size you make the font. 
On the Shabby Creek Cottage here is a list of 50 fonts... fonts

Cool in the pool journaling on your background page

Well it is spring.  It is also 40 degrees and rainy out and right now in Michigan we have flood warnings and freeze warnings at the same time!  So what better reason to do a summery page?  Brighten up my mood a bit and pray for summer!
I've been scrapbooking for years (eeek 15!) and one of the things I always liked was when the journaling was done right on your background page.  Well I don't have a 12x12 printer.  One would be nice... So why not get this same look with the Cameo and the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder?  Easy!  Write your journaling in Studio, there is even a type tool, place it on your page where you need it, then draw away!  I have a list of thin fonts I like to use just for this here... thin fonts
This one is from Lettering Delights called LDT Casual.

All of the files on this page are Studio downloads.  I have so many and I just need to search and use them!

Renegades layout with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

Last weekend my niece was in a softball tournament with 40 other teams and they took 2nd place!  The girls did awesome!  I wanted to make a layout for her to hang up in her room to remember her achievement, so here it is!
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a black metallic Chomas Creations gel pen to draw the lines and quote on home plate.  The quote was one of the Lettering Delights thin fonts called Sporty.  This share (without my quote hehe!) is available for Studio here...  journaling home plate 
I traced the title from an email from my sister of their team name in Studio.

The border is a download from the Studio store.  I got these pictures of one of the 5 games my niece played this 3 day weekend.  I left the journaling lines blank so my sister can write more on them.

Six with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

Being that my daughter will be 8 in less then 2 months I figured I better get this photo scrapbooked!  (Have I ever mentioned I'm behind on a lot of things??  hehe!) 
Now some of these gel pens write thicker then others, which can be a problem with the rollers making them smear.  So I slowed my speed down to 1, and put my pressure at 4, and look! No smearing!  This is the Signo Uniball white gel pen in the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder (it is too fat to fit in the adjustable pen holder). 

Most of the files on here are from Studio (top 10 list, six hearts, six), but I did design the top 10 lines and numbers (the numbers are a Lettering Delights thin font), and if you would like to use this, you can download the share here... ten lines  Without my journaling of course!

Here is a close up of the entire title & border drawn with the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder and white Signo Uniball gel pen.

The paper is October Afternoon and I also added some baker's twine.

And so it begins with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

I had run across these photos of my 2 youngest from about 5 years ago, and it reminded me of how things are right now as well!  Seems they were going at each other even then hehe!  Not fun when you have 2 1/2 months left of summer vacation! 
I've said before that Lettering Delights has new thin fonts, and I'm playin with them again!  Don't forget you can use these fonts in Studio as well, just download the zip file on LD, and use the TTF version of the fonts.  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Silhouette Cameo with a Papermate Flair marker to draw my journaling and the start of my title. 

Notice how the fonts look thin even at a bigger size!

I added my pics along with some ribbon, hearts cut with the Cameo and buttons and voila!  All finished!

Thank you card with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

I have to work on some end of year thank you cards for the kids' teachers this year, and  here is one I came up with!  I was thinking the white gel pen would look like chalk on the chalk board (although they use smart boards at my kids' school!).  So I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder for the Cameo with the Signo white gel pen to draw the Lettering Delights thin font called Teacher in MTC.  You can get the share for this file on here... abc thank you
