Flower card with Chomas Creations engraving tip

There are a bunch of awesome sketches for download in the Silhouette Studio store which of course work great with the Chomas Creations adjustable holders.  But I thought to myself, wonder how these sketches would work with the Chomas Creations engraving tip in the Cameo.  See for yourself!  I used the pressure on 33, speed on 4 and double cut.  This was with Core'dinations kraft core cardstock.

Another proud mommy moment right here!  The taking off of the training wheels!  And look at her go (on her little bro's bike!)

First day of School with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

Aaah the count down has started!  In just 12 days my kids will be back to school and I will have more free time then I know what to do with (ok, not true, but wouldn't that be amazing??  Think of all the crafting we could get done hehe!). 
This is my kids' starting at a new school last year.  Pay no attention to the fact that I forgot to brush my son's hair! 
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder in the Cameo to draw the line background on this page.  I used a Chomas Creations light blue glitter mini gel pen with a speed of 7 and a pressure of 3.

The title, apple, scissors and pencil are all Studio downloads that I added to the page.

Here is the completed layout!  Pretty quick and simple, but I like it!

Birthday card with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

Birthday wishes with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

One of my favorite things to do with the Chomas Creations holders is to make my own journaling goodies!  Circles are always my fav!  You can make these journaling circles with Cricut Craft Room and the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holders!  Get the download using George for these here... journaling circles
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a Sakura Glaze gel pen to draw the lines for these.

 

Without removing your mat from the machine, take out your pen holder and add the blade.  Now cut your circles!

I just love using these for journaling so my writing is all lined up!

Here is the right side of my layout!  You can see the left side of this layout using the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder and a Copic Multi Liner to draw the title and color with Copics here...  left side

Birthday wishes with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

This is the first side of a 2 page layout I am working on!  Tomorrow I will have a share for Cricut Craft Room! 
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with a Copic Multi-liner (these are made by Copic to go with the Copic markers and they won't smear!) in the Cricut Expression 2.  As you can see height is no problem in the E2! 

After I drew my title from Birthday Bash I used Copic markers to color it in!  Just think of all your own stamps you could make to color!  (As you can see I need some work on my coloring skills hehe!)

Here is the finished page! The papers and canvas stickers are all Imaginesce.

hahaha with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

My youngest daughter found these awesome sunglasses for a steal at a garage sale (just $.25!)  She was so proud of her find we had to tell Gramma, hehe!  I wanted this page to be a lot of fun to go with the pictures, and what is more fun then embossing???
I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a stylus in the Cameo to emboss these patterns on metal sheets.  By having the metal sheets face color side down, then embossing, you can sand the raised image to get this look.

I used the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder with a Sharpie no bleed pen to draw the journaling lines in the bubbles.  These were a recent share for Studio that you can find here, along with directions...  journaling bubbles

The title is from the Silhouette Studio store.

Here is the completed page!  I cut a bunch of circles in Studio to add to the background along with my embossed metal circles.

Zebra card with Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder

Well it was time to experiment with the Zing again as I got some extra mats!  I added one of the Chomas Creations embossing mats to a Zing mat so I could work with some embossing!  My first experiment was on Core'dinations cardstock.  This cardstock has a color on one side and either black, brown or kraft on another.  So when you emboss on the white side of the one I chose, the black side is raised, and when you sand the white shows through.  I used a stylus in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder and set the force of the Zing to 160 and used a multi cut of 2.

When you sand the raised image this is what you get!  I have the zebra print for MTC for share here... zebra print

I added the thanks to the front of the card and it is done!

Ouch with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

My son Jack had a little run in with a tree on his bike (thank goodness for helmets!!!) and ended up with quite a bit of road rash!  This whole page is a bit of a scrap lift (something easy to do when you are in a rut!)  Someone else had stamped the thought bubbles, but I thought I would just cut them out instead.  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Zing with a Zig Ball pen.

I drew the "ouch" pattern and the title on a 12x12 sheet of kraft cardstock with MTC.  I have the file for share here for this page... ouch  The font is a Lettering Delights thin font called Typewriter.

I wanted to layer this page, and thought it would be a lot easier to use the negative space instead of all the thought bubbles to the page.  But of course I couldn't throw out all the thought bubbles, so I added journaling lines to them with the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder and a Pilot Precise V5 and can use them on another page!

I added some clouds to the top of the page, and used the same cloud pattern to add to the tree. 

Here is the completed page with my boo boo boy!

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.

Taylor with Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder

Look what made its way into my life this last week... It is a Zing!  Sandy of  I love KNK figured I needed one becaues she wants to see what I can do with it!  I have been playing with it with some of the Chomas Creations tools, and can I just say, WOW THAT IS SOME POWER!  First I tried it out on a metal 12x12 sheet I had big plans for with the Chomas Creations engraving tip, and this is what I got with it in the Zing!

I used these settings in the Zing:  force 160  speed 10 and multi-cut of 3-5 (didn't make enough of a difference to do 3, 4 or 5 so I will just stick with 3 next time)

Then I wanted to see what it would do on acrylic!  The settings are as listed.  The same meal sheet is behind the acrylic so that I could get a picture of it.

Of course I also had to test out the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder!  I did try one of the Papermate Flair pens in the Zing without a holder and as you can see it just can't get a good grip on the marker, it could wobble back and forth.  I'm using Sandy' suggestion of the 25 post it notes in a stack to measure the height of the marker here.

So I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder in the Zing for more support and it left no room for wobble! 

This is a harlequin pattern I made quite awhile ago for MTC.  You can get the file here...  harlequin background  I used the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with the Papermate Flair pen.  I used a force of 10 and a speed of 10 on the Zing.  After I drew the pattern I used the Copic markers in just a few of the diamond shapes to color them in.

The title was also cut with the Zing.  Smooth like butta!  (that is like butter hehe!)

I kept this page simple and just added some ribbon and a senior picture of my beautiful daughter!

There are so many different kinds of pens you can fit in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder for the Zing (this will center the pens in the holder).  Think glue pens and ball point pens and most gel pens, oh my!

Here is a Sakura Glaze gel pen in the Chomas Creations adjustable pen holder drawing with the Zing.

And if it doesn't fit in the adjustable pen holder there is always the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder!  It holds up to 1/2 inch in diameter and will give all markers the support you need!

Here is the Chomas Creations adjustable marker holder with an ultra fine point Pilot Precise V5 (you can see how smooth it drew the design, and super thin to!)
