Sketch Pens!! and Silhouette Promo

By

Sharing is caring!

It’s time again for a Silhouette Promotion (wahoo!) and this time it includes SKETCH PENS!!
(it’s still Take-A-Look Tuesday – just scroll down a post for that)

If you don’t have a machine yet, you can get the bundle with the Cameo for $269.99 or with the Portrait for $139.99.  Maybe Happy Mother’s Day to yourself??

AND if you DO have a machine, you can get the Sketch Pen Starter Kit, with 10 free downloads, for only $12.99!  The downloads alone are worth $10, and then you add in 24 sketch pens – that’s a deal!

The deal is on a special page within the Silhouette Store, and you’ll need to use the promo code “SUGARBEE” to get the special pricing – here is that page:  Sketch Pen Deals

A couple of things I made…

Silhouette Cameo Sketch Pens Printable

 
Let me tell you about the projects…
First, check out these colors – so many possibilities in that little box!

including a card containing FREE sketch designs:
For the quote, I played around with various “sketch” settings on the different lines of text.  I think you need the Designer Software to use the feature that turns regular things into “sketchy”.   I love that the Silhouette uses fonts that are already on your computer – so easy that way.  Then when you go to “cut” it – which really means “cut with a pen” which means “sketch” since it’s a pen and not a blade – you’ll want to use your cutting menu to turn on only the line you want sketched and turn everything else off.  This is how I sketched in multiple colors.
So you sketch the selected text, then  – WITHOUT UNLOADING THE PAPER – turn that line of text to “no cut” and turn on your next color to “cut” and repeat for how many colors you have.  
Look how awesome sketching is – – you can see it drawn in, almost etched, and the ink is so vibrant:
I then switched to my blade and cut out a border design, then carefully peeled everything off my mat:
I love how the sketch pens give you the opportunity to create printables, etc that are 12inches wide – – you can’t run 12×12 scrapbook paper through your home printer, but you CAN load it into your silhouette.  I cut the design so it would show fun paper through the openings – I ended up with the orange, but almost went gray polka dot.

The other project I did was an Ancestry Chart.  I got the file from Homemade by Jill – so be sure to check out her post if you’re interested in that.  I just loaded in the file and selected “Sketch Pen” from the cutting settings and let the machine do it’s work!

So cool to watch it draw:

I also inserted the family name into the middle of the chart – again, I think my FAVORITE feature of the Silhouette is that it used fonts from your computer.

My mom’s birthday gift – – turns out I was using a non-updated list of ancestors, so I have more chart-filling-in ahead of me…

    Hi Mandy! Do you happen to still have the ancestry chart file? Homemade by Jill isn’t an active blog anymore. 🙁
