Happy {giveaway} Thursday! I am so excited to tell you about NEW product for your Silhouette or Cricut….the Chomas Creations Adjustable Pen Holder! This little holder holds a pen where the blade is on your Silhouette or Cricut so that you can draw ,instead of cut, with your digital cutting tool. Hello, awesomeness! {they also make an Adjustable Marker Holder as well.}
I made these adorable Halloween Candy Toppers using my CAMEO and the Chomas Creations Adjustable Marker Holder!
Halloween Candy Toppers made with the Adjustable Marker Holder
It was fun to have my CAMEO drawing for a change!
These brilliant little pen and marker holders are made by Amy and Jamie, a husband and wife team here in the USA! Yep, nifty little holders are MADE IN THE USA! Love that! And I love supporting small businesses, especially when they offer a creative new product like this. This holder makes it so that you aren’t limited to the sketch pens that is made by Silhouette. You can use pretty much any marker or pen you want with your digital cutting tool!
Adjustable Marker Holder
I used a fine tip Sharpie in my Silhouette. How freaking awesome is that?? Thanks to the Adjustable Marker Holder! {its the metal cylinder shaped things with a black screw coming out}
How to Use the Adjustable Marker Holder
- To insert the adjustable marker or pen holder, remove the blade from its casing.
- Then inert the metal Adjustable Holder with the ring side on top. Flip the blue switch on the CAMEO so that the blade holder is holding the adjustable pen holder in place.
- Slide the popsicle stick under the holder {as shown above}
- Then insert marker/pen into the metal holder and twist the screw tight. {make sure it is really snug. I made that mistake!}
- When you are ready to have you CAMEO draw, use the “Sketch Pen” setting in the Silhouette Studio Software.
Easy Candy Topper
I used a Fine tip black Sharpie and the Adjustable Marker Holder in my Silhouette CAMEO to draw the design. Then without unloading or removing the paper, I changed out the marker holder and put the blade in. I changed the cut settings in Silhouette Studio and then cut a rectangle around the oval design. After it was cut, I folded it in half and stapled it over a small plastic bag of candy.

Is there any other choice than using sharpies with the Silhouette Cameo?
Oh yes! Anything smaller then 1/2 inch will fit in the adjustable marker holder and anything smaller then 3/8 inch will fit in the adjustable pen holder.
Here is a link on my blog with just a few of the markers and pens I have found that work. http://amychomas.blogspot.com/p/tools-for-silhouette-cameo-wishblade.html

I’m ecstatic to have found your blog. I ordered a Bosskut Gazelle and a Silhouette Cameo to text out and keep which one I loved better, and the Cameo won hands down. This tool means I can use my extensive collection of Sharpies (I’m one of those people who is slightly addicted to the smell, lol) with my new Cameo.
I’m new to the world of blogging, and just started my own blog. I have a feeling I’ll be linking back quite a lot to your blog with some of your awesome projects – love the headbord “renovation”!
Thanks Sarah! I’m so glad you stopped by and entered the giveaway! Good luck with your new blog!
happy crafting,
Linda
