Pen holders....again!

I am in absolute love! Seriously, I am. After I realized that I was using the marker holder, I ordered the REAL Silhouette Cameo pen holder from Amy Chomas. Her great service had it in my hands in a couple of days and it has been happily playing with my Zing ever since. This is what we did today:

 Cardmaps #20

 Lettering Delights Thin Fonts: Eesome

Lettering Delights Thin Font Doodles set 1 Flowerpower

Digital paper: Lettering Delights Dandelions

Glaze Pens

Ribbon

Assorted Glues

Home printer

Make the Cut software (or similar) for print and cut

Here is how I was able to achieve perfect results with the Silhouette Cameo
pen holder and my sweet ZaraZing:

Tips for using pens with Zing and MTC: 

Familiarize yourself with this tool (in MTC)

Hidden behind this icon is the "thin path" feature. It will create

single lines from most (not all) double line items. I used this feature

for the crosshatching; beginning with the lattice feature.

Consider the look different inks give. 

Glaze pens leave a shiny, raised finish on the paper. I just love the texture! 

But, they are slow to dry, so it is necessary to move the 

small white rings on the Zing so that the ink does not smear.

Create the "Shims" in different sizes! I keep a bunch on 

hand and then I don't have to stop and remake them when

ZaraZing and Pen holder want to play!

Most of all, have fun! My pen holder has given me a whole new way of embellishing. I love it and I think you will, too!
