![]() During my testing process I managed to completely destroy the tip of one of the Bic markers, luckily I was smart enough to do my practicing with an ugly color so it wasn’t much of a loss. I used Bic Markit markers for the text and a metallic felt tip pen for the outline on the yellow boxes. I do have the design file linked below if you want to make your own. The text was skinny enough on the green pieces to completely fill itself in but on the yellow pieces I had to go back and fill in a few spots with the marker. I used the font Courier New for the whole project I believe it’s one of the basic ones that comes on all computers. But it’s only paper so if you mess up it’s not hard to try again It was a little confusing making sure the correct outlines were selected. This design is set up to be drawn and cut on two colors of paper using 3 pen colors. There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to using different pens but thanks to a few youtube videos and some trial and error I was able to figure out this project with only one marker fatality! Speaking of neglected craft supplies, when my sketch pen holder for my Silhouette came in I decided to use it for the first time. Aka, I’ve been tripping over them for about a year. When I was looking around for something to turn inspirational I found a pile of stained wooden blocks sitting just inside the craft room door. It only seemed natural to turn it into a small sign. ![]() The phrase “There is always something to be thankful for” has been a great reminder lately. I like sappy signs, they make me happy and keep me focused when life sucks. ![]()
