Faux Calligraphy with your Cricut Maker + Pop Up Card

Hello Everyone!

Ever since I made our Christmas Cards I'm obsessed with gold ink calligraphy, but I'm always afraid I'm not going to be accurate enough to do a big one word sentiment on a card (I should practice more). This time I tried to create a single word sentiment and add several lines to the downward strokes to make it look like dip pen calligraphy. 

This bold sentiment was so stunning in gold and masculine enough that I decided to create an inside fun card to go with it.

Wanna Flower? - Coloring Drawing in SVG format

I purchased a couple of stamps a few days ago and looked for the matching dies which they don't have, so I asked the company if it was ok for me to make a cutting file for them and they said "NO".
I have to say thanks though, cause that inspired me to practice my drawing skills and come up with a line of drawings to write on the explore and color using my newly gifted COPIC markers; of course with an offset path to cut around the drawn shape.

Thanks to Mark Crilley's Youtube tutorials I learned a lot on Manga drawings and specially on the Chibi style (cutesy, big head, huge eyes characters).

So here she is, the first of all, Wanna flower? girl, perfect for Valentine's Day.

Pilot Choose Gel Pen Revisited: Fitting Uni-Ball Signo Metallic Gel Pens

I'm in love with the writing feature of the Explore, but the limited Provocraft Colors and ink types of their pens, sometimes is a disadvantage for certain projects.

On that word, a couple of months ago I posted a workaround for Pilot Choose White Gel Ink Pen, and last week, playing with  Uni-Ball Signo pens, I accidentally realized refills are the same.

So, if you are lucky enough to find a White Pilot Choose pen on Amazon (they go out of stock quick) here's a way to adapt Uni-Ball Signo pens using the Pilot Choose case.

Glitzy In summer!!

Living in the bottom half of the planet does not give you an idea of what a white christmas is. It's hard to think about snow when it is  40°C outside.
