Cri-kit Gel Pen Blog Hop – Barn Framed Drawing

Hi there!  Welcome to the Cri-Kits Gel Pen and Joy’s Life stamps blog hop!  In this video, I use the Cri-Kits Gel Pens along with Lettering Delights Rustic Sketches and the Sizzix Eclips to create a great sketch.  The pens are great for making simple but detailed home decor.

TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY

Be sure to leave a comment about how you’d create with the Cri-Kits gel pens to be entered for a chance to win a pack of Cri-Kits Gel Pens and the winners choice of either a Cricut or Sizzix Eclips gel pen holder.  I’ll announce the winner on this post on September 1.  Good luck!

AND THE WINNER IS:

    1. Doug,
      It’s fantastic to hear from you! I think that your sketches are terrific. You’ve provided the ability for so many people to have great art that is not only beautiful but dynamic and fluid in the way that it can be drawn and used. I say, “THANK YOU!!” And…your art is framed and on my mantel. I love it!

    Cards, layouts for my grands’ albums, pictures – those are some of the ideas/places I could use those! I would chose the Cricut ones as I don’t have the Eclips. You are so creative! Your tutorials are so fun and informative! Thanks for doing it!!

  38. These look amazing! I’m a bit confused as to how you got the barn print to work in the machine? I have the Cricut. You mentioned you could use the Critcut instead, but how? I thought I could only use Cricut cartridges on their machine and their software…… confused but really liking what it does!!!

    1. Hi Melanie,
      You can use the Cri-Kit gel pens in a Cricut but unfortunately can’t use the Lettering Delights file with the Cricut machine. I hope that helps!
      ~Joy~

  39. The barn is awesome. I would use them on cards and other projects. Love your site. Would love to try these pens.

  40. Hi there it been awhile since I have let any comments…..I still visit from time to time….I am always amazed your projects are always so neat! I wanted to know how you feel about the Sizzix Eclips …..I thinking about buying one…how easy is it to use with svg files? and have you tried it with the Tim Holtz stamps where you can cut out what you have stamped?……I have the Cricut …but as you know you are limited to what you are allowed to cut…with out spending a fortune on cartridges! Any imput would be helpful…Thank you in advance Suzy-Q

  41. Ok I was able to see your videos on youtube about eclips…I have made up my mind…will be getting this machine…here soon! thanks again for the great videos and projects!
