STEP 1: If your frame is unfinished like mine was, paint it with two coats of acrylic paint and let it dry completely. If you purchased a colored frame you like, congratulations on saving yourself a {messy} step!
STEP 2: Choose a color for your sketch and place the pen into your machine where the blade normally goes. Create your design {this chevron was one of the 10 free design downloads that comes with the pen pack} in Silhouette Studio, and make sure you indicate that you are using a pen rather than the blade in the settings section. Have your machine draw the design onto cardstock!
Note: This photo is from another sketch pen project where I was sketching on black paper with a white pen, but it shows you the basic idea! During this particular project, I was too busy keeping LC from practically jumping inside the machine to see what “Cammie” was doing to take photos!
STEP 3: Cut your cardstock to fit into your frame.
STEP 4: Choose or create a saying and cut it out using adhesive vinyl. I used transfer tape to lift the cut portion off the vinyl sheet.
STEP 5: Adhere your saying to the cardstock. Since I used my transfer paper, I was able to keep the letters together and straight, just the way Cammie cut them out!

Lovely. Just goes to show that you don’t have to spend a fortune on children to make them happy and smile.
