Silhouette Sketching on Mixed Media Paper + Print & Cut FAIL Retest | Creativation 2026 Demo

I attended the Creativation 2026 Tradeshow hosted by NAMTA and demoed in 2 booths on the trade show floor – the Pointer USA booth and the Glassboard Studio booth. This is my 3rd year attending this event and each year I learn even more! I love being able to share what I do and how I use products to create with. Creativation is a members only event for Retailers, Vendors, and Creative Professionals. But that doesn’t mean I cannot share the demos I did with you too! A new video sharing the sketching with Silhouette demo I did in the Pointer USA booth, supply list for the demos shown, and additional resources can be found below.

Whether you love mixed media art, watercolor techniques, cardmaking, journaling, print and cut projects, or sketching with your Silhouette machine, this demo is packed with creative inspiration and real-world testing!

Did you know I have classes too?
One of my most popular classes has been the Silhouette Sketch Pens & Sketch Pen Design Class – find that HERE.

When I first pitched this class to teach at an event a few years ago, I wasn’t sure how it would go over. I was shocked when it sold out within the first hour of the event registration opening. Sketching is so fun with the Silhouette and can give you a completely different look to your projects. Or just be fun to mess around with too!
