CHA Mega Show | Silhouette America [+ a Promo too!]

Since I love my Portrait machine so much I'm always excited to see what Silhouette has new in their booth at CHA. Once again this time I wasn't disappointed - the company had some really exciting new media that I can't wait to try playing with!

Silhouette Vellum

Vellum is really hot right now in paper crafting, and now there is vellum created just for cutting with Silhouette machines! There is also self-adhesive corrugated paper, great for creating die-cut textured shapes (like hearts and arrows) that are also popular at the moment.

Silhouette Washi Sheets

Silhouette-Washi

This one really grabbed my attention - self-adhesive washi sheets, with 3 different strips of 4x12 design on each 12x12 sheet (just cut apart to use with the Portrait machine). I've been wanting to try cutting washi sheets with my machine. There's some really cute designs here in some very trendy colors. I can't wait to pair them with some of my favorite cut files for making cards and pocket scrapbooking elements.

Silhouette Light Hold Mat

One thing I've been needing to have is a mat that has a lower tack to it (essential for working with delicate materials), and now Silhouette has made one. The new Light Hold mats are available for both the 12" and 8" cutting width machines.

Pictured with the mats is another one of the new cutting media: stencil material! There are lots of great background designs in the Silhouette store, and now with the stencil material (which comes in 12x24 inch rolls) they can be used not only as a paper element but as templates, too.

Silhouette Sketch Pens

The Sketch Pens aren't new, but they are available now in a new color selection: black and white.

Silhouette Connect

The new Silhouette Connect plug-in is for users of Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw, allowing them to cut direct from their machine instead of having to go through the Silhouette software with their files first.

The company is also launching some additional new items that were just announced: totes! There are two totes, one for each of the current models of machine. The tote for the Silhouette Cameo machine has additional room for toting your laptop, cords and a few scrap supplies with you.

The tote for the Silhouette Portrait is in a really hot shade of turquoise. Love the kicky chevrons! The color and design of the totes match the personality of the machines, I think.
