New 'Test It Tuesday' Facebook LIVE VIDEO Review Series!

10 Must Have Silhouette Accessories and Tools (You Didn't Know You Needed)

I'm often asked what are the best Silhouette tools and accessories to get started. I'm asked so often, it's on Silhouette School Blog's FAQ page.

New Silhouette Sketch Pens Review (2x the Ink, but 2x Better?)

The Silhouette Sketch Pens got an overhaul recently and were re-released with two times as much ink as the original pens.

I get asked quite a bit about why you could want to use Silhouette Sketch Pens rather than simply printing.

It's a fair question...and one that I often think about as I spend time laying out, fiddling with sketch fills, and then sketching a sketch pen design - when I could simply print it in a quarter of the time.

Silhouette CAMEO Light Tote Bag Review

When the new Silhouette CAMEO Light Tote bags were released a few months back, I immediately grabbed one.
