I am attending Creativation 2023 – learn all about it and how you can follow along. #creativation23 @namta #namta #tradeshow
I am heading to Creativation this week! Here is a little history first. About a year or so ago, Namta and AFCI merged together making one organization – Namta. They took on the trade show name Creativation that was used by AFCI.
Namta is The Association of the art/creative materials industry members. Namta was originally more fine art focused in my opinion whereas AFCI was more craft-focused. I was originally a member of AFCI and am now currently a member of Namta as a content creator.
Namta members are retail sellers, supplier manufacturers, distributors and importers, and independent representatives of art materials products. Creativation is Namta’s yearly trade show. It isn’t open to the public. That is where I come in. I will be sharing all things Creativation on my social channels so you can come along with me to the show.
About the Show:
There are five jam-packed days of Creativation. The show starts with two days of education classes, which I will be attending. And then, three days of the trade show floor, where I will be demoing and attending.
After the first day of classes, I am hosting a dinner gathering for my designer friends. We get together to chat and share a meal. I have collected items for a sway bag from manufacturers. A special thanks to all that donated.

Learn how to create texture while using packing paper. #cardmaking #crafttutorial
There are many materials around you that can be used for crafting. I recently bought a glass item that came wrapped in brown packing paper. Before throwing it away, I thought I could use it for crafting. I used a stamp pad to enhance the wrinkles for a textural background.
After inking the paper, I coordinated cardstock, a colored envelope, and a sentiment I had in my stash that was made with washi tape.
If you would like to learn how to make the washi tape words, that tutorial can be found here: [washi words]

If you struggle to make bows, you are going to enjoy this post. I am sharing with you a template for easy bow. making. The templates can be cut using my free SVG file or cut by hand. They both work equally well and are simple to make.

Making The Templates
I used a Cricut Maker to cut the bow templates from a cereal box. To make the templates sturdier, I cut two of each size.
The cutout templates are ready to be taped together. I used double-sided tape between the two pieces.
Making the Bows
I used a variety of different spring colors and sizes of ribbons from Gwen Studios.
It is easier to show how to make a bow than to explain it. Please watch the video tutorial for the easy way to make bows using the templates. These templates can make single, double, and triple bows. You can also combine different colors together.
