Easter Flowers – Garden Flag

Lori's Cards and Creations


Hello all,

I am over on the Artesprix Blog with a new Artesprix Sublimation project featuring their Sublimtion ready Garden Flag. Get your spring vibes going by using a water color technique with the Hero Arts – Sweet As Honey stamp set to add color to stamped images. This project also demonstrates how to use a Reverse Image Word Stencil (created with my Cricut machine) to create a large word image that can be traced and colored in with Artexprix Sublimation Markers.

Check out the Mixed Media Quick Tips Video below for the step by steps.

Personalized Ribbon with Sublimation Ink

Lori's Cards and Creations

Hello all,

Lori here, with another Artesprix iron-on-ink project over on the Artesprix Blog. 

No need for tags this year when you can personalize the ribbon for each package using Artesprix Sublimation Ink Pads, Markers and Sublimation Ready Ribbon.  With a few simple steps and some repeat stamping, you can easily create personalized ribbon that will impress your friends and family. 

What is Sublimation Iron-on-Ink?

It is an interesting and fun product that allows you to create a design on standard copy paper that can then be heat transferred onto surfaces (must have polyester in it or have a polyester coating). Once the project is transferred to the blank, it is lifetime permanent. Before Artesprix, you would need a fancy printer to experience this level of personalization, but not anymore!

Artesprix supplies:

Sublimation Ink pad – Red, Green

Sublimation Marker – Black Fine

Ribbon

Heat tape

Heat press

Protective Paper

Stencil – Modern Alphabet

Other Supplies:

Computer Paper

Loris Cards and Creations Snowflake set

Quick Tips Mixed Media Video

I hope you enjoyed this Personalized Ribbon project and will give Artesprix Sublimation products a try for your next creation.  I love that I can personalize ribbon for my holiday gifts this year!  Making personalized ribbon will definitely cut down on the need for so many tags that tend to fall off packages and get lost under the tree. 

Happy Day!
