I’m over on the Artesprix blog with a new Sublimation project using Artesprix Iron On Inks and Inkpads.
What is Sublimation ink (iron on ink/paint)? 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 sublimation ready surfaces. The whole process is really magical!
We are now thoroughly into fall in my neck of the woods and I thought a “Happy Fall” Decorative Sign would be the perfect addition to my fall decorations. And can I just say…I love this sublimation ready Decorative Sign by Artesprix. I think I will be making a sublimation Decorative Sign for each and every holiday!
Other Products: Computer Paper Heat Press Lori’s Cards and Creations Stamp set – Winter/Fall Swirls, Happy Fall.

I am testing out the prototype of my new Sublimation Stamped Words set and created this fun Tumbler and Coaster. The Sublimation Word set (that I hope to have in production soon) is a set of my favorite phrases and words from the Be You and Winter stamp lines. I loved that I was able to stamp these faves’ directly onto my sublimation project without having to do any fancy dancing to get the image reversed. Awesome!
If you would like to create this project you can still use the Dragonfly and words from the Be You set, you will just need to use your typical method of reversing the word images for the sublimation transfer.
There has been a change in where you can fine my “Be You” stamp line that is being produced and distributed by Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. It is no longer directly available from the Emerald Creek website and will soon be sold by specific retailers. So, keep post for more information.
I hope you have enjoyed this project! If you are interested in any of these products, it would be super helpful (and much appreciated) if you would use the affiliate links within this blog to be directed to the suppliers. Just click on any of the product to be redirected.
Hope you all have a great week!
Happy day!

COMPANIES THAT I AM AFFILIATED WITH AND/OR DESIGN FOR MAY HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH SOME PRODUCT TO CREATE THIS PROJECT. THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE SOLELY MY OWN.
This project idea was inspired by a Youtube video by Caroline, “My Home of the Hillside”. In her video, Caroline created 3 Shabby Chic projects featuring Rosette Roses hand-made from strips of scrap fabric. Well, I just had to try making these beautiful trash to treasure roses! And with that, came my Shabby Chic framed Dragonfly project. This creation features an upcycled old frame and other reuse and repurposed materials.
I hope you enjoyed this project and will check out Caroline’s video and Youtube page! The Rosette Roses are really fun to make and are a great way to use up old fabric scraps. Tune in for more project using upcycled, reuse, and repurposed elements.
Happy day,

I love the holiday season and all of the crafty projects that I like to immerse myself in. I start in October and run crazy through December 25th. After that, though, I am ready to move on. The jingle bells and glitter are put away for another year and I break out my mixed media stash.
As a warm up to bigger and better mixed media projects, I created this 6″x8″ mixed media art piece on a flat panel canvas. I didn’t really have a solid direction, was just enjoying the whole process. Hence, the title for the piece below is “No Direction”.
A little collage, a little assemblage, a little steampunk and lots of paint. Yes, it is a familiar and happy place! Now I need to start thinking about what I am going to create for the Utah Arts Festival, Unmasked event!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Now lets move our craftsy selves onto the next project!
