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:

Happy Day!
