Hello all,

Oh my Gosh, NAMTA Creativation was wonderful. I am so happy that I was able to be in attendance this year. One of the coolest new products that was featured at this year’s show was artesprix’s Sublimation Acrylic Paints and new colors of Stamp pads! I was already in love with the artesprix Sumblimation markers and the black stamp pad that has been on the market, these new products just expanded the creative options for sublimation to a whole new level! Below is a trio of sublimation goodness featuring the Sublimation Acrylic Paints. Be sure to also check out the Quick Tips Mixed Media Video below for the step by steps!

Shabby Chic framed Dragonfly – Inspired by…

Lori's Cards and Creations

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.

Be sure to watch Caroline’s video on how to make these Rosette Roses as well as my Quick Tips Mixed Media video below for the step by steps on my project.

Dew Drop Shamrock

Lori's Cards and Creations

Hello all,

Back again with another project using Dew Drops by The Robin’s Nest Creative. For this project, I am adding on to my last blog (Heart Ornament with Easel, featuring Dew Drops) by creating another Dew Drop Ornament. In that project I created an easel to hang seasonal ornaments from. So, being that it is nearly St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I would create a little Shamrock of Dew Drops to hang on my easel (check instagram for photo on the Easel mentioned above).

Be sure to scope out the Mixed Media Quick Tips Video below for the step by steps.

Be You: Art Journal Cover

Lori's Cards and Creations

Hello all,

Back again with a new Sublimation Ink project. I have had a Prima Marketing Inc. Mixed Media Journal cover left over from another project (that I completed quite some time ago) and I thought I would see how this product took to sublimation. Unfortunately, it does not look like Prima Marketing still carries these covers. However, I found something similar on Amazon: Prima Marketing Resist Canvas Mixed Media Album Covers. I’m sad that these covers are no longer available because they worked great as a substrate for sublimation ink.

This project also features my “Be You” stamp line that is being produced and distributed by Emerald Creek Craft Supplies.

For step by steps, please check out the Quick Tips Mixed Media Video below.

After holiday creating

Lori's Cards and Creations

Hello all,

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!

Happy day!

Artesprix Guest Designer – Bag Tag

Lori's Cards and Creations

Hello all,

Today I am a Guest Designer over on the Artesprix with a blog with a great bag tag project using Artesprix “Iron on Ink”. 

What is Sublimation ink (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 with polyester in them or with a polyester coating.  How fun is that?`

For this bag tag project, I wanted to create a soft dreamy watercolor effect in the background.. After some experimentation, I found that using a piece of acetate to apply and work the color prior to transferring the ink to paper was the key to making this technique work.  Step by steps are included below as well as a Quick Tips Video walking you through this process.

Materials:

Artesprix Products:

Protective Project Mat

Sublimation Ink Pad – Black

Sublimation Stamp Ink Refill

Bag Tags – Maple, Metal

Protective Paper

Heat Tape

Stamps – Hand Letter Basics

Sublimation Markers – Black, Original, Pastel, Gnomie

Other Products:

Grafix – Acetate

Computer Paper

Oprol – Heat Plate

Tonic Studios – Tim Holtz, Stamp Platform

Lori’s Cards and Creations – Background Script, Sketchy Flower, Charka, Tall Snowman, Snowflakes

Instructions:

Quik Tips Mixed Media Video

I hope you enjoyed this project and will give Artesprix Sublimation products a try.  Project options are endless and will allow for hours of creative fun!

Happy Day!
