Sublimation Ink, Hand-stamped tote

Hello all,

One of the products that really caught my eye this year at Creativation was the sublimation products by artesprix. This Iron-on-Ink is so cool and will heat set onto polyester products (like totes, cups etc…). I located a polyester tote at my local craft store and thought that would be a perfect substrate to start on. Check out the Quick Tips Mixed Media Video below for the step by steps.

Materials:

Lori’s Cards & Creations – Art Nouveau Butterfly, Be You Collage Script

TCW stencil TCW5005

Artesprix Sublimation Markers & Inkpad

Imagine Reusable Polyester Tote

Oprol Heat Press

I am so excited about this products, the creative possibilities are endless! I can’t wait to find more substrates to try this out on.

Happy day!

How to make a textured, rustic sign with TCW Stencils

Hello all,

I am over on the The Crafter’s Workshop Blog today with a Home Decor piece featuring the “Coffee Bar” Home Decor stencil.  Lately, I have been inspired by photos of rusty old cars, trucks, and metal pieces.  All of the lovely layers of paint, rust and texture on these old, decrepit items are so cool!  The Coffee Bar sign below is my interpretation of this beautiful rustic color and texture.

A Pumpkin of a Different Color

Hello all,

I am starting to come around to the fact that summer is fading and I must face the coming of fall and soon to be winter.  I always mourn the loss of our sunshine filled days and pleasant summer heat each year.   So, time to pull out the warm sweaters and sweat shirts, long pants and warm socks…’tis the season.

The one thing that I do appreciate about the fall  is the color; the many shades of yellow and orange that splash across the trees are just lovely to see.  The fall project below however,  was made using a non-traditional color scheme.  While browsing the craft store this morning I found fall florals in these beautiful shades of blue and green.  These colors, paired with a white pumpkin, made for an interesting take on a fall project.

Check out the video below for how to you can use your stencils on really bumpy substrates like this pumpkin.

I hope that you have enjoyed this project and will try this “stencil on tissue” method that will stretch the use of your favorite stencils.

Bring on the fall…

Happy day!

Life’s a Mystery; The Crafter’s Workshop

Hello all,

I am exited to be sharing my first project with you all as part of The Crafter’s Workshop Design Team.  For this first post,  I have created a Mixed Media project with Acrylic Paint and stenciling on a 8″ x 8″ flat panel canvas.

The Mystical Tree stencil is so pretty and I thought it would fit well with a misty and moody background.  At least, that is what I was going for!  lol
