Rainbow Feather Bookmark with Artesprix

Hello Crafty Friends -  Annie here - I am so honored to be asked to Guest Design for Artesprix. I created this fun rainbow feather bookmark.


Cricut Mini Heat Press Machine
Jot Brand Stencil: Feathers
Darice Brand Stenci: Stars
Copy Paper
Pencil 
This is how easy it is to create with Artesprix Sublimation Markers, Inks pads and Blanks. 

Step 1: I started by tracing theArtesprix Sublimation Blank: Bookmarks 4ct. onto the copy paper using a pencil. Next, I traced my image into copy paper using my pencil.


Step 2: I then used the Artesprix Sublimation Markers: Basic Fine Point 10ct. to color my images. 

Step 3: I set my mini heat press to temperature. While I waited for to press to be ready I placed Artesprix Sublimation Blank: Bookmarks 4ct. the onto the colored images aligning the bookmark traced outline. Then, I used the Artesprix Heat Tape to hold the tag in place so that my image wouldn't shift. 


Next, I created my heat sandwich which means I used 
Artesprix Protective Project Paper  layer on the bottom, project, then another layer of Artesprix Protective Project Paper on top. Then, I placed my sandwich onto Artesprix Protective Project Mat. I then heat set my images using the heat press for 45 seconds. I gently press - not moving from side to side that way I would insure not to create any ghost imaging.

When, the 43 seconds were done I removed my copy paper and the images was transferred onto the Artesprix Sublimation Blank: Bookmarks 4ct


Step 4: The bookmark is now complete! 
 Artesprix Sublimation Markers and Blanks made this a quick and easy to make.
 I hope that you will give it a try. 
Showing another one I made using stars following the same steps as above. For the white stars I used the Gray marker.

Just For You Card with Brutus Monroe

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am  here with a fun Easter themed card featuring the Inspiration Box stamp set called Sophisticated Spring. 



Supplies Used:
 Layering Cardstock: Pink 
Inks: Light Pink, Medium Pink, Turquoise, 
Light Green and Medium Green
Offray Ribbon: White

This card came together rather quickly. 

I started by inking panels (4.25"x5.5") of 
inks. I did about a half of the panels in each color.

Brutus Monroe: Raven Detail Ink and stamped the Lilies, a few leaves and one Egg. I fussy cut them out.

Next, I trimmed a panel from one of the papers of Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x6 Paper Collection - for my background. I trimmed another piece of Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x6 Paper Collection (about 2-1/4")
along with a piece of pink cardstock(about 3/4"). I also cut some scallops from the 
Brutus Monroe: Not Your Mama's Cardstock and I trimmed a small 1" piece for the sentiment. 

 Then, I adhered them to my card base creating layers. I also adhered the white ribbon to the center of the pink cardstock. Next, I adhered the lilies and leaves directly to the card front above the pink pattern paper I did use a bit of thin foam adhesive for a few areas to create dimension . I used foam adhesive for the egg and centered it between the lilies. Next, I stamped the sentiment onto the cardstock piece, trimmed it into a fishtail banner and adhered it to the right hand bottom of the pink pattern paper. Now, for finishing touches I used the Brutus Monroe: Acrylic Bubbles: Blush
