Merry Christmas Gnomies Card with Die Cut Divas

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with this month's Die Cut Divas Challenge card.

Our sponsor is this month is Kat Scrappiness, and they are offering a Kat Scrappiness gift package worth $100!  Unfortunately, due to high shipping cost, this prize could only be awarded to a winner (randomly selected) with a valid U.S. address.


Our challenge theme for November is: All About the Holidays
(Any Holidays).

This is the card I created featuring the Christmas Gnomes Stamp Set. I went almost non-traditional colors. I added a bit of pink and a brighter green. I used a bit of my older stash with My Mind's Eye Christmas collection. I thought the trees pattern paper was perfect for this adorable gnome tangled in lights and ornaments.

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.
