Hello all, Design Team Member Lori here, posting a new project featuring Artexprix Sublimation Stamp Ink, Markers, Refill Ink and a Door Hanger Sublimation Blank. Why is Sublimation in my heart? Let me count the ways. One, Iron-on-Ink is so easy create with. Two, rich vibrant transfer every time. Three, consistent project results I can count on. All of these reasons result in endless ideas. Check out instructions and/or Quick Tip Mixed Media video below to see how I personalized this Sublimation Door Hanger.

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!
Supplies:
Sublimation Stamp Refill Ink – Red, Yellow, Orange
TCW, Carmen Medlin Stencil, TCW841
Removable Tape
Palette Knife
Computer Paper
Heat Source
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Step 1: Drop Red, Orange and Yellow Sublimation Refill Ink onto a craft mat or any non-porous surface.
Step 2: Swipe a palette knife across ink drops to spread ink across craft mat.
Step 3: Transfer ink by pressing a plain piece of copy down over the ink swipe. Lift and allow to dry.
Step 4: Select a stencil with a phrase you like and place stencil backwards onto paper. Secure with removable tape.
Step 5: Create mirrored text for your transfer by using a blending tool to apply Black Sublimation Stamp Ink.
Pro Tip: Clean up stenciled edges with a Black Sublimation Marker.
Step 6: Place Door Hanger onto the inked paper and secure with heat tape.
Step 7: Make a "Sublimation Sandwich" by placing the secured project between two pieces of protective paper.
Step 8: Heat set using appropriate settings for the blank. Door Hangers call for 90 seconds at 400℉.
Step 9: After heat set, take-a-peek at the transfer to ensure it was successful. It is important that tape is not removed out of place until transfer is confirmed. This allows you to re-heat if needed.
Step 10: Once you have confirmed your transfer was successful, remove paper to reveal your permanent project!
