Hello my sublimation friends, Designer Lori here. It’s time to get artsy with the Blank of the Month for February 2023. This project features the Artesprix Sequin Cosmetic Case and Sublimation Acrylic Paint. Let me tell you, this Sequin Zip Case is delightful! The two-color reversible sequins on the front of the cosmetic case will appear and then disappear as you slide your hand across the case. Combine that with a layered abstract art design and you have created true magic!

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!
Step 2: Mix your paint in accordance of what colors you want to use using the Color Mixing Chart. Brayer a thin layer of Sublimation Acrylic Paint to a Gel Printing Plate.
Step 3: Once your first layer is dry, brayer the gel plate with additional layers Sublimation Acrylic Paint.
Step 4: Place a stencil over the gel plate and brayer a 3rd color of Sublimation Acrylic Paint.
Step 5: To create your transfer, place a piece of copy paper onto the gel mat, press paper firmly onto the gel plate. Peel up paper form gel mat to reveal the print design.
Step 6: Stamp “ART” onto the paper using the Sublimation Block Letter Alphabet Stamp set and Sublimation Black ink pad. Pro Tip: To create a different look with a white edge, I trimmed edges of the print image with deckled scissors.
Step 7: Make sure all the sequins are turned to white side and place the design on top. Secure with heat tape.
Step 8: Make a Sublimation Sandwich by placing the Sequin Zip Case between two pieces of protective paper that are larger than your blank.
Pro Tip #2: To compensate for the bulk of the zipper, use pressing foam under the project while you transfer, or leave the zipper just outside of the press. Step 9: Heat set using appropriate settings for the material. This Sequin Zip Case calls for a transfer time of 45 seconds at 380℉.
Step 10: After heat set, take-a-peek at the design to ensure transfer was successful, but try not remove tape until transfer confirmed, this way you re-heat if necessary.
Step 11: Remove paper to reveal the transferred design!
Look at the before and after! That is the magic of sublimation and Artesprix.
