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 Acrylic Lightening Medium - White
Sublimation Stamp ink - Green, Black
Sublimation Stamp Ink Refill - Blue Green
Protective Project Mat 
Jewelry Pendant Blank
Heat tape
Protective paper 
Emerald Creek – Lori’s Cards and Creations, Inspired Background stamp
Split Key Ring with Chain
Craft Mat
Palette Knife
Computer Paper
Heat Press
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Step 1: Apply a layer of Acrylic Sublimation Lightening Medium onto a craft mat with a palette knife. 

Step 2: Add a few drops of Sublimation Blue and Green Stamp Refill Ink onto the layer of Lightening Medium. Spritz with water. 

Step 3: Drag palette knife over paint and ink mixture to blend.  

Step 4: Place a piece of copy paper into the wet paint/ink mixture and lift carefully. Allow to dry. 

Step 5: Randomly stamp Sublimation Stamps from Emerald Creek across paper using Green Sublimation Stamp Ink. 

Step 6: Stamp mini dragonfly design over background with Black Sublimation Stamp Ink.

Step 7: Remove metal white insert from Jewelry Pendant. Place Sublimation Pendant Blank onto inked paper, white side to design, and secure with heat tape.

Step 8: Make a "Sublimation Sandwich" by placing the prepared paper and blank between two pieces of protective paper.
Step 9: Heat set according to the specific blank specifications. These metal Jewelry Pendants call for 400℉ for 45 seconds.

Step 10: After heat set, conduct a "peek test" at the transfer and ensure it was successful (do not remove tape until transfer is confirmed).  Re-heat if needed.

Step 11: Remove paper to reveal the transfer.

Step 12: Use jewelry tools to attach Split Key Ring with Chain to the Sublimation Pendant.

Step 13: Attach the finished pendant blank onto jewelry base with adhesive provided. 

The nifty thing about the Artesprix Jewelry Pendant Blank is that you can use it to create a necklace, charm, or even a Key Chain like I did. So, I hope you will give Artesprix Sublimation products and blanks a try to create something wonderful! Grab your Jewelry Pendants before the month is over and we make room for August's Blank of the Month. 
Happy Day!
