Image
 Hello and welcome to 2022!  My blog is officially 1 year old!  I am so excited to still be interested in blogging my craft ideas and my new craft adventures. Today we are talking about sublimating tumblers.  I have sublimated many things at this point including coffee mugs, keychains, washcloths, pillowcases, car coasters, coozies, mousepads, puzzles among other things. I heard you could use a convection oven to sublimate tumblers and I really got excited and got to work! Supplies you need: Sublimation printer I use the Epson Eco-Tank ET-2720 loaded with special sublimation ink (previous blog) Found mine at Best Buy for around 200 Sublimation paper I use Asub sublimation paper a 20 ounce tumbler would require at minimum 8.5x11 Amazon A computer system that allows you to modify images. I have Silhouette Studio I use with my Cameo (the software is free) Cricut design space will not allow you to print the size of image you need Canva is a good one too Heat tape Clear high temp heat tape

Come Craft With Me! Annie's Cardmaker Kit of the Month Club

 Have you thought about joining Annie's card of the month club but wasn't sure? I am going to unbox and make my first card kit of the month with you. First, the package came fast.  I had it within a week!  I had a promo code so I was able to purchase the first kit for around 11.00 shipping included.  It came in this cute envelope decorated in craft supplies. This is the packet! I opened the envelope and pulled this out.  It looks like it has quite a few things inside. An instruction booklet. 8.5x11 papers a bunch of die cuts Envelopes/Tri Fold cards that measure a finished size of 2.5x4.25 inches.  Smaller than I would like, I'm more of a standard A2 card girl. A nice sized stamp set with ink, bakers twine, some ribbon, brads, and some gems. If you are new to crafting there are  few things you need in order to use this kit. Additional Supplies needed: Scissors or paper cutter I would suggest a paper cutter, they usually have a ruler on them and are great for making cards Ta
