Never a pen! Pencil will not transfer onto the blank, but a pen will.</p><p>Step 2 : stamp your design on the copy paper using clear acrylic stamp and Sublimation Ink Pad. Remember- the color of the ink changes dramatically when it is heated!</p><p>Step 3 : I used a marker and colored over the stamped image to fill the entire outlined space. </p><p>Step 4 : place the blank face down onto the design and secure with heat resistant tape. NOTE: this blank has a protective top sheet that must be removed prior to pressing. Don't be like me and forget that step the first time!<br /></p><p>Step 5 : (not shown) make a "sandwich" with the protective paper enclosing the blank inside, with the copy paper UP. </p><p>Heat press - for the wine stopper it is 385° for 45 seconds. Carefully remove from protective paper and peel one side of the copy paper back to make sure everything looks great before removing it completely. </p><p>Ta-da! You have a beautiful sublimated blank. Add to the actual wine stopper using the double sided adhesive already in place, just remove the paper covering and press the sublimated blank into place. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCxvT-9mJm8-wO9pRoM0m_iiuuwVNi1U4mUOajocczW30ssCQsM20KpCdiRIXQBdbniWkT6kbvhjuygrKSAN4jbnmc4BC3K0wRm4owYqPJrpP6u-F4-QH_KfEwZ8MA5D-chdPDyGaBkVrRKfxpXDNRm98cXp3Th-rotqN6a4B1wHA9TBWfLErkdEc1bkPy/s600/Sublimation%20Stamp%20Pads%20Wine%20Stopper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="DIY Sublimation Wine Stopper" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCxvT-9mJm8-wO9pRoM0m_iiuuwVNi1U4mUOajocczW30ssCQsM20KpCdiRIXQBdbniWkT6kbvhjuygrKSAN4jbnmc4BC3K0wRm4owYqPJrpP6u-F4-QH_KfEwZ8MA5D-chdPDyGaBkVrRKfxpXDNRm98cXp3Th-rotqN6a4B1wHA9TBWfLErkdEc1bkPy/s16000/Sublimation%20Stamp%20Pads%20Wine%20Stopper.jpg" title="Sublimation is the perfect way to add your own custom touch to gifts like this wine stopper from Artesprix." /></a></div><br /> Look how adorable this is!

She has a very large porch on her victorian home. She spends a lot of time porch sitting and relaxing. I hope she loves this spring floral hoop. She gets a nice breeze blowing across the porch so I think this will be perfect. <p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih2fTipy-NxNj0mZC_l3ul7VBQohgYSUIjeorLypxWTmKHn1JdMzVDDDQwxDOaaFZB9BlnQhxaO6zAxveA4789IxUOxx0VUSzdpe99SJyDyjwin7vTr4szR03WmVdTjlhTdeO9ipdzrBXYsfgvMGmY7eiVBkXmU4TRx1o3nlX27pXEvfzy1Wed7If1FQ/s1080/Gwen%20Studios.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Gwen Studios Ribbon" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih2fTipy-NxNj0mZC_l3ul7VBQohgYSUIjeorLypxWTmKHn1JdMzVDDDQwxDOaaFZB9BlnQhxaO6zAxveA4789IxUOxx0VUSzdpe99SJyDyjwin7vTr4szR03WmVdTjlhTdeO9ipdzrBXYsfgvMGmY7eiVBkXmU4TRx1o3nlX27pXEvfzy1Wed7If1FQ/w320-h320/Gwen%20Studios.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Supplies:</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Gwen Studios Ribbon </li><ul><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ivory-Grosgrain-Ribbon-for-Crafts-and-Bows-7-8-x-100-Yards-by-Gwen-Studios/240924117" target="_blank">Pink Grosgrain 7/8 inch</a></li><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/GWEN-STUDIOS-Grosgrain-Red-Polyester-Ribbon-150-x-1-5/867419106" target="_blank">Lavender Grosgrain 1 1/2 inch</a> <br /></li><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Grosgrain-Ribbon-for-Crafts-and-Bows-12-Pastel-Colors-3-8-x-36-Yards-by-Gwen-Studios/953692987?variantFieldId=actual_color" target="_blank">Pastel Grosgrain 3/8 inch pack</a></li><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ivory-Grosgrain-Ribbon-for-Crafts-and-Bows-7-8-x-100-Yards-by-Gwen-Studios/240924117" target="_blank">Hot Pink Grosgrain 7/8 inch </a><br /></li></ul><li>10 inch wood embroidery hoop</li><li>Low Temp Glue Gun and glue sticks</li><li>Paper flowers in various styles</li></ul><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVfQWgEWxw0TVeF5PPpMDdxX2FWSkG_vmZrnGruWwkE7xR_DtPk0FwUJ9rPI3QxFm2z8H-OE2sErxnkEqeZdfSmzoRWWXFEE_uM2ABDwmkgnLcZiw_j4fdzYCxaf_24FAtvEOSDRIo_ahvShhXy8xVRq0Br-La8GncXhGxz4yh7hEgLKziFXX0J_lt1A/s600/Paper%20Flowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="paper flowers" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVfQWgEWxw0TVeF5PPpMDdxX2FWSkG_vmZrnGruWwkE7xR_DtPk0FwUJ9rPI3QxFm2z8H-OE2sErxnkEqeZdfSmzoRWWXFEE_uM2ABDwmkgnLcZiw_j4fdzYCxaf_24FAtvEOSDRIo_ahvShhXy8xVRq0Br-La8GncXhGxz4yh7hEgLKziFXX0J_lt1A/s16000/Paper%20Flowers.jpg" title="Make a beautiful floral hoop using Gwen Studios Ribbon and some basic supplies." /></a></div><p></p><p>I cut lengths of ribbon 24 inches long from a all the rolls, between 3 and 6 each.

The process for folding them is easy, it just takes a little practice! I use the grid on my mats to help me get them even. For the 3" length I line the corner of the ribbon up a shown in the first photo above. Once I have it lined up, fold the upper cut edge (on the left in the photo) over to line up with the lower cut edge (on the right in the photo). Pick the ribbon up and thread a needle through the bottom as shown. Gather the bottom together, wrap the thread around it a couple of times, then tie the thread off. Repeat 4 more times! (The purple tape is there for the photo only, I don't normally use it!). <br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1l2XOHLXuvIyfAGG60XGVlESW3afQj14P2n5j9yMNq2jb1Zozuv3d_XSCZwLawOl-r_8bFeIeAdyTw2LYIlck1C2fC7YTbKmgTcMRqUid1QAOa5DVOdb1VIjU6rBVLZEQainyTyMwWE4wsVcfI8SIlGv1jgloSE0ljO8pT1h3AYqa2bhzM3GH9OgOyw=s600" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flower assembly" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1l2XOHLXuvIyfAGG60XGVlESW3afQj14P2n5j9yMNq2jb1Zozuv3d_XSCZwLawOl-r_8bFeIeAdyTw2LYIlck1C2fC7YTbKmgTcMRqUid1QAOa5DVOdb1VIjU6rBVLZEQainyTyMwWE4wsVcfI8SIlGv1jgloSE0ljO8pT1h3AYqa2bhzM3GH9OgOyw=s16000" title="Learn how easy it is to make your own ribbon flowers using Gwen Studios Ribbon and simple supplies you already have on hand." /></a></div><p>Trim the bottoms of each petal close to the wrapped thread being careful not to cut the thread.

Be sure to trim the ends neatly. Lay out a longer piece of ribbon on your work surface. Place a pipe cleaner (cut in half) on top cross ways, then layer on the pieces of ribbon - FACE DOWN. Bring the ends of the long piece of ribbon up and tie a knot- be sure to get it as tight as you can. When you flip it over, the pipe cleaner should be on the top with the knot on the bottom. Secure it to the band using low temp glue. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPWVtycZ9IdgDhK2RGSI-d4eha5SmWRqq__RSRW0rUPIpA9ZhNjEuybLF9Sv0WLdbx8OH6BClIfKGvVC4jwJNb-1hn2m4Qav6nD4SJT9cwExmG6XNRjflAdrtj0nm4RJVQmmiJ1O0D4_EZ7ecqvMrgBMU5VpmycajfYqYKbVEGta8iLD7xKx7sABxUTg=s600" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ribbon loops" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgPWVtycZ9IdgDhK2RGSI-d4eha5SmWRqq__RSRW0rUPIpA9ZhNjEuybLF9Sv0WLdbx8OH6BClIfKGvVC4jwJNb-1hn2m4Qav6nD4SJT9cwExmG6XNRjflAdrtj0nm4RJVQmmiJ1O0D4_EZ7ecqvMrgBMU5VpmycajfYqYKbVEGta8iLD7xKx7sABxUTg=s16000" title="Ribbon wrapped headbands are super fun and easy to make using Gwen Studios Favor Packs of Ribbon and Appliques." /></a></div><p>You can make some loops from the ribbons by putting a small dab of low temp glue near the base of a ribbon, then folding the ribbon end over to the glue.

This was pretty cool. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"> I started by cutting all the pieces for my projects and sorting them on the corresponding menu sheet.

We had the best time! One of our favorite pieces of the trip was a Bike the Sights at Night tour. It was great. They provided the bike, water, snacks, and a tour guide. We rode from monument to monument, the guide would give us information on it, then we would have 15 minutes or so to take photos before moving on to the next one. We hit all the major monuments in one evening! <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvvnVQ7Ll_Igjf84TXIYalQpb8xeBJK8HdIVXYARSt3Xq4t5XBCLZ2u1s2MlWM7oCRWKI-YegE9NTTVFBfh3bN7PhRjBPT8uv98e0QyNAYBpiXbfEDo4kirYQxPQr0jkf-F6DLtnd14LA/s600/America+the+Beautiful+6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="America The Beautiful Layout" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvvnVQ7Ll_Igjf84TXIYalQpb8xeBJK8HdIVXYARSt3Xq4t5XBCLZ2u1s2MlWM7oCRWKI-YegE9NTTVFBfh3bN7PhRjBPT8uv98e0QyNAYBpiXbfEDo4kirYQxPQr0jkf-F6DLtnd14LA/s16000/America+the+Beautiful+6.jpg" title="America The Beautiful Layout" /></a></div><p></p><p>I am using an older line of Authentique papers here- Stay Anchored.

napkins and Mod Podge to create something fun with it. I found some
super cute bunny napkins and couldn't wait to get started! Did you know that Mod Podge has brushes designed to use with their products? I love using these because I don't have to fight with brush marks!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji17zyYnNVBFvqSzFls6J4vFRCTsUprG1gx9ty6hAYOKzU7fmEFYP2uVSgcQ1Ha3OH6FNYmfW4Y24e78TPNIl8gAg1etHK5hnYxanvvUo7ldreCMNkVJUitON5XYO7aB2enXBmLQ2qbQJ8/s600/Fussy+Cut+Napkins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fussy Cut Napkins" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji17zyYnNVBFvqSzFls6J4vFRCTsUprG1gx9ty6hAYOKzU7fmEFYP2uVSgcQ1Ha3OH6FNYmfW4Y24e78TPNIl8gAg1etHK5hnYxanvvUo7ldreCMNkVJUitON5XYO7aB2enXBmLQ2qbQJ8/s16000/Fussy+Cut+Napkins.jpg" title="Re-do an old tray using Mod Podge, decorative napkins, and StyleTechCraft adhesive vinyl." /></a></div><p>Start by fussy cutting the napkins. These napkins were pretty thick so I used my favorite paper scissors. Be sure to cut enough to finish your project and a couple of extra. Once the layers are separated they are thin! Pull the layers apart so that you are left with the top layer only. <br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwdJ3iAOvPIXfwC7WWufs2fLNJilGWHFJMD-J3gLwqydbWD_Fqn3U2pAm5LRga2WcLJSd9c3QRxCW5Q-PmGHNxY-bGqgVQuOZtI8tSFIo6UUL8Fo6K8bG6JZ8NsP10VdkC3ybs5M13KBdi/s600/Mod+Podge+Napkins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mod Podge Napkins" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwdJ3iAOvPIXfwC7WWufs2fLNJilGWHFJMD-J3gLwqydbWD_Fqn3U2pAm5LRga2WcLJSd9c3QRxCW5Q-PmGHNxY-bGqgVQuOZtI8tSFIo6UUL8Fo6K8bG6JZ8NsP10VdkC3ybs5M13KBdi/s16000/Mod+Podge+Napkins.jpg" title="Re-do an old tray using Mod Podge, decorative napkins, and StyleTechCraft adhesive vinyl." /></a></div><p>I like to start in the middle of the piece and apply one piece at a time. I did find that it was easier to apply a thin layer of the Mod Podge, then press the napkin into it, and let that dry. Then I went back and applied a layer on top of the napkins. When I tried to apply the top layer while the bottom layer was still wet, I tore the napkin! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkScfD0TgxR5lZUDMP-n_Yh-xxy8mT3ZrOBlR4C_mbwU31L23-R-J6I6QkyKCdZfnmdgDhjtFDG6dd_bbLXMIh8Wc7WvAeTm9QhNHKsJvNHDWZgDHQD2VE1DoPXV6OeSNeqdHOhT4wIkrZ/s600/Easter+Egg+Dish.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Easter Egg Dish" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkScfD0TgxR5lZUDMP-n_Yh-xxy8mT3ZrOBlR4C_mbwU31L23-R-J6I6QkyKCdZfnmdgDhjtFDG6dd_bbLXMIh8Wc7WvAeTm9QhNHKsJvNHDWZgDHQD2VE1DoPXV6OeSNeqdHOhT4wIkrZ/s16000/Easter+Egg+Dish.jpg" title="Re-do an old tray using Mod Podge, decorative napkins, and StyleTechCraft adhesive vinyl." /></a></div><p>I added a sentiment in the middle of the tray using StyleTechCraft™ Ultra Metallic vinyl in Melon #133 and my Silhouette Cameo 4.

My sweet princess needs a valentine to display on her school desk so I pulled out some supplies from my studio and went to work. Once I had my cut file created the rest of the project was pretty quick. Other than watching paint dry of course! <p></p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQXQV2epux6dmxe5w3a1HlfUW9Fx6NY0hIq6Z9SMvNefuNBGLEfPrgEZ-fZLKHb48g6YTn5Apv98Dh3SsJ0xvxwy3n2IJiNoyi9enc63ycyko34uUcgu-mjmRfXj-cYjSgWu6Fqmu-ijWd/s300/last-min-val-300x300.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Valentine Crafts" border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQXQV2epux6dmxe5w3a1HlfUW9Fx6NY0hIq6Z9SMvNefuNBGLEfPrgEZ-fZLKHb48g6YTn5Apv98Dh3SsJ0xvxwy3n2IJiNoyi9enc63ycyko34uUcgu-mjmRfXj-cYjSgWu6Fqmu-ijWd/s16000/last-min-val-300x300.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>I am so happy to be joining in the fun with the amazing ladies at Creative Crafts for a Last Minute Valentine collaboration.

I applied three coats of Wicker White Paint, drying between each coat, then sanded the edges for a rustic look. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVX575WvBpv8NSnMZkF1e92yQ4fUaD7K2ymPRGDLWUa4r_75509AIAx7NXmFfOEBWY93h9Cq9Q5M_Y0b1NZIE8ppkXhzY325hkp7ka9PQTZf3vD1gtRYzna3ji9o_3wN4iNTqRd2IK4wxT/s600/Samantha+Font.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Samantha Font" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVX575WvBpv8NSnMZkF1e92yQ4fUaD7K2ymPRGDLWUa4r_75509AIAx7NXmFfOEBWY93h9Cq9Q5M_Y0b1NZIE8ppkXhzY325hkp7ka9PQTZf3vD1gtRYzna3ji9o_3wN4iNTqRd2IK4wxT/s16000/Samantha+Font.jpg" title="Are you in need of a last minute Valentine?

I - LOVE- the Samantha font! It is one of my all time favorites and I had to use it for this too. My sweet princess is learning to read/write cursive so she will be able to read it! I used StyleTech Craft™ Craft Vinyl in Glossy Black for the sentiment. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQmdofs-yneGYEdmBEQcmImRu78sVpvhdRs2vh2fayVR8mZ6YSA8QO3OwwCTrxQL6gv70wWj82VwCxpwnrlgOLRxEwgpfYdG0J1NIfOrGoIfYp8RPa1_9Wt_bS6txI2OLdCvfHDpTB0c7/s600/Glitter+Hearts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Glitter Hearts" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQmdofs-yneGYEdmBEQcmImRu78sVpvhdRs2vh2fayVR8mZ6YSA8QO3OwwCTrxQL6gv70wWj82VwCxpwnrlgOLRxEwgpfYdG0J1NIfOrGoIfYp8RPa1_9Wt_bS6txI2OLdCvfHDpTB0c7/s16000/Glitter+Hearts.jpg" title="Are you in need of a last minute Valentine?

I used StyleTech Craft™ Ultra Metallic in Dark Red to cut the design, then used the end of a paint brush dipped in Licorice to create the body and antenna. Easy peasy! </p><p></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxogKECsLBI_3P2YBR3KKefF0vaCwbfvUvmo8cqC9gdz-8B46rCe8GhKn02fkayAm06joKjqD0PVsW_61Vr7uMWcE8uRW1-JamLG1tRy3zxadaIreaPORgiDA3x9tqJi1VQwoBPfEYvQB6/s650/Craft+Stash+Giveaway.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Craft Stash Give Away" border="0" data-original-height="518" data-original-width="650" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxogKECsLBI_3P2YBR3KKefF0vaCwbfvUvmo8cqC9gdz-8B46rCe8GhKn02fkayAm06joKjqD0PVsW_61Vr7uMWcE8uRW1-JamLG1tRy3zxadaIreaPORgiDA3x9tqJi1VQwoBPfEYvQB6/w400-h319/Craft+Stash+Giveaway.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The organizers of this crafty party, Creative Crafts Collaboration, have pulled together a Craft Stash Giveaway valued at $250!
