Or fill it with your favorite Artesprix products to gift to a crafty friend.

Artesprix Sublimation Paints to Create Custom Gift Bag Example

For this project, I mixed colors with the Artesprix sublimation paints and the paint mixing color chart. Once the paint was dry on the copy paper, I stamped onto the paper for a subtle touch with a couple stamps I picked up at Michaels. Keep your eyes peeled when you are out shopping for little things you can add on to each project.

I am sharing all of that in the latest video tutorial HERE on the Artesprix YouTube channel.

DIY Custom Wine Bag with Artesprix Sublimation Inks

Let’s Celebrate with a bit of Cheers!

Whether you are celebrating on New Years or for some other event throughout the year, bring a little something with you and add a special touch. This month I’m sharing how to create a custom wine bag with Artesprix Sublimation supplies in a few easy steps on the Artesprix YouTube channel.

Affiliate links may be present in the following blog post and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

For this project, I designed the files in Silhouette Studio and cut the stencils with the Silhouette Cameo 5 using Grafix Ultra Clear .007 Plastic.

Stencils are great for text with using the Artesprix sublimation products because text needs to be mirrored, so it will be correct when pressed onto the sublimation blank. A stencil can easily be used on either side, so is very versatile for many projects.

I used the Artesprix Sublimation Black Ink pad to fill in the design using my stencil, but this project could be done with the Artesprix sublimation paints or markers too!

Now, to decide which I like better? The text running top to bottom?

Or bottom to top?

When I asked Google, one reference said, “If the text is to be read above eye level, then it should run from bottom to top. If the text is to be read below eye level, it should run top to bottom.” – Paxton Signs

So I guess it’s all a matter of how high you hold the wine bottle in the bag when looking at it? Or maybe if you drink the wine in the bag, it really won’t matter?

Just have fun and create!

Check out the video tutorial HERE on the Artesprix YouTube channel.

Custom Hand Towels with Artesprix

Take your custom wine-themed kitchen towels to the next level with the perfect finishing touches! Whether you’re crafting these towels as gifts or to enhance your own kitchen décor, adding one final touch can transform your DIY project into a efficient tool.

Affiliate links may be present in the following blog post and as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Do you have projects sitting around that just need that finishing touch? Raising my hand over here.

These wine themed kitchen towels have been hanging out in my studio since I created them in June for the Artesprix YouTube video found HERE.

I found an idea on Pinterest and wanted to add to it. It was so simple and I don’t know why I didn’t get it done sooner.

I picked up some black pot holders and then pinned it to the middle of the hand towel.

Then simply sewed a line right down the middle and added a button on the backside for the loop to hook onto.

Ta-da! Done! Hanging in my kitchen and so handy on my oven door.

Project done! Wahoo! Crossing things off the list… not near as fast as I add them to the list, but I’m going to chalk this up as a win! It’s done.

Check out all the details on what I used to create these custom hand towels HERE.

Such a good little monster.

She even tried to bring in the model from last months Artesprix video but he wasn’t feeling like a photo shoot today.

Halloween Costume with a Pet Bandana and Artesprix Sublimation Paints

Affiliate links may be present in the following blog post and as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Have you ever tried to have a photo shoot with your pets?
This month I was working with the Artesprix Sublimation paints and the Artesprix pet bandanas to create pet costumes. I needed a few good models.

Bader was pretty dashing in his bow tie.

However, Goldy was not having any of it and took off right after I snapped this photo.

But Bader was such a good sport and actually came back for more photos after his sister decided she was not participating.

Or it could have been the treats he was getting too!

And my daughter grabbed one and decided it was now hers for her stuffy to dress up for Halloween.

It was easy to do and even though I’m no artist I freehanded the designs to show how easy it can be done.

Check out the new video HERE on the Artesprix YouTube channel.

This month I had a blast creating custom bottle openers with the Artesprix sublimation markers and stamp pads.

Check out the new video HERE on the Artesprix YouTube channel.

I used my Siser Juliet cutting machine and set it up to sketch out my text. You could use any cutting machine that the Artesprix sublimation markers fit in or even hand letter a design too!

I briefly covered how I set up the sketch in the Artesprix video.
For a more detailed look at sketching with Siser Juliet or Romeo, check out this new video on the Swift Creek Customs YouTube channel.

And then I did some experimenting as well with color saturation on the backside.
I LOVE how these have a bright, metallic look to them!
