DIY Wine Stopper with Custom Design using Artesprix Sublimation Markers

I recently took a 5 day challenge for a watercolor class held by Tracey Weinzapfel and it was so inspiring. Each night we had a 1 hour live class and she would show us some techniques to just play with. I loved it and sometimes my brain just would not stop thinking of new ideas. This one hit me in the middle of the night and I knew I wanted to try it out.

I can say that there is not another one like this in the world as it was custom drawn by me. But, you do not have to hand draw a design like I did. You can also use small stamps, add textures, paint a design, and more!

Artesprix Jewelry Pendant with Beaded Necklace by EllyMae at Silhouette Secrets+

The white part of the design is the white of the sublimation blank and is created by using the Artesprix Heat Transfer Resist Mask. Basically it’s a stencil in reverse. The Heat Transfer Mask blocks any of the ink from binding to the sublimation blank and leaves it a bright white.

Silhouette Cameo 5 cutting Artesprix Heat Transfer Resist Mask

I cut the Heat Transfer Resist Mask with the Silhouette Cameo 5 using a Blade depth – 2, Force – 14, and speed 5 cut this design beautifully. I would highly recommend test cutting to get the best cut settings for use with your machine and blade. My blade is older and well used, so it did use more force than a brand new blade would.

Here is a close up look at the finished custom jewelry pendant.

Alcohol Ink Backgrounds with Grafix Dura-Bright White

Grafix Dura-Bright Alcohol Ink Backgrounds
Silhouette Secrets+ with EllyMae

I had so much fun playing with alcohol inks and the Grafix Dura-Bright White creating a background that I used for several different projects!

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

This project took on a life of it’s own as I went. I started with the idea to create a card and a bookmark, but ended up letting the art talk to me and see where it went. I love it!!!!

Alcohol Ink Backgrounds for cards, bookmarks, and framed decor with Grafix Dura-Bright.

Anyone can do this! I used alcohol ink and dropped it onto the Dura-Bright White and moved it around with an air blower. While the background was drying, I cut some designs out of Oracal 651 white adhesive vinyl. After the Dura-Bright was fully dry, I cut it up into several sizes for the projects, then added a laminate overlay on top to protect the alcohol ink design. Finished off the designs with the adhesive vinyl decal on top.

While creating the intended designs, another idea was born, and I just rolled with it. Now I have a framed piece of art for my desk. I love it!!!!

Sublimation Door Hanger with Artesprix Sublimation Inks & Markers

Sublimation Door Hanger
Silhouette Secrets+ with EllyMae

This month’s project with Artesprix is all about adding a personal touch with a custom sublimation door hanger! For this design, I decided to go the extra creative mile by hand-drawing the artwork, giving it a unique and personal feel. Using Artesprix sublimation markers and my own creativity, I transformed a simple blank door hanger into a vibrant, one-of-a-kind piece of home decor. From the initial sketch to the final heat press reveal, this project showcases just how versatile and fun sublimation crafting can be!

Artesprix Sublimation Door Hanger with Markers and Inks

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

For this design I was experimenting a bit along the way and I already have ideas for another one too!

I used the Artesprix Sublimation Ink mixed with a bit of water for the background and painted that onto mixed media paper. In the future, I will add a little more water to the ink to make it a little bit lighter. With sublimation colors, you don’t see the final color until after it has been heat pressed. This turned out with a very vibrant, bright yellow.

Then I hand lettered the text using the Artesprix sublimation markers. The key about text with sublimation is that it has to be mirrored. I am not great at writing backwards, so I shared some tricks I used in the video below.

Next, I drew the leaves using a pencil. Pencil does not transfer to the sublimation blank so it’s great to draw around your blank for a template or sketch in designs. And then used more ink colors to color in the leaves and finished those off by outlining with the sublimation markers in several colors.

Anyone can do this and you do NOT have to be an artist to create with the Artesprix Sublimation products. You also do NOT need a sublimation printer, so it is a great way to dip your toe in the water to test sublimation before investing in a bunch of equipment.

Sublimation Without a Printer: Easy DIY Drawstring Bag Tutorial Using Artesprix Inks

Artesprix Sublimation Inks to Create Custom Drawstring Bag
Silhouette Secrets+ with EllyMae

I love creating with the Artesprix Sublimation products! It has really helped me to just let go of my perfectionist tendencies and just create. These custom drawstring bags turned out FANTASTIC! I used the Artesprix mirror stamp plate for the text and then used it again as a color palette to pick up ink and paint the flowers. I wasn’t quite sure how the colors would show up on the background of the drawstring bag, but it was so bright and vibrant.

Create Custom Stencils: Using Grafix Stencil Film with Your Silhouette Machine

Grafix Stencil Film with Silhouette and Artesprix
Silhouette Secrets+ with EllyMae

Have you ever made your own custom stencils? Combining Grafix Stencil Film with a Silhouette cutting machine opens up endless possibilities for creative projects and designs. You can easily create a wide variety of customized pieces! Using the Silhouette, a design by Sarah Hurley, and Grafix Stencil Film, I created a custom stencil that can be used over and over again.

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

For this project I used Artesprix Sublimation inks with the custom cut Grafix Stencil Film and created a sublimation journal cover.

DIY Stencils with Grafix Stencil Film and Silhouette

I would recommend having a dedicated blade for cutting different materials. This will help to increase the lifespan on the blades, as well as help with future cut issues. Each material will dull the blade differently and stencil material is plastic, so that does affect it differently than say cutting a much thinner material such as adhesive vinyl.

The best thing you can do is test cut to determine what settings are going to work for your blade, machine model, and the materials being used.

Silhouette settings used:

After the cut is finished, check the cut to see if it cut completely through before unloading the mat from the machine. I have to tell myself this constantly because I’m so quick to press that unload button, but it can save you time and materials if you get in the habit of checking the cut first and if it did not cut through, then you can send it again and it should cut in the same exact location.
