How to Transfer a Laser Print with your Iron

How to Transfer a Laser Print with your Iron

I was going to title this “How to Transfer a Laser Print with Your Home Iron and Drive Your Husband Crazy Enough To Want To Buy You An ‘Art Iron,’” but I decided to shorten it a bit =) Basically I got to have an adventure over the long weekend last week with some paint, a spare Anyway Tray board, our “good” iron (as Dear Husband dubbed it afterwards) and an 11×17 copy of one of our new Chef phrases (this was one of mine, and I knew what I wanted to do with it as soon as I designed it!). It was my first attempt at doing a transfer like this, so there was some “live and learn” action going on, but I took pictures as I went so I could share the experience with you. The result was a lot of fun, slightly grungy, and made Patty squeal when I brought it in to show her, so this blog post was officially a go! Read on for the details =)

Quick Jess Desk Test

So we have a new way of printing paper here at Creative Arts Lifestyle, and we’re all super excited about the possibilities this brings. We were testing out new versions of our background papers left and right for probably longer than we should have been yesterday, but we just couldn’t help it. It was so much fun to see how the colors came out!

Patty’s thoughts on So Soft Fine Glitter Paint from DecoArt

December 7, 2011 by Patricia in Creativity, Painting

When DecoArt introduced this line of paints called So Soft Fine Glitter, I kinda did a little eye roll… I have alot of paint and alot of glitter and I don’t do much fabric painting in my world of Decorative Painting..  Sooo….. I pushed it aside. Then while I was at Hoot (Heart of Ohio Tole Convention) a lovely artist named Debra Welty had some T-shirts she had painted that had the BEST sparkle to them.. low chunk gorgeous GLAM! And after I asked permission to touch  the shirt I saw that it doesn’t come off.. This was amazing.. so I took some out last week… played around with them… The So Soft Fine Glitter is glitter suspended in a paint and medium, it stays flexible like the So Soft paints do and  you can layer them over painted surfaces… One coat gives you a little sparkle a few coats.. MAGIC! Sometimes you need  ”GLITTER” and sometimes you need sparkle… I love that if you do wash this the product doesn’t come off and it won’t shed like some glitters do. Hands down I am a fan and am making excuses to use these great products, How would the Dog look with some So Soft Fine Glitter on his curly coat? LOL>… Come here Freckles! Patty
