I {Heart} Surface Design: Photo Transfer
February 06, 2020
This one is perfect for a Valentine's Day gift! Today's heart features a photo transfer of my two special Valentine's Day squeezes!
I used TAP (Transfer Artist Paper) to do the transfer. But there are a million ways to do transfers -- you can learn four of them in my online class on the subject. Here's the process with TAP:
I adjusted my image in Photoshop, including mirror-imaging it so that the text would read correctly. Then I printed the image onto TAP:
I cut around the edges of the photo and laid my chipboard heart on top of the photo to determine placement.
Then I flipped the whole thing over (so the chipboard was on the bottom), placed a pressing cloth over it and ironed according to the directions on the package of TAP.
(The pressing cloth I'm using is just a scrap of fabric that I sun printed. It's pretty, isn't it?!)
I peeled away the paper and my transfer had been made!
Of course, I stupidly didn't put anything under the transfer, so it transferred to my ironing board. Sigh.
