Printed Fabric Transfer Using Digital Stamps

Good Wednesday to everyone, this is Sara;)

I am here with a tutorial for you on one more way to use  your digital stamps,

Printed Fabric Transfer.

Supplies you will need:

Digital Stamp

Today I am using

Eureka Stamps 

 digi57901 Heart Background

Computer/Printer

Fabric Transfer Printer Paper,

I used the product below from Avery

 

Mainstays Flour Sack Towels

Iron and Ironing board

2 yards of ribbon trim

Fabric Glue

Scissors

Step One:  Open your digital stamp into your graphic program I use PSE10, make all the changes you desire.  For mine I used a red color stylizer.  In just a few seconds I had transformed the background image.

Step Two:  Print your image onto the transfer printer paper (per product directions). 

I chose custom print size and ticked the box Scale to fit Media.  *The original size of the background stamp is 5.94" by 7.29". 
You can see below the prompt box the open white space for the printed background.

 

 Now for the last screen before printing, you can see the digital stamp fills the entire

8 1/2" by 11" of paper and there is no more white space.

Step Three:  Cut your paper transfer to the size and dimensions you need for your project.

I used 3 3" wide strips 8 1/2" long.  I also had to cut two smaller pieces to fill in the end side of the pattern.  It took a full sheet of 8 1/2" by 11" transfer paper to complete my design.

Step Four:  Wash and Iron flat the flour sack towel.

Step Five:  Iron your your transfer pieces (per product directions).

You can see below how I used the hem of the towel for positioning my iron on transfer.

I did this step three times until I had the 3" trim transfer I desired.

Step 6:  Take your fabric trim and fabric glue and apply to the upper and lower borders of the transferred image and let it dry overnight.  You can if you wish tack it in a few places with some stitching if you so desire.

 Here is a photo of my finished towel hanging...

This was so much fun to do, I hope you give this tutorial a try.

Any questions you can email me

Digital Stamp PSE10 Digital Coloring Tutorial

Hello and Welcome To Eureka Stamps.

I am Sara, today I have a tutorial for you on how to

digitally color your Digital Stamps.

I am using PSE10.

(This should also work for versions below.  However, if you are

using version 11 the tools are all there just in different places in the program window.)

You can download a trial version of PSE11 from ADOBE

If you love digital stamps and do not have photoshop now is the time to pick up version 10, you can find it at closeout prices since version 11 is now on the market.  

  I will show you how I digitally colored

the Bear With A Heart  and used him on a card for today's tutorial.

You can also pick up a freebie download I have prepared for you with this link:

Dropbox Bear With A Heart

**The digital stamps used are not included in this kit you

can pick them up 

from the

Eureka Stamps Store

with the provided links:

Bear With A Heart digi8202

and

I Hold You digi10101

Kit does include:

1 embossed heart paper

5 digi pattern papers

1 Flourished Adventure Map psd file

all digital papers are 300dpi 12" by 12" jpg files

Please pick up the kit and digital stamps so you can try this fun technique.

Kit Preview...

Are you ready for a New Adventure?

You can click on any image below and it will take you to the full size image for better viewing.

If your image is a png you can skip this next step because a png

already has a transparent background.

(I note a little blip of red on his finger, grab a small eraser when this happens and remove the color that is outside the digital stamp line.)

Your adjustment layer is the half moon shape at the bottom of your layers panel

I am going to take a minute here to explain the Layers section a bit more for those who are not familiar with the program.

After I duplicated my original image and had completed the placement into the program I went ahead and duplicated the bear with a heart layer twice,

this created three layers of the bear in the layers panel.

(the layer quantity I create depends on the complexity of the digi stamp or, how many different colors or effects I think I may use.  Each color or DP goes on a different layer.

I do on occasion break this rule of layers just depends on what I am doing, when you get used to the program you will develop your own habits. 

 For in Photoshop there are multiple ways of obtaining the same outcome.

Now the adjustment layer (after you click the half moon automatically opens onto a new layer).

Compare the screen shot from above to the one directly below.

See how the adjustment layer became the first layer?

Then note how I moved the  adjustment layer position in the layers panel.

***********

Now we can move forward with the removal of the excess adjustment layer.

Again the DP when placed creates its own layer in the layers panel

 just like I explained with the adjustment layer.

Because I colored the heart on its own layer I was now able to attach the dp to the heart layer,

when you work like this you do not need to use the eraser because the paper automatically 

snaps into the colored heart position.

I run a Mac to attach layers you move the mouse cursor to the black line between your dp layer and the colored heart layer.

Next hit the 

Option key on your keyboard, this will change your cursor into a double circle

the top circle appears black.

After this shows up you know you are in the right place so click your mouse one time.

Now the dp layer is offset and shows a down arrow pointing to the bear with the colored red heart.

This means you have successfully attached your layers.

****

In this screen shot you see how I now have merged all the layers into one,

I decided to paint the paws and small heart on this layer.

To merge layers in photoshop

move your cursor up to the very top of the program screen

 click on Layer

Move down to the options

Merge down

Merge visible

choose merge visible, now only one layer will appear in the layers panel as shown in 

the screen shot below.

Here is my finished Bear With A Heart...

Now I will show you how I used this colored digi to make a hybrid card...

In the free download you will receive a psd file called

Flourished Adventure Map

Open this in PSE

Now you have completed your card front.

Print it off onto card stock or I like to use a glossy photo paper.

Cut your mat layer

4 1/8" by 5 3/8"

Cut your card base

4 1/4" by 11"

Score Card base at 5 1/2"

Fold your card base on the score line.

Attach your mat layer.

Attach your printed card front.

I stopped there with my creation however, you can continue to embellish as you wish.

I had fun working with this little guy, hope you have enjoyed  as well.

and I will try to answer them for you.

cardstock and die cut them with nestabilities.

Happy Saturday!

Today I am bringing you

"Just a note...",

A stationary set for those on the go.

 Below is a close up of one of the small note cards, they are retired SU, time to get these

babies used up.  I made some return address labels and placed them on the backs of the envelopes. 

They are a perfect size for the set and I tucked them into a small brown sack.

Below you can see how I used red line tape and wax paper to make my own bag.

(I have looked all over and have not found a sack I like for packaging up these list pads.)

Walk On Water

Good Morning to you!  

This little creation is sure to put a spring in your step and get

you ready for a wonderful day!

Walk On Water

Easel Fold Card

I used an easel fold so the sentiment was also showcased.

This would be a great way for Sunday School kiddos and VBS attendees

to learn the scripture for the day.

Close up of easel top...

Above I used the digital image

digi15402 Walk on Water

Close up of easel bottom...

The sentiment digi image on the bottom portion is

digi26202 Have I Not Commanded

I added in some drop shadow so it would match the distressing of the waves 

and change the look just a tad.

The waves were cut on my Cricut using digital paper that I printed out.

Distressed by inking up my Divine Swirls embossing folder with

Tim Holtz distress ink vintage photo.
