Playing with Transfer Artist Paper

Video showing an easy way to do an image transfer with Lesley Riley's TAP!

Doing an image transfer is so easy with Lesley Riley‘s TAP.  How easy? It’s even Carolyn proof!  The directions even say “You cannot over-iron it!”  They were right!  My so very sad ironing skills were more than enough to make this work perfectly!  This is a part of the TAP/StencilGirl blog hop so be sure to check out the giveaway details below.

What image did I transfer? One I created using my all time favorite Spark of Art-spiration.  I’ll have a link to the exact image I used in this project in my next newsletter so you too can play with it. It’s free and you can sign up here!

I’m not a seasoned pro with fabrics and fiber related things but the only way I am going to get there is by giving it a go.  In the video, you will see all my learning moments…

Watch Doing an Image Transfer with TAP on YouTube.

Video showing how to do an image transfer with Lesley Riley's TAP by Carolyn Dube I did both muslin and canvas so you could see how the fabric you use makes a slight difference.  The canvas has a bit more texture than the muslin.

    Love the boots. Be fun to have a pair that colorful wouldn’t it! xox

  • Adele Hanley November 14, 2014, 6:11 am

    I would be so excited to win as I love your stencils, really want to try this tutorial and did a lesson with lesley riley on lifebook but haven’t been able to get hold of any tap paper to try it out. Loved this video as I just got a sewing machine and am learning to use it. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Kimberly Carmichael November 14, 2014, 7:20 am

  • Vicky November 14, 2014, 7:35 am

    Hey Carolyne,
    Love your tag, and you say you are not good at sewing?? I even can’t figure out how to thread the machine 🙂

  • Glenda L November 14, 2014, 8:49 am

    Being a Winter Texan, that boot really appeals to me. How very adorable. I like the ornament idea and the unique designs that you can get with this product and a little bit of inspiration. Thanks for sharing your talents.

  • Tasha F November 14, 2014, 8:52 am

  • Consie @ Atop Serenity Hill November 14, 2014, 8:58 am

    This was great to watch and has me wanting to order some paper. I had no idea how to use it so really appreciated this video. Just what I need, one more thing to play with. Thanks

  • Linda on the Prairie November 14, 2014, 10:11 am

    Let’s be honest. Fabric scares me. But you, Carolyn, can make fabric more appealing as a medium. It’s that gift you have for demystifying products and processes while giving us a sense of freedom. OOPS, not oops!

  • mera buford November 14, 2014, 10:27 am

    I love the look of mingled colors. Especially bright tones. I’ve been wanting to try transfer but I thought it was hard.

  • marylouh November 14, 2014, 11:10 am

    I have a nephew who would love this. thanks for the idea of a Christmas present.

  • Denise Huntington November 14, 2014, 11:10 am

  • Rebecca Buchanan November 14, 2014, 11:41 am

    Carolyn, you’re videos are always so much fun to watch and I always learn something. Love your tag and was very encouraged by your demo (I too can be iron challenged in spite of working with fabric for most of my projects–I love transfers but have always felt intimidated by them). Thank you!

  • Lesley November 14, 2014, 11:41 am

    I love this Carolyn! It gives me the idea for lots of Christmas ornaments. Thanks so much for playing with TAP and being a part of the blog hop.
