Sublimation Made Simple: Everything You Need to Craft in Full Color

This book will teach you everything you need to know about sublimation — from what materials you need and what programs you can use to create designs, to how to use “hacks” and solve common issues. Everything you need to know in order to do sublimation projects can be found in this book!

Are you new to sublimation? Have you tried to do a project or two, but really just want to improve your confidence and learn more? Let me tell you about it. Sublimation is a crafting process that allows you to take a detailed, full-color image and apply it to items made of polyester or with sublimation-friendly coatings. You need special ink, paper, and heat sources to sublimate sublimation-specific items called “blanks.” You can find out all about the equipment and supplies, the sublimation process, and more in this book.

Sublimation is an amazing process to add to your crafting. You can create beautiful, detailed, full-color designs that you just can’t do with vinyl. Want to create vividly colorful personalized matching tote bags for a family vacation to the beach? Interested in creating colorful ornaments to decorate a Christmas tree? Thinking about making yourself a personalized tumbler decorated with images of your pets? With sublimation, you can!

All of the products in this bookshop are digital downloads only.

Not sure how to download? Below are some common download instructions:

Important: Most mobile devices such as phones and iPads, do not allow for downloading through a link. The exception is for iOS devices running iOS version 11 and higher (so you may want to upgrade before downloading).

ZIP Files: Some of my products are sent using a compressed ZIP file.

Here's how to unzip a ZIP file:

On a desktop or laptop: Save the ZIP file to your computer, right-click and select, "Extract All" (Windows) or double-click (Mac). This will create a new file on your computer in which you can open. If you need to get the files onto your mobile device, add the file to iCloud or Dropbox, or simply email it to yourself. Alternatively, you can check your order email on your mobile device and re-download it from my store. If you have issues with downloading, make sure you have a strong Internet connection and/or try using a different browser.

On a mobile device (phone or tablet): If you have an iPhone or iPad, upgrade to iOS 11 or higher if possible. If you this is not an option, you may need to get a free app to unzip it BEFORE you attempt to download it. This will allow you to unzip the folder to access it. Another solution available on some mobile devices is to long hold the zipped file icon and then click, "Extract." On iOS 11 and higher, you can click "Preview Contents" to view the items inside the ZIP file and then save them individually to your device.

All files are sent using PDF format. Virtually all computers these days have pre-installed Adobe Reader software on them. If your particular desktop, laptop, or mobile device does not have a PDF reader of some sort on it, you'll need one to view the items. Adobe Reader is the most common one and it's free. You can download it here.

Can't find your file? Most downloaded files automatically go to the Downloads folder on both Mac and PC. On the Mac, click on the Finder icon in your dock and click on Downloads to see what you've downloaded recently. On the PC, look under My Computer or search the title of the file on your computer for where it could be hiding.

Note: Some web browsers will load the PDF directly into the browser. You can make a copy of this PDF and save it somewhere that makes sense on your computer by clicking File > Save.

Printing Note: If you attempt to print my PDFs from an iPad, you may encounter an iPad bug that prints the pages without the images. If this happens, you need to print from another location (laptop or desktop computer) or email the PDF to a local office supply store (Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot) for printing. This is a known iPad bug without a good workaround. I mention it now to save you from wasting ink and paper.
