I do not have a sublimation printer, I’am purchasing either the ready to apply sublimation sheets or infusible ink. I love the effect. What types of images can I download. Just learning. Thank you!
Hi Wendy!
When using sublimation sheets or infusible ink, I would recommend using an SVG. The easiest option is to start out with a design that doesn't require layering several colors to get started with, although this is of course possible once you get the hang of it.
Here are some classes that might be helpful getting you started with infusible ink:

Sublimation sheets and infusible ink are fantastic choices for achieving vibrant and long-lasting designs without a sublimation printer!
Types of Images to Download
Consider downloading images that are high in resolution and have vivid colors, as sublimation and infusible inks transfer the nuances beautifully. Abstract designs, floral patterns, geometric shapes, and whimsical illustrations work wonderfully.
Tips for Using Sublimation Sheets or Infusible Ink
Color Intensity
Choose images with bright and contrasting colors for the best effect—soft watercolors or pastel images might not pop as much.
Design Complexity
Simple, bold designs often produce clearer results, but if you love intricate details, make sure your image's resolution is high enough to capture them.

Creating an iris fold outline on card from an image involves a blend of design and precision. Here's a streamlined approach to help you cut with clarity.
1. Image Preparation
Select your image and make sure it's suitable for vectorizing. High-contrast images with clear lines work best. Use a tool like Creative Fabrica's Vectorizer to convert your image into an SVG file.
2. Editable Design
Once your image is vectorized, use design software to simplify the lines, if necessary. Separate the outline part of the image that you want to cut.
3. Craft Cutting
Load the SVG into a cutting machine if you have one, or print it at the desired size for manual cutting. For a machine like a Cricut or Silhouette, ensure the lines are set to 'cut'. For manual cutting, use a craft knife and cutting mat to carefully follow the outline.
4. Iris Fold Template
Position your template over the cut-out and start placing your folded strips according to your pattern. Secure as needed with tape or glue from the reverse side.
With these steps, creating a beautiful iris folded card becomes a slice of creativity! Enjoy crafting your unique design! ✂️✨
