Step 1

Cut your iron-on into the design of your choice. Be sure to put the material shiny side down on the mat and mirror your design before cutting. You can see the basics of working with this material here.

Step 2

Weed away all of the excess from your design including around the outer edge as well as the centers of any letters.

Step 3

Lay the socks where the bottom is flat and face up. Press for a few seconds with your EasyPress then add your design to the right location.

Step 4

Then press at the recommended temperature for the time indicated. You will want to press from the front and the back if your iron-on product calls for that.

Step 5

Allow the socks to cool and remove the carrier sheet. Please note that the product I am using is a cool peel. You will want to look at the instructions for the product you are using. I like to press once more on baby gifts after the carrier sheet is removed. Cover your area with a teflon sheet or parchment paper then press for about 1/2 the time at the same temperature. This makes sure your design is stuck before giving to a child.

Step 6

Again, you will follow the same basic instructions as for the baby socks above. Put your iron-on face down on your mat and mirror your cut. Once cut, weed away all of the excess from your design.

Step 7

Press the bib by itself for a few seconds. Then add your design and press at the recommended temperature for the time indicated. You will want to press from the front and the back if your material calls for it. Then allow to cool (if required) and remove the carrier sheet. Once again, I use a protective sheet and press once more after removing the carrier sheet to make sure everything is stuck.

Step 8

Cut your Infusible Ink sheet using your Cricut. Place your material ink side up on the mat and mirror your design. Then cut using the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet setting.

Step 9

Weed away all of the excess on your design. Be sure to use tweezers if you need help lifting the pieces for this one as weeding tools can damage the ink. Preheat your blanket for a few minutes then lint roll it before adding your design into place.

Step 10

Put white cardstock on your EasyPress mat to protect it. Then add your blanket, your design, and cover with the butcher paper in the Infusible Ink packaging. Press at the recommended temperature for the full time. Then you can peel back your design while it is still warm. Your blanket is done and ready for your gift basket!

Step 11

Cut your vinyl pieces with your Cricut machine out of whatever colors you would like.

Step 12

Weed each piece to remove any excess material.

Step 13

Add transfer tape to the front of each piece and burnish well.

Step 14

Peel away the backing leaving the vinyl on the transfer tape.

Step 15

If you have multiple layers, be sure to add them all to the same piece of transfer tape before putting on your project.

Step 16

Apply the vinyl to your photo album and burnish well.

Step 17

Then peel back transfer tape leaving your vinyl decal on your photo album. Repeat for as many decals as you would like. You can also see our vinyl basics post here.
