Hello crafty friends! I am a big fan of tote bags. I love it for its multi-purposes and is big enough for carrying stuff. I always wanted to personalize my own tote bag. I am so glad that Imagine carries these amazing VersaCraft Ink Pads and Fabrico Markers for fabric projects. So, today we are going to personalize a tote bag together. Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Beginner Time: 15 minutes
Direction:
Step 1
You are gonna need a blank canvas tote bag that can be found easily in any craft stores and online stores. The tote bag I used today is about 13 inch x 15 inch.
Lay it flat on the ironing mat and iron the tote bag to remove the wrinkles. I pre-washed the bag, but it is an optional step if you want to do it.
Put a piece of cardboard or cardstock inside the bag that is big enough to cover the area where you will stamp or paint or draw. Secure it with some washi tapes or any low-tack tapes.
Step 2
Start stamping the tote bag with the largest image.
Put the largest butterfly on a stamping blog and cover it with the VersaCraft Real Black ink. Stamp it on the tote bag and press it firmly for a few seconds.
I used the “rule of three” to position the butterflies, from here I can fill the empty spaces to build up the pattern.
Step 3
Next is stamping with the second largest image.
Put the stamp on a stamping blog and cover it with the VersaCraft Real Black ink around the big butterfly. Stamp it on the tote bag and press it firmly for a few seconds.
Step 4
Next is the smallest size of the stamp to fill up the rest of the empty space. You will start to see the full pattern on the bag.
Put the butterfly stamp on a stamping blog and cover it with the VersaCraft Real Black ink. Stamp it on the tote bag and press it firmly for a few seconds.
If you plan to have some sentiment or words like I did, make sure you have space for it.
Step 5
I picked the phrase “Spread your wings” to be on my canvas tote bag.
Stamp each letter from the alpha stamp set with VersaCraft Real Black ink pad.
Step 6
Trace the letters with Fabrico Real Black Marker for bolder print on the canvas tote bag.
Step 7
This final step is optional. You can use an iron to set the ink to the canvas tote bag. But without ironing, the ink will dry permanently in 24 hours (do not get it wet).
I would suggest spot-cleaning the bag, or hand-washing it if the bag gets dirty.
I hope you will give this technique a try and play around with different colors. This personalized tote bag can be made for your own use or as a gift for others.

– Summertime means wearing sunglasses here in the Pacific Northwest and getting ready to spend time out of doors! I wanted to celebrate the return of the warm sun and the 4th of July with this red, white and blue card that could be used anytime during the summer.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1: After die cutting the three pairs of sunglasses as well as their lenses (which are separate in the die set), color part of the lenses’ elements with Danube Blue Memento Dual Marker.
Step 1.5: Remember that you need to color all of the parts of the lenses that you intended to color with the Danube Blue Memento Dual Marker. (Whoops!)
Step 2: Press other parts of the die cut lenses into the Arctic VersaFine Clair ink pad. Heat emboss the larger die cuts with clear embossing powder if desired. (I chose not to heat emboss the letters since they were so small.) Then assemble all of the lenses using washi tape on the back of each lens to hold the pieces together.
Step 3: Press the three die cut sunglass frames into the London Fog Memento ink pad.
Step 4: After die cutting the striped background panel, color the stripes with Poppy Red Fabrico Dual Marker
Step 5: Spray all of the components of the card–the sunglass frames, the lenses and the striped background panel–with Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and allow to dry.
Step 6: Assemble the card. Adhere the striped panel to an A2 white card base, then inlay the red die-cut stripes. Then glue the three frames onto the panel and inlay the frames into the frames. Glue clear rhinestones on the lower left and upper right part of the card to finish the card.
