Preparing the Infusible Ink Image

  • Select images in the toolbar and search the designs using the codes provided above (for example, #M16A67D4E for Makeup Brush). Upload all the images onto the blank canvas.
  • For the largest cosmetic bag, adjust the size of each image to about 4” (except for the brush, which is 5”). Place them in a line as shown they measure together 5” high x 8” wide.
  • Highlight and click attach to group all pieces together for cutting.
  • Click Make it.

Cutting out the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet with the Cricut Maker:

  • Press Continue.
  • Set the Mirror toggle button to ON position.
  • Set the material option to an infusible transfer sheet.
  • Position the desired infusible ink transfer sheet from the Animal Brights pack on the Cricut standard grip mat with the shiny side facing down.
  • Ensure the fine point blade is inserted in the Maker and load the prepared mat.
  • In no time at all, the Maker will cut out the pattern precisely and when prompted unload the mat.
  • Simply use your fingers to peel away the excess part of the cut design.

Applying the Infusible Ink with the EasyPress 2

  • Preheat the EasyPress2 to 400F and set the time to 40 seconds.
  • Place the bag down on top of the mat and insert the cardstock into the bag.
  • Use the lint roller over the tote bag to eliminate any loose fibers before heat pressing.
  • Cover the surface of the bag with a sheet of butcher paper and preheat the tote bag for 15 seconds. Remove the butcher paper carefully.
  • Position the prepared design face down on to the bag with the liner side facing up.To be sure the design doesn’t shift when pressing, apply some heat resistant tape to hold it in place.
  • Cover with a clean sheet of butcher paper and steadily press the EasyPress on top of the design for 40 seconds with some light pressure.
  • Lift the press and carefully remove the butcher paper. Wait for the surface to cool completely before peeling away the liner.
