Easy peasy. A lot easier than what I thought. Thanks so much for your easy to follow instructions

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

You are very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@BSDLLC]

Thanks for the easy to understand and quick tutorial. Had no idea you could heat transfer to card stock.

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@Joyce-Barker]

I just did this recently as a trial..made luggage tags added a decoration and address on both sides .perfect.

[@BlueBoxGirl1837]

Perfect!! Thank you!!

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

You're so welcome!

[@azflower7748]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. So many designers are now using vinyl on their cardstock projects but they never elaborate HOW to do that and I've been wanting to try it for some time but have been holding back since I was afraid of setting the card on fire :) I have a TON of HTV but I am first and foremost a paper crafter who loves making cards, so now I have another tool in my crafting box! Again, thank you.

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

You are so welcome! I'm so happy to hear that this was helpful for you!🙂

[@mickikn613]

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!🙂

[@fernandolopez2260]

Thank you for this I'm just getting into this line of work after being a auto mechanic by trade this is a tough industry to get help so thanks a million🙏🧿🙏

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

I'm so glad it was helpful to you!

[@DUCKSJO]

thanks for idea. I have pre-folded cards already and will do that. I tried before but I believe heat was too high. My mini heat is not Cricut brand but will choose lowest setting.

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

You're welcome! I hope it works out for you with the adjusted heat setting!

Which HTV are you using you said Non Cricut and it’s a hot peel?

[@gerigeri168]

Have you tried printable iron on vinyl? Ty

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

I have not tried printable iron on vinyl yet. I've had it forever and just haven't found the project I want to use it with yet. It's very similar to the print then cut process and then you just iron it on like you would regular iron on vinyl. I will have to think of a tutorial to do with it soon.🙂

[@kellyphillips8913]

Do you recommend using parchment paper?

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

Usually the temperature on my Easy Press mini works great without having any sort of additional covering. If you think your paper is getting too hot, you can definitely try using butcher paper or a Teflon sheet for additional protection.

[@jacquelineestevez827]

Can I use infusible pens on cardstock ?

[@CraftingaLovelyLife]

I don't see why you couldn't use them on cardstock just for writing purposes. They will be muted in color though since you aren't actually infusing the ink into the paper (the ink infusing process requires heat and specific material types made for infusing). The ink might also not last as long as traditional ink, but I'm honestly not sure because I have never used infusible ink pens on cardstock. My recommendation would be to use regular pens for this purpose, but if you needed to in a pinch you could probably get away with using infusible ink pens.
