It’s time for a Cricut Design Space lesson – today’s topic is all sublimation. This is a companion video to my Kitchen Boa tutorial, but you can use these basic steps to prepare your sublimation materials for lots of different blanks using a few different techniques. We will work with Infusible Ink Transfer sheets as well as sublimation prints that we’ll make using Cricut Design Space. Everything can be made on any Maker or Explore series cutting machine. Let’s get started!
