There are a number of videos on YouTube on how to make rub-ons, but my technique is a little different, so I just had to share. In the past, when I tried to make rub-ons using transparency sheets, my results were less than desirable. A couple of weeks ago, I made a video on how to make printed transparencies using the Imagine. It worked so well that I decided to use the ink jet transparencies to make rub-ons and it worked great!
Hope you enjoy the video and please leave a comment to enter the giveaway.
Thanks for visiting!

Great tutorial! Can't wait to try this. TFS! :D
You make this look so easy - I tried this once a few years back with less than stellar results. Maybe the plain paper setting is the key. I'll have to give it another go. Thanks for sharing.
What a great turorial!! Love this idea. I'll have to give it a try!
I have never tried this before. I will try it now! Thanks for sharing on how to do it!

Thanks everyone. My biggest hint is to let the ink dry for 30 seconds before you start to rub it off.
Linda
So you did flip the lettering before printing? What was the font you used that you liked so much?
Thank you for sharing!
Betsy: I used the flip feature in my printer. The font is a hallmark font...BaaBookHmk.
Linda
I love it, I can't wait to try this
Great tutorial! I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you for the tutorials and thanks for the chance to win! inezmontemayor@yahoo.com
Thank you for the video! I tried this once, and had kind of forotten about making my own transparencies!
I have an Epson printer and cannot find a flip feature! I was able to flip using Photoshop.
TFS I had never seen rub=ons created before. {Hugs} Peggy
I can't believe how easy it was to make a rub on with this technique. Thanks.
This is great! It will open up alot of possibilities. Very excited to try it! Can you use different ink colors for this technique? Thanks, again.
What a nifty idea. I must give this a try. Thanks for sharing and the opportunity to win.

Teresa: It also works with colored ink! Thanks for question.
Linda
Wow! I'm amazed! I never would have thought of this! Have you tried a rub-on other than text? Like a flourish or flower? Just curious! Now I have to remember to try this next time I get crafting time! Thanks Linda!

Kris: Great idea. I haven't tried, but what a great thought!
Linda
You always have such great ideas. Love your blog! Great videos and thanks for sharing.
I love this! I don't own many stamps, yet, so I try to print alot of my sentiments. It is hard to print the sentiment and then cut it out centered in whatever shape I want. This solves all of my problems! Thanks for sharing!!
What a great tutorial. I don't have stamps, but I could surely do this. I wonder if I designed faces with my graphics program if that would work for faces. Have you tried that?

You amaze me with the ideas you come up with. I had no idea you could make your own transparencies. What a clever girl you are. I will be sure to keep following.
I was thinking that you used this technique somehow with your Imagine machine...did I read it wrong? Thank you for this helpful tutorial though!
I have been trying to find a transfer paper to print my family pictures on then transfer them onto Christmas Ornaments. I have a Kodak ESP Office 2150 printer, do you think your method will work for me, and can you please tell me what paper you used and where to get it, I tried to pause the video to actually get everything you were saying but was unable to. Please let me know everything I will need in order to accomplish what you did.... Thank-you Linda very much for your help, I Love making homemade Christmas gifts and I think my family will enjoy these ornaments if I can get this done.
