With Mother’s Day just a month away, you definitely don’t want to wait until last minute to shop for a gift for the most important lady in your life. Our moms would do almost anything for us… so why not show them just how special they are by creating a personalized photo frame with sublimation?

I decided to go with a blank 8×10 picture frame, which has an offset opening for a 6×4″ photo so that the frame can be rotated horizontal or vertical to place the opening in a different position. This frame has a thick beveled edge, and comes in black.

After creating a “wood” background and custom text in Photoshop, I mirrored my design and then printed to our Virtuoso Sg400 sublimation printer, using an 8.5×11″ sheet of Texprint paper. After pressing for 60 seconds at 400° Fahrenheit with the TransPro 15×15 heat press, my frame is complete… it’s that easy! Now just toss in your favorite photo of you and your mama, and VOILA!
