Injket Image Transfers

The cool peeps at Photojojo got inspired by our post about Craft Chi's inkjet transfer stamping and created their own version using photos with their inkjet image transfers tutorial. I love the idea to transfer photos to a Moleskine notebook cover.

Inkjet Transfer Stamping

Amy at Craft Chi has a tutorial on inkjet transfer stamping -- a way you can create your own stamps by using your inkjet printer to transfer the stamp onto your paper crafts project.
Amy writes:
Have you ever wanted to make a rubber stamp from a digital image or text? It’s easy to mimic the look of a rubber stamp using your inkjet printer. Simply print your image or text onto a smooth, non-absorbent paper and transfer onto a receiving surface while the ink is still wet.

3-D Origami Finger Puppet

I just finished up a fun, quick craft tutorial on the HP wiki, the Bunny Hop 3-D origami finger puppet. Just download the pre-printed origami paper and fold away. You can also make a cute bear or puppy. It's the perfect project for kids to make too.
I'm also excited to announce that HP will be at the Maker Faire (May 3 - 4)! At the HP booth, you'll be able to get hands on and make some fun printable craft projects like the 3-D origami finger puppets, crafty cards, photo matchbooks, and more! Kids can also get a free photo taken with Po from the movie "Kung Fu Panda". Visit the HP booth when you are at the fair and get ready to get your craft on!
