HTVRONT Easy Press Heat Press Machine Review

March 8, 2022 by Heather Holbrook

HTVRONT Easy Press Heat Press Machine Review

The HTVRONT Heat Press is an iron press that makes it quick and easy to apply heat vinyl to fabric surfaces for custom designs like T-shirts and Tote Bags. It measures 10″ x 10″ to cover large areas for even heating in one go (so you don’t need to move the iron), the handles stay cool, it heats up quickly, has adjustable temperature settings and an auto off for safety. It also comes with a safety base to protect surfaces when you’re not using the Heat Press

Using an electronic die cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette you can create and cut out your own designs or purchase images to cut from iron on vinyl.

HTVRONT Easy Press Heat Press Machine Review

The machine comes with a canvas storage bag and was the perfect item to test for my first project. Since I love Harry Potter I used a few images cut with my Silhouette Portrait from the HTVRONT Silver Glitter Vinyl. Don’t forget to flip images, especially letters. After cutting the images I weeded the design by pealing away the unwanted parts of the vinyl (having a pick tool helps with this), leaving the designs on the clear plastic background sheet. I heated up the Heat Press, ironed the bag so the surface was smooth and placed the image face down on the bag. Overtop I placed a piece of baking paper (you can also use a Teflon sheet) and then pressed the images for 20 seconds (the vinyl you use should have recommended heat temperatures and times) and then placed the Heat Press into the safety base and let my project cool for 45 seconds. After cooling the backing paper peeled off easily and left me with some amazing glittery designs! I’m so happy with the results! My designs transferred cleanly on the first try and it was super fast and easy!

10 Fall Leaves Scrapbook Layout Templates for Cosy Autumn Memory Keeping

There’s just something magical about scrapbooking in autumn. Even if you’re nowhere near crunchy leaves and pumpkin patches, the colours, textures, and cosy vibes of fall somehow sneak their way into our craft rooms. I always find myself reaching for warm tones, kraft cardstock, textured papers, and anything that feels a little earthy and nostalgic.

To celebrate all those beautiful autumn stories waiting to be told, I’ve created a brand new set of 10 Fall Leaves scrapbook layout templates. These are single-page designs, perfect for 1–2 photos, and each one features a mix of realistic leaves, whimsical doodle leaves, bold graphic shapes, pumpkins, acorns, and autumn clusters. It’s a lovely blend of styles so scrapbookers can pick the look that fits their story best.

These layouts work beautifully for:
• fall family photos
• pumpkin patch visits
• leaf-raking (or leaf-jumping!) moments
• harvest festivals
• Thanksgiving pages
• cosy indoor snapshots
• scenic autumn walks
• pets in leaves (always adorable)
• autumn crafting sessions
• back-to-school or early school-year memories

Here’s a closer look at the 10 layouts included:

––––––––––––––––––––––
Layout 1 – Layered Circles + Leaf Cluster
A warm, balanced layout with bold shapes and a leafy bundle at the base.

Layout 2 – Tall Photo With Leaf Spray & Acorns
Natural, slightly rustic — perfect for outdoor snapshots.

Layout 3 – Side-by-Side Photos with Graphic Leaves
A clean, modern take on autumn storytelling.

Layout 4 – Vertical Rainbow Arc + Pile of Leaves
A fun mash-up of geometric and organic elements.

Layout 5 – Pumpkin Accent + Soft Doodle Leaves
Ideal for pumpkin patch or Halloween-adjacent photos without being “Halloween themed.”

Layout 6 – Classic Leaf Borders + Title Ribbon
A timeless and flexible autumn page that works with any colour scheme.

Layout 7 – Big Bundle of Leaves + Journaling Strip
Perfect when you have a longer story to tell — fall always brings those reflective moments.

Layout 8 – Acorns + Layered Arches
Cosy, earthy, and great for quiet or sentimental layouts.

Layout 9 – Pumpkin + Falling Leaves Cluster
A sweet, slightly whimsical option with lots of visual movement.

Layout 10 – Graphic Leaf Corners + Clean Centre Photo
Simple, modern, and very adaptable — it’s a great “go-to” autumn sketch.

––––––––––––––––––––––
How to Use These Fall Leaves Sketch Templates

  • Mix kraft + white cardstock for a crisp autumn look
    • Use distress inks or chalk ink to add soft shading behind the leaves
    • Add real stitching or faux stitching around the circles and borders
    • Stamp leaves or acorns to extend the clusters further
    • Try tone-on-tone leaf shapes for a layered, textured feel
    • Use patterned papers in oranges, rusts, plums, and warm neutrals
    • Rotate the sketches for completely new layout possibilities

Autumn pages have a nostalgia to them that just feels good to scrapbook. These cosy leaf-focused sketches are designed to help you capture that warmth and make your photos shine — even if your “fall” looks more like a warm afternoon with iced coffee and air conditioning (hello from Australia).

If you use these sketches, tag CraftGossip on social media — I absolutely love seeing how your seasonal layouts come to life.
