Yupo Birthday --

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
I'm soooo Excited today!!
Why? Cause I FINALLY got to play
with my Yupo Paper & Alcohol Inks! YAY!

See.... I bought these items the beginning of December
and was hoping to try this NEW TO ME Technique
out while I was on Winter Vacation --
Well... You all know I was sick!! And not a little sick either!
Full blown sick as a puppy, couldn't do much of anything Sick

So you could just imagine how sad I was not to be able
to craft like I had planned! DANG LIFE!! LOL

Anyway, I'm offically back to normal!!!! (whatever that is) LOL
Thanks for all the wonderful comments too - I think they helped!


Anyway - I made 10 different designs! I can't wait to share them
with you - but for now I'll just share 1

Isn't the background cool?? Okay, maybe it's just me?

I think the thing I like most about the Yupo paper is

that I can make 2 projects with 1 sheet or just 1 project -

AND how each design is different than the next --

In this case - I took 1 5x7 sheet of Yupo paper and 

4 Alcohol Ink Colors (Wild Plum, Butterscotch, 

Stream & Silver Mixative) & blended them together

using a blending tool - Once I was happy with how

my design looked, I just put it aside to dry and worked 

on other colors & designs -

Then I decided I wanted to make a tag with a 

piece of this paper, so I die cut out the Wavy

Shape - It cuts perfectly through your Big Shot Machine!!

Then I cut another piece of the Wavy Shape with White Cardstock

so I could cover the back side of my tag --

Then I pulled out the Four Layer Cake Stamp

& stamped on top of my yupo paper with some versamark ink

Then I took out some Super Fine White Embossing powder

& heated up my image -- I was careful not to keep the heat

on my paper to long - I didn't want to ruin anything --

I then pulled out the Happy Birthday (3989-B) Sentiment

stamp and stamped that on a scrap piece of white

cardstock in Starlite Silver Ink (Brilliance)

I heated that a little to make sure it was dry before

sending it through my Big Shot with that

Stitched Banner die -- 

I adhered the sentiment right onto my tag

and then added some clear adhesive gems to glam it up!

I found some matching ribbon and a piece of

Silver twine to tie the whole thing together!

I'm so happy I finally tried this!!
