and then I would be like Nah forget about it! LOL

I still have projects done I haven't shared so

Rainbow Yupo Birthday

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone!

A while ago I watched a Jennifer McGuire

video on the Alcohol pearl inks - Which I own of course 😉

She was showing different ways to color on yupo paper

So, of course, I tried out a bunch of crazy designs -

I'm sure you can imagine that I have a stack sitting here 

on my desk that I need to get used up on some cards

So this last week I went ahead and used only

1 of the sheets I designed! What only 1?

What is wrong with you Theresa? Don't know?

I promise I'll use them! 😊

Anywho - the one sheet I did use I got to make

3 cards out of it! WHAT? 3 cards! Why yes I did!

Here's the first card I made with my

alcohol pearl inks in a rainbow design

It looks so cool and shimmery in real life! 

You guys know I'm heading back to work

which means I need Birthday cards for the Staff -

I also broke my promise of trying not to buy more crafting supplies -

I DID purchase that AMAZING die that I'm in LOVE WITH! Could

you really be in love with a die? Well... I AM!!! I've made 4 cards using this

awesome die! (At least you know I'm getting my monies worth!) 😂😂

Here is the inside of course... I even sliced a piece of the yupo paper 

to add inside the card - Again - getting my monies worth! YESS!!! 😁

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!!
