Using Adhesive Yupo Paper with Alcohol inks

Hi everyone, Adriana back here today for Couture Creations and today I am showcasing all things you can do with Couture Creations

ADHESIVE YUPO PAPER CO727341



I have many requests about how to create with this product, so I thought I do a blog post and video with all the different ways to incorporate this product in your paper craft projects..

I love doing art journalling, but when creating with Alcohol Inks unfortunately the papers in my journal are not suitable with Alcohol inks, BUT adding and using the Adhesive Yupo paper to the pages of my existing journal, I then can add alcohol inks by using Adhesive Yupo papers.

The Adhesive Yupo paper is available in A4 size but can be trimmed to any size smaller than this.

I show you all how to add the adhesive Yupo paper inside the are journal with no crinkles or folds. 

This works perfectly every time.



Using the new Metallic Alloys Alcohol Inks on the Adhesive yupo paper, inside my art journal.

Also the Adhesive yupo papers are great just cut out with your die cuts. I show you how to do this in my video as well.

How to use the negative piece of your Adhesive Yupo papers.

NOTE: when cutting die cuts with Adhesive yupo MAKE SURE THAT THE DIE in on top of the YUPO side not the backing pull off side... or it will not cut through.




and also how to use it as a masking technique on normal yupo paper.



All these techniques are in my short video below, so grab a cuppa and sit back and watch me create,

SWEEPING PLAINS COLLECTION 
teamed up together with the New
THE GIFT OF GIVING

papers, dies, ephemera and stamping to create my Australiana Christmas Cards..

I created a couple of them, some are really easy and some involve a little bit of
stamping and layering.

The ephemera collection

sentiments to add to any cards..

I also added a CO727920 The Gift of Giving MERRY CHRISTMAS die cut with Vintage Gold Mirror board in the top right hand corner.





Here are two more cards using Papers for the background from the 6.6 x 6.5 small paper pad from the SWEEPING PLAINS collection and just adding the word ephemera sentiment collection from the Sentiments collection of the - The gift of Giving - Ephemera set CO727908.
