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
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,

Until next time
