Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I haven't posted for a while...I was out of town...
I drove a long, long time going to Missouri and coming back here...and I got sick! Can't do that anymore! Too old for that! haha

Anyway, I used Yupo paper + alcohol inks + blending solution for the die cut doily. It didn't cut all the way (the details inside), but that's what I wanted.


I die cut the same doily on a 4" x 5.25" white panel. I stamped sentiment and adhered it on the card.
I added the Yupo paper doily in the negative space, for an in-laid look.
Finally, I added the die cut dragonflies from SU! (using Club Scrap Delft yellow cardstock).

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Have you tried Yupo papers yet? They are 100% recyclable, waterproof, tree-free synthetic paper...basically plastic that will hold ink!
A few months ago, I got some Yupo paper in my Club Scrap Color Me Happy Kit...and I played with it a little bit, trying to figure out what worked best...

I tried Distress Stains, but I have to retry it...didn't really turned out the way I wanted...
And, of course, I tried alcohol inks!
They work great on Yupo paper, just like they work on glossy paper!


I used yellow and blue + blending solution + white alcohol inks for the panel above.
I die cut it with STAMPlorations die and added a white ribbon before adhering the panel to the card base.
I cut a wreath using Flower Market CTMH Cricut cartridge (you can see it HERE), adhered half on the card and outlined it with green markers. Then, I adhered the other half on.
I cut out some succulents from a printed paper (Club Scrap Succulents Collection), and adhered them on card (the lighter one with foam tape).
Finally, I added some sequins.

I'll be back next week with some panels + stamping...so, please, check back!
