Hi Bloggers! Say hello to
Yupo Paper, as that's what I have used here! I started with a piece of
white Yupo paper and used
Red Pepper alcohol ink with a smidge of
Cool Peri for depth. I used the inks on a
Ranger Felt Applicator and applied it to the paper until the entire background was covered. The
Yupo paper works with the alcohol inks to create lovely patterns. Next I cut the
Lattice poinsettia Background die out of the centre of it. I backed it with a piece of
coconut white card covered with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I attached it to the die cut then added
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the remaining exposed adhesive areas for a bit of bling. I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles to create a thin white frame around the centre cut out area. I cut the
Tis The Season sentiment out of
Antique Gold and Gold Mirror card. I used the mirror card behind as a shadow and glued it into place in the centre of the poinsettias on the background. I completed the card with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 3/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue, lovely traditional deep red colours using a card stock I've not tried. It certainly does look good on today's card. Thank you for sharing xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, what a stunning card, love the alcohol inked background. Yupo paper is great to work with, just fairly pricey, so use it sparingly. Have a great day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue. I wonder why I've not seen you use this Yupo paper, I'm intreaged and need to research this. Oh, I treated myself to some frosty Glitter Bits last week and they are stunning so intense if you adore bling, so I can imagin the glitz and glitter shine that comes from this sample is immense. I really love the look of your Lattice Poinsettia die, I held my breath earlier in the week when you explained where you were snipping away bits to make the white tone on tone sample lol but to see it in full with the beautiful shades of ink really brings the beauty out in the design it's really pretty. Not only did I make a cutsie Gingerbread mummy and daughter card yesterday I also mixed some of your later festive dies with Lisa's cute Santa and her festive window die to make a card for a little 3yr old boy and his daddy, so it shows just how versatile the CE teams die designs can all come together to make a fun festive card. So thanks to you Sue for your beautiful inspiration, not only for today but for the samples from years gone by that still help today. Hope you have a more 'restful' day and hope it's a good one xxx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well this is a new one on me, never heard of yupo paper, it looks very impressive, so will have to check this out.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteOh what a beauty. That colour is amazing. The poinsettia background is fast.becoming one of my favourite Christmas dies. To snip it of not to snip it - that is the question!
Yupo paper is not like anything else. I stumbled across some demonstrations on you tube and was fascinated. Then you had some at Ally Pally and showed me what it could - it is one of those wow products.
Happy Wednesday everyone

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card featuring the Lattice Poinsettia Background die again. No matter how the die is used, it's always a winner. The background featured here is amazing. The effect of the alcohol inks on the Yupo is amazing, that's something that I have to try.
Have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteStriking card which I love. I’ve seen demos with Yupo paper but never actually used it. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteStunning card, the alcohol inks on Yupo paper are amazing but sadly I don’t have either of them to try this out. Something else to add to the wish list me thinks
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou've made my grey and dismal day come to life with this card. It is BEAUTIFUL, FABULOUS and just up my street.
Hugs, Rose
Lovely - I really *must* use my precious stash of Yupo :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Need to try the Yupo paper!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Sue. Thank you. Have some Yupo paper but haven’t tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Love the effects achieved with Yupo.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. I am a big fan of yupo paper. Yupo paper is again on my Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteI generally squeeze droplets of alcohol inks onto the yupo paper. Sometimes I use a drinking straw to blow the ink around on the yupo being careful not to inhale too much of the fumes. I have not tried the canned air yet for another effect. I get mesmerized by the action of the inks on this paper. Sometimes I just don't know when to quit with the droplets because I am having such fun. I have used glossy paper when I am out of yupo. Seems to have a similar reaction as the yupo.
I love yupo paper this looks lovely with the poinsettia
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card,the Yupo paper looks interesting I've never seen it before but looks gorgeous on your card
Love the die you have used today.
Best wishes

I love Yupo paper and the alcohol inks and this one is a fine example, so pretty, together with the glittery background, a stunning card, thank you Sue....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, what a beautiful card, red and gold looks so classy together. Love and hugs Brenda xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like Yupo paper. Very fun to play with. A friend brought the Ranger Lift Ink pad for us to play with on Yupo and that was interesting also. I still reserve my alcohol inks mainly for "Caught in Crystal" which I learned here!
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful. I am always a little reserved with glitter but it always looks great on your cards.
A great day, everyone,
Stephanie K
Hi Sue, this card is beautiful and I love it lots. I have a memory of you showing Yupo paper on one of your Hochanda shows, I think Hayley was presenting and she was as intrigued as I was. I have not yet bought any but going by the previous comments I think I really should as I do enjoy playing with my alcohol inks.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Finally got my internet back so just want to say I love all your cards from this week. I have this die, it is lovely. Didn’t we see you , or Julia on Hochanda with the yupo paper? Stay warm and dry Sue.xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely red Christmas card.
