Jennifer this technique is completely new to me. I never knew about this paper...I love your cards and their special effects..thanks Jennifer...love it.
I just enjoy your videos so much. I am a visual person but once I get inspired I am able to go in my own direction. I have been so motivated by you and using all my things....thank you. Little tip when using acetate and embossing powder, if you have unwanted embossing powder after you heat set it you can use a blending stump to remove unwanted embossing powder. Little pressure rubbing it and wipe away any smudge, has saved me many times. Thank you Jennifer for the inspiration it coming, I have so much to use :)
Not only do I look forward to the Hero Arts kits every month, but also to see what you will do with it. You always think out of the box and inspire us to do the same. I've never used yupo but now I might! Thanks for sharing!
Love the tips for embossing the frame and gluing sequins onto the background. I was so disappointed with the one shaker card that I made, because everything just sat at the bottom of the card, that I never made another one. Gluing some to the background will really make a difference. TFS!
Beautiful technique on Yupo paper! I just ordered the girly-girl kit and am looking forward to playing with it soon and being inspired by your video. Thank you! 👗👠👑
I did a "playing with alcohol inks" workshop once, we also used yupo paper. One technique we did was make a dark background with alcohol ink, let it dry for a bit. Then use a stamp, and quickly while it away to make a ghost image. I'm actually very surprised it's inexpensive for you, because here in the Netherlands it's relatively pricey.
These really turned out nice, and I'm totally loving that HA stamp set - I LOVED playing with Fashion Plates growing up! Thanks for another great video Jennier :)
Wow...I never knew how best to use this yup of paper. I just order the Hero Arts April set... Can't wait to try this technic with my copics. As always you are the QUEEN of Technics!
I finally made the decision to order Yupo Paper as I don't seem to be able to get xpress card anymore . I loved your video I have had Copics for 8 years and still not confident with them As I am an alone crafter so never been to a class , I loved the background techniques you used , Love love love your cards...
I remember using glossy cardstock with alcohol inks several years ago (who am I kidding, more like 10-15 years ago! Ha!). I still have a lot of glossy cardstock and I think I'm going to bring it out and play. So much easier with copics. We also used sponges to make interesting patterns. This was a wonderful refresher for me. I see some interesting backgrounds in my future! 😊
Thank you so much for ideas on using this month's Hero Arts kit. When I saw the kit reveal today, I was...well...disappointed. I do not naturally gravitate towards the style of images in the kit and was at a loss as to how I would use them. Thanks for the rescue! I REALLY like the cards that you made. The images, heat embossed on acetate, look great and I love that you made shaker cards with them. Thanks, too, for the information on yupo. I had been wondering what it was and how to use it. Have a good day, Jennifer and thanks again.
I was wondering what Yupo paper was used for. I recalled That you spoke about it before but couldn't remember exactly how to use it! Thanks for the refresher! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
I love using this paper. I found out about it from Tracy Dutton of Lavinia Stamps...she uses it with alcohol inks and blending solution and the outcome looks great! TFS!!! Blessings!!
I started using alcohol inks quite a while ago. I saw a gentleman light the ink with fire. I have not done that as I tend to be a bit cautious. This would need to be done outside. They recommend you use 91% isopropyl alcohol. This is done on ceramic tiles, but I am still cautious when working with dangerous things. I think I will just watch others use fire and alcohol inks. I'll use a coffee straw as does June Rollins.
Great video. Thanks for all the awesome ideas you share. Where would I find the list of Copic colors you used in your video? I'm sure it's here somewhere, and I'm missing it. Thanks so much!
You can get the same effect using photo printing paper... thats what ive been using as its cheaper then the "branded" stuff Branded = 25 sheets for (approx) £13 photo paper 50 sheets for £4
Really enjoyed the technique. Reading the comments about photo glossy paper, could you rub the alcohol swab over first then use the markers? Just wondering?
You mention that Yupo is really inexpensive. Where do you recommend buying it as I find it very pricey. I've started experimenting with photo paper and have had some comparable results with some brands. I'd like to get Yupo too though. Thanks.
May I ask where would I purchase Yupo paper? I have checked out JoAnn, Michael's and Hobby lobby to no avail. Thank you in advance for the information, Jennifer. I really enjoy and appreciate your video inspiration! Sincerely Katz Baugh (John is my hubby)
Wow, awesome technique! The cards are amazing, love how different all the backgrounds turned out and how fun it looks to play with. I was on the fence with the card kit, you definitely changed my mind! Are the Copic's and embossing powder the only mediums that work well with Yupo, I heard you mention water coloring? I wonder how the oxides would work with it. Thanks for sharing and always inspiring.
Thanks for another great video Jennifer, I have Yupo paper and alcohol markers so I will definitely give this a go. Incidentally, can any of you lovely crafters help me? I appear to have contaminated my white embossing powder which is a shame as I had quite a large amount in a container similar to Jennifer's. I have ordered some more but I don't really want to waste what I have already. Does anyone have any ideas of how to salvage the contaminated powder? Thanks 😊
Helen Fairclough hi,..have you thought about adding mica powder to small amounts as needed and changing it to a coloured (light pastel anyway) embossing powder.As you say it a crime to waste it and I do this quite often as I can't afford loads of different colours. Sorry for butting in on Jennifer's comments. Dawn from the UK
auroradawnikins Thanks Dawn, that is an idea I hadn't thought of, I have lots of mica powders so I could experiment with this. Unfortunately it appears to be black it is mixed with ( it's only a teeny amount because I can't even see it until after the embossing is complete) but I could use deeper blues or purples. Great idea, thanks again x
I am not sure if I can get Yupo papers here in Tasmania (unless I go online and pay heaps of shipping fees) could I substitute Yupo papers with glossy photo papers?
Hi! Love this & new Hero Arts stamps. They are so classy!!! I looked on your web site and could not find this answer. Maybe someone knows & will share. Re: Coptic Markers. I have none. I want the Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Can anyone recommend Copic Numbers for me please??? I like bright colors. Thanks in advance.
Please recycle Yupo properly. Despite having "paper" in its name, it's actually plastic. We all love crafting but it seems unfair to let our hobbies, which as much as we like them are not essential, polute the earth
Tim Holtz .. I did a big piece of typo to cut down into backgrounds using the rectangular tool,and also dripping the ink on in places. When I went back the next day to cut it up the ink was coming off on my hands and made a big mess!!
This was what I was wondering - if the way the various copic inks blend and cover - if they are actually drying? Are they likely to smear if you rub with your fingers before they've had a chance to set?
Hi, I answered this on my phone, but I guess it didn't upload! They are the Tim Holtz ones...I put them on a large yupo page intending to cut them up and use them for backgrounds. When I went back the next day to cut them up the ink came off onto my fingers and made a big mess!! There was still color on the yupo--but I didn't want to chance the background coming off the card after I gave it to someone.

Stefanie Staniak I am wondering the same thing. I still have the glossy paper as well.
Pull out the glossy paper. I tried it today and it was fun to do.

Thanks for very useful tips on how to heat emboss the acetate. Shaker cards are one of my favs to do, and I could not figure out how to do that. :)
Can't wait to get my monthly kit!!! Absolutely love what you've done with it. I got the ballerina die as well!!
I love these cards!
Thanks for the ideas. I have some yup of paper. I am going to try the technique.

awesome n very neat oh boy I'll need to buy more supplies now lol
Such a chic looking technique which works so well with the lovely stamps!! You always inspire me...
Could we use Tombow markers?
Are other brands of Yupo paper the same as the Tim Holtz?
Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
That's Amazing love ❤️ it
You can get the same effect using photo printing paper... thats what ive been using as its cheaper then the "branded" stuff
Branded = 25 sheets for (approx) £13 photo paper 50 sheets for £4
twistmenot thanks for this tip using photo paper, going to try it!
Me too!! I think Yupo is expensive!!
I like you channel Jennifer I am from India state Telangana from hyderabad love you sister
Hi can you tell me what tool you used to pick up the sequins and place them?
Love this. Who makes the retractable x-acto knife you are using? It looks like my kind of x-acto knife if you knew my luck with those things. :)
Really enjoyed the technique. Reading the comments about photo glossy paper, could you rub the alcohol swab over first then use the markers? Just wondering?
Kathy Isgar I would be concerned about the alcohol transferring to my markers with the swab on the paper first
You mention that Yupo is really inexpensive. Where do you recommend buying it as I find it very pricey. I've started experimenting with photo paper and have had some comparable results with some brands. I'd like to get Yupo too though. Thanks.

Thanks for another great video Jennifer, I have Yupo paper and alcohol markers so I will definitely give this a go.

Helen Fairclough you are most welcome,hope you have some good results from your experiments,..:-)
Is that similar to a glossy cardstock? The colors seem to really pop on your cards!
you can do this on glossy but the finish is much different. but you can use it with that!
I am not sure if I can get Yupo papers here in Tasmania (unless I go online and pay heaps of shipping fees) could I substitute Yupo papers with glossy photo papers?
what Acetate do you use?

Is that paper the same as Photo Paper for printing photo's?? xx
no. this is very unique.
Please recycle Yupo properly. Despite having "paper" in its name, it's actually plastic. We all love crafting but it seems unfair to let our hobbies, which as much as we like them are not essential, polute the earth
yes, and it is recyclable.
IS there any alternative to powder tool?
Dryer sheets work well.
Craft Bunny baby powder, flour, cornstarch anything powdery
Love this! but when I use alcohol inks on yupo paper it wipes off after it dries....don't know what I'm doing wrong!!
what alcohol inks?
Tim Holtz .. I did a big piece of typo to cut down into backgrounds using the rectangular tool,and also dripping the ink on in places. When I went back the next day to cut it up the ink was coming off on my hands and made a big mess!!
Yupo not typo!!
This was what I was wondering - if the way the various copic inks blend and cover - if they are actually drying? Are they likely to smear if you rub with your fingers before they've had a chance to set?

will photo paper work?
you can try but i doubt it. crafty glossy paper works but the finish is different.
Jennifer McGuire Ink thanks for the answer. I might try and let you know. I have some high gloss Spectrum Noir paper.
Thank you have a ? Is there a difference between photo glossy paper and this paper?
yuop means
The techinque looks messy after your done. I am not a fan
This is an enlightening vid, but no way Yupo is "very inexpensive." The individual sheets are over a dollar apiece on Amazon.
