Alex's Jungle Friends

Hi bloggers, today we want to share with you some of the sample cards from Alex's class a few weeks ago, featuring the adorable Jungle Friends stamp set from Stampendous.

Alex created some wonderful cards with these new stamps, using watercolour pencils to effectively shade and colour in these friendly characters.

Mix these stamps with the new Stampendous Popcessories die set and you will be creating some pop up fun with these characters.

Ink it Up with Tim Holtz Yupo Paper

Hi bloggers, today we are looking back at Charry's Ink It Up class from last week using Tim Holtz's new Yupo paper. Yupo paper is a versatile surface especially suited for alcohol ink and mixed media techniques. This smooth, synthetic surface is 86lb heavyweight that resists buckling and dries quickly.

In the 2 hour class Charry encouraged everyone to experiment with using the alcohol inks with the Yupo paper to practise creating patterns before working on some backgrounds to use on a card.

The backgrounds can be anything from geometric patterns and shapes to creating beautiful landscapes.

To find Tim Holtz Yupo paper on the Crafts U Love website, please click here. The Yupo paper comes in a pack of 10 sheets and is available in white and translucent.
