Do You YUPO?

Hi friends! Tonight we are going to explore stamping on a plastic paper called YUPO. I was first introduced to this paper 14 years ago and I used it for watercolor but it is really fun to stamp on too!

  1. I had this idea that Yupo paper was just for alcohol inks. I had no idea you could do watercolor on it! Thanks so much for sharing. I am a big fan of the Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets!

  3. Thanks for the link. I just ordered some of the stamps. Woohoo for free shipping. AND, they have 75% off on some of their unmounted stamps. I must be a papercrafter, because I WANT IT ALL!!!

  4. I would love to try this since I also like using alcohol inks and read about it all the time. Unfortunately it’s pretty expensive which is a deterrent for now. Yours came out really lovely!

    1. try an art supplier like Jerry’s artaramam instead of a craft store for a cheaper price, also the lightweight is fine as it does not wrinkle;)
