SAVE MONEY, Game changer for alcohol inks

- Опубліковано 8 чер 2021
- Does the price of Yupo paper hold you back from exploring with your alcohol inks? Do you want to try new techniques with alcohol inks but you are afraid to waste paper? I found a paper that is 1/2 the cost of yupo paper.... I just needed to see if the quality would be there. So I put both papers to the test! The results may surprise you!

I love to do it all. I share a lot of mixed media projects. I love using a lot of different mixed media techniques. I also love stamping and card making. - Навчання та стиль
I have been using the grafix craft plastic for a year or so. It even comes in a black version for use with neon colors and shimmery colors. Huge fan of this product. Thanks for posting 😁
OOhhh.... I will have to get the black! Thank you for watching and telling me about the black!! Sounds like so much fun!
WOW!!!!that’s amazing results, especially with how clean it becomes, ensuring a lot less waste. Thanks for this!
Holy cow, I have some of this for a different project, I never thought of using alcohol inks on it! Thank YOU!!!!🥰
Thank you so much Tiffany, that’s really really useful and helpful too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Hi I just subscribed and love this channel! What a great tip for saving money! I’m an alcohol ink virgin, have tons of it but was always intimidated, thanks for busting open my shell!
Awesome! Thanks for showing!
How awesome!! I'm down to my last 3 yuppo papers and most def will try out the craft plastic! Thx for sharing. ❤
Love it ... Thanks for the heads up and trial. I have tons of alcohol inks and love them.... just very very seldom use them.
Wow thank you sooo much for sharing this!
Thank you for the tip on this new 'paper' for alcohol inks!!🖒
i use photography paper from my local supermarket always great results
I love the opaque white and opaque black craft plastic.
WooHoo I love this, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you!!! Great content.
I've used Yupo and Nara and tend to fly through those because I'm relatively new to alcohol ink techniques. Just purchased mine through your link and can't wait to give it a try as an alternative means for practicing. Thank you for sharing!
I have to limit myself when I want to try new techniques or a color combo because yupo is so expensive and like you I would fly through them..... I could use 10 sheets in just an hour LOL. Now with the cheaper paper I won't be so hesitant. Thanks so much for watching and using my link... Happy crafting! If you have social media I would love to see what you create...
So glad you posted this!! I’ve been afraid to experiment!! TYFS!! ❤️🦋💜
Yes same. I always felt restricted because I didn't want to use up all the paper lol. Thanks so much for watching. Glad you found it helpful!
Wow - thank you for this Tiffany. What a game changer for me. I appreciate you bringing this to us.
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
Great information! Thank you!!!
Yes, that Grafix craft plastic is a great alternative for yupo paper. I love it.
Oh Wow! That’s awesome 🤩
that such a cool find Tiffany, awesome tips on both papers and the Grapix went through the test brilliantly, I think you've covered it all, tfs💕😍
Thanks so much! I am glad it was helpful!
Hello Gerry, how are you doing?
I also use this paper. It is a great find!
Thanks for sharing this video again. I watched it and yes, the craft plastic paper is much better. But I am also glad you showed we have to use a hairdryer instead! Big bonus too. For me, cause I am taking the Card Maker Summit in Feb. I cannot wait to see what you come up with. Thank you again it is always appreciated. We all want to make great crafts.
Nice!! I will be doing a alcohol ink class for the summit! 😊 the card reveal will be soon!
Awesome. Thanks
Thank you 😊
Thank you. Thinking about purchasing some alcohol inks and had no idea about the paper. Good info to have!
Thank you for sharing this more affordable option with us, Tiffany! Great demo! God bless, Maranda
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks a lot for inlight my eyes to these grafic sheets. Does it comes in black?
Thanks a lot
Tova
Thanks so much Tiffany!!! It was very helpful!!! This was an awesome video!!!
You are very welcome. Thanks so much!
Super great tutorial
LOVE this Tiffany!!! Yupo has held me back. Now maybe I'll actually use my alcohol inks....lol. !!! 🤣🤣🤣😘😘
Great video thank you
Great video! TFS!
What a great video, thank you soooooo much! I have alcohol inks but have never used them after my first failures, this product will give me the confidence to experiment!
What a great discovery! Thanks for testing this out for us!
No problem. Glad I could help. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hello Arryth,
How are you doin?
Ohhhhh! I gotta get some! I use a grafix paper for alcohol inks but not this one. Thanks for sharing!
Oh nice! Which one do you use? Thanks so much for watching!
omg thank you so much for this awesome info Tiffany. I was able to find it here in Canada and have placed an order :)
Where did you find it in Canada
Best paper ever for alcohol inks.
Wow.... Unbelievable!!
Thank you so much for sharing Tiffany.
You are very welcome. Do you use alcohol inks? Thanks for stopping by!
@@Tiffany.Solorio I did in the passed. However it was very hard to get my hands on Isopropyl.
I use Grafix as well. An Amazon reviewer recommended it for alcohol inks, which is how I initially heard about it. It's thinner than the Yupo paper, but work's great for far less money.
Yes. It is thinner. I use it mainly for card projects so I don’t mind. Thank you for watching.
amazing video!! love that paper. so worth it for the quality and price!
It really is! Thanks so much Keren!
Thanks for the info. Interesting
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it!
WOW! Thank you for your fantastic video - you're a gem! Thanks, Marta from New Zealand
This is an awesome find! I have recently purchased an alcohol starter kit but was hesitant because of the cost of Yupo paper. Now, thanks to you I can buy this affordable paper. PS...Just subscribed. TFS
Did you end up trying the paper? Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it!
@@Tiffany.Solorio Sorry, Tiffany, not yet. I have been swamped with medical issues and just plain life. Thanks for asking though. I hope to get back to crafting soon.
Nice comparison!!! side by side I still prefer the way alcohol inks move and look on Yupo paper but for a cheaper surface to practice on this is a GREAT alternative - Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! I didn’t notice a difference. But I do it for fun. LOL! When I think of using it on a card or something the price of yupo just doesn’t make me excited to use my alcohol inks.
Wow!! What a great find! I love that idea of never ending practice paper 😂😂 I think alcohol inks are SO gorgeous, but I haven’t bought or tried them yet because of the fumes, don’t have a great set up for dealing with that yet.
Never ending practice paper.... now I need a cheaper alcohol ink alternative hahaha... Yes the fumes can be a bit much. Thanks so much for watching.
I have used the craft plastic but my favorite is mineral paper, it's made out of rock! It's a bit thinner but is easy to die cut and can be heat embossed with no warping, plus it feels velvety.
😮 I’ve never even heard of that!
I have never heard of that. I will look into it. Thank you!
I have never heard of that. It sounds fascinating
I’ve used just glossy cardstock. It’s usually available at stationery stores & printers. ❤️🇦🇺
Oh nice! I will have to try it. Thank you.
I always used krome kote from Marco’s Paper. You wont be able to erase it, but you can hear it.
I found some Brea Reese rolls of paper for 6.99, I think it was 12x24, for $6.99 at Tuesday morning. On the label it says “compare to yupo”. *I haven’t tried it yet* but if you’re interested check out the vinyl roll buckets at your Tuesday morning-that’s where it’s hiding 🤗I also bought her ink which they had many many colors!
Ooohhh nice!! That is a great deal! I will have to see where there is a Tuesday morning. Thanks so much for the heads up!
Good to know.
What a great find, Tiffany! I am gonna have to see if I can find it in the UK! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Hi there. Did u manage to find anything similar in the U.K?
@@asiyahussain5484 I found Craft Plastic in the UK, but when I checked about a year ago, it was about the same price as Yupo unfortunately, so I struggle to see the benefit in switching.
Lots of people use (the reverse side of?) photo paper for very similar results to Yupo at a fraction of the price. I think Nina Ribena's channel did a comparison ages ago.
Thanks for the video
Try ACM, it's even better!!
Thank you for this tip. I use Kirkland photo paper. So much less expensive than Yupo.
I see you were using Alcohol Blending Solution to remove the ink. If you use Isopropyl Alcohol it would probably clear it in one try. Plus it much less expensive than blending solution.
Hi!!!! Thanks for this video y love it. Can ethyl alcohol be used for alcohol inks and what percentage?
Hello Tiffany, I watched quite a few of your videos and now I have a question. It’s regarding the hair dryer, well it’s actually a curling combo. I recognize the one you use it’s the Conair. I used that myself first and I liked it because it didn’t blow very hard, but even on the cool setting it still blows warm,and I didn’t like that because it dried the alcohol too fast. Then I started using a different one, I saw many other people using it, the Revlon curling/brush combo. This is a little stronger (500 watts,the Conair is 300 watts) so it blows harder,not very much,but same as the Conair this one also blows warm air even on the cool setting. Maybe less than the Conair,but still warmer than room temperature, more than just warmish. I’m still using the Revlon, but don’t like the warm because it dries the alcohol too fast, especially I live in Florida,so here mostly it’s hot and humid, although of course I use the A/C. But no matter how much I looked I can’t find a better one. So, I wanted to ask you, how you deal with that? It doesn’t bother you that it’s warm air? The paper,yes I am using the Grafix Opaque now for a long time, but there is another very good paper, NARA, I like it even better. When it first came out on Amazon about 2 years ago it was very cheap, now it’s more expensive,but still cheaper than Yupo,and the ink lifts even better than on the Grafix. Tiffany I enjoy your videos, let me know how you deal with the dryer. Thank you 😊
Wow!!!!!
I use plastic poster board it's 2 dollars for a 18x30 sheet from Michaels
Other question, can i used Grafix Opaque Craft Plastic White, 9 x 12”, this is more white, i need super white. Thank you.
🔆WOW!!!🔆
Thanks for stopping by!
Can you share a link to the Copic refill inks please?
Love Graphix Craft Plastic! I've been using and demoing with it for three or more years now. It is my favorite substrate for alcohol ink. It is definitely a lot less expensive and so great to work with. If you don't use high heat, you can basically heat this plastic all day and it won't warp. I did a heat comparison at one of the stamping shows I where I was demoing alcohol inks and added the same amount of lower heat (but still high enough for embossing) to a piece of Yupo along side a piece of the Graphix Craft Plastic on and off all day and by the end of the day the Graphix was still flat and the Yupo was warped into a ball.
Which is best for die cutting? That is the frustrating part.
You kept saying iso alcohol but the bottle you used was blending solution. Which one was it? I am looking into the new paper.
So sorry about that. It is iso alcohol. I refilled it with it when I was out of blending solution. I hope that helps. Thanks so much! In this video right here I share lots of tips... just like how I refilled the blending solution bottle. ua-cam.com/video/SNBn1df5FGI/v-deo.html
What holds you back from using a particular medium? Or trying new techniques?
Money, plain and simple. I’ve got all of my art supply money in alcohol inks (I just re-swatched my collection and I have 66 bottles, not including duplicates). I’ve been using the 18 cent tiles from Lowes and I rarely touch my yupo paper. I’m definitely excited to try the Graphix option!
Love your channel & all you do for the crafting community! Thank you! I just ordered through your link as I just started playing with alcohol inks. I have tried 3 different blow dryers, all too hot & dried inks too quickly. Which one do you use/recommend? Thanks!😊
I just found this one and it is for sure my favorite. It's amazing! I will be doing a video soon to compare all the tools we could use. But this is the one I love. amzn.to/3vamj8N
@@Tiffany.Solorio Thank you so much! I saw your other video where you had just purchased it but I wasn't sure you would like it! I just ordered it w/your link as well😊 Any suggestions as to cheap iso alcohol? Thanks so much!!💕
@@anyatoledo4751 We happened to see some I think at Target. It is for sure a hit or miss these days.. well for the past year for sure. I only grabbed one bottle but I wish I had got more. I feel guilty getting it for crafting when people are using it to disinfect things lol. I hope you find some soon. Just keep looking.
Okay, thanks so much! I'll keep searching!🥰
Thanks for the Target tip!! I found some there this week & it was cheaper than on Amazon!!!! 🥰
information in the video. I would be happy for clarification on deleting the ink from the sheet. You say you use rubbing alcohol, but in the video I see alcohol blending Solution which is a diffrent product. Which of the two I should use? And if you use rubbing alcohol - which %? (+ I just want to be sure it's not isopropyl alcohol)
Yes. So sorry about that. I use isopropyl alcohol in a blending solution bottle. It is 91% I hope that helps.
@@Tiffany.Solorio Thank you so much! Now it makes sense 😘
Try Matt photo paper does an awesome job
SAt the end did you say there is no need to seal when using the plasticote ?
Yes.... as far as it rubbing off from handling it. But if you want it to be an art piece then I would.
Take note yupo!!
As Yupo and others are far too expensive, I use flat plastic from the recycle-bin...and it' s really a cheek, that companies sell this piece of plastic at that priece !!!
I've tried a few other mediums but I'm always disappointed with the colors that have kind of a "dual color" to them...like when the alcohol lightens them. (kind of hard to explain) So far Yupo is the only paper those work best on. But I HATE how expensive it is. It makes trying to practice on even a small piece so nerve-wracking.
Do you know what im talking about with the colors that are kind of multi-dimensional, that work really well on Yupo? Do they work the same on this paper?
Oh! Also do you know if they make larger sizes than the 12x12 ❓ I'm not seeing any on Amazon, but I could just be missing it.
Has anyone used glossy photo paper for alcohol inks?
I am from Germany. For what is craft plastic for so that i can search it in Germany
Have you found this in a larger size?
No. Only the 12x12. It would be nice to have larger pieces for art.

I have tried three times to download the pdf file on Ultimate Guide to Alcohol Ink and it NEVER downloads. Perhaps you have taken it off but kept the video and link up. Very frustrating. Otherwise, your videos are great and your comments about techniques and tools very helpful.
Can you email me? tiffany@tiffanysolorio.com
Sorry... another question... where do you get your iso alcohol? I ordered 97% from Amazon but it's expensive..... any suggestions? Thanks again!💕
Walmart
Did you know you can use metho as a blending solution? A lot cheaper than the Blending solution.
Not sure what metho is?
@@Tiffany.Solorio Methylated spirits.
Suggest me which paper is best..?
I personally like the craft plastic but many people like yupo.
@@Tiffany.Solorio ok jazakAllah ❤️
I've seen several videos using poster board instead of Yupo. Why don't you give that a try, too?
I had no idea that you could wipe off the ink and redo you piece...i threw two pieces away today because i hated the way it turned out...sigh
