Hey everyone!
Ready for another Iron Craft episode? Good. You better be! Because I really stalked my guest today and bothered her till she gave in and said yes for an Iron Craft episode 😛 Her work is always exceptional and I’m so happy she did her first video interview with me!
My guest today is the madly talented Iwona Palamountain, popularly known as Chupa! Watch the video for an explanation of how she got her nickname; a chat about her other hobbies and some uber cuteness because of my other guest in the video 😉
Chupa and I used the same ingredients today for our crafting together session! We used the Penny Black Poppy Time stamp set and the matching Penny Black Sun Catcher stencil.
Here is what we both came up with! My card on the left and Chupa’s on the right. I love Chupa’s card with all her lovely textures and colors!!
Today Penny Black is sponsoring our giveaway! Thanks PB!!
One lucky winner will get a copy of the same stamp set and stencil that Iwona and I used today! To win, just leave a comment here answering the question Chupa asked in the video interview! Here is her question for you again…
Who would you like to see as the next muse in CASE Study?
If you are not familiar with CASE Study, go take a look! Its a fun challenge that Chupa runs! And ofcourse your suggested muse may actually show up in CASE Study. Perhaps also as an Iron Crafter 😉 So choose wisely!
Beautiful cards!!! LOVE that stamp set – so pretty! I don’t know if you’ve ever had Debby Hughes as a muse – but she would be fabulous!!!

Thank you for introducing yet another inspiring paper crafter. I would like to see how many different ways people can use a stencil. Whether it be using distress inks, embossing pastes, distress paints or whatever. It would be great to get some more uses out of stencils. Thanks!

Nice to meet you Chupa! Both cards were very pretty. The two people I would love to see as a muse are Bibiana of StampingwithBibiana, she does various mixed media, stencils with various materials, die cutting and beautiful stamping. The second person is Kittie
Caracciola of KittieKraft her work is mesmerizing to me, the scenes this woman creates with die cuts, stamps and various paints is like pictures to hang on your wall, beautiful.
Beth Holt above, visit Bibiana for some great stencil techniques.

I was one of the lucky ducks who got to attend the crafty retreat with Iwona earlier this year – so happy to see you on Iron Craft, Chupa! I just went through the list of previous muses, and so many of my crafty crushes have already been muses!! How about one of the ladies from the craft retreat? You’ve already had Joy, how about Teresa, Jenny D, Suzanne or Debbie for their mad Copic skills? Or Lyndal or Jenny M or Cecilia for their cool design skills? Or Angelique for her amazing CAS style?

Thank you again, Chaitali, for your amazing interview with an incredibly talented artist (a category you fall into as well!!), Chupa. I’ve been a long time admirer of her artistry; she truly adds a whole new level to ‘creativity.’ For future interviews…oh my, I have three: Bev, from Uniko, Stephanie, from Clearly Besotted, and, as several others have suggested, Debby Hughes. Bev is ‘this close’ to having twin boys, so maybe you can nab her before those ‘little beans’ (as she calls them) arrive. Whoever, you choose, though, will be awesome – and you, in your ever engaging way, will bring out their best! You = fabulous!
