Smooshing technique pictorial by Shabneez


Happy Friday!

It’s Shabneez with a blog post about smooshing.  Smooshing is a technique that once you start I’m sure you won’t stop and the Tubby Craft Dye Inks are perfect for this as they are waterbased.


I have two step by step pictorial tutorials to share with you using the smooshing technique.  Smooshing is basically the combining of ink with water to create an effect.

1. Take a sheet of watercolour card stock and put some imperial red ink on your glass mat with a spritz of water.


2. Put the card on the ink and water mixture and smoosh by pressing and moving the card around in the ink.


3. Do the same with the other colour ink pads to create a rainbow effect finishing with the lavender violet.



4. Use the black ink to stamp the rainbows randomly around the rainbow background.


5. Using the ink pads and a waterbrush I painted the unicorn image.


6. Stamp the ‘You Are A Rainbow’ sentiment with black ink.



7.  Assemble the card.

For my second card I decided to use the smooshing technique on an oyster shell.


1.  To begin I stamped the oyster shell and then used masking fluid around the outside.  This stops any ink from reaching the area covered.


2. This time I used a piece of acetate and added the mustard yellow and chocolate brown inks to it followed by a spritz of water.


3. Rub away the masking fluid and you will find a clear space around it which I fussy cut around giving me a clean finish.
4. I added liquid pearls to the centre to make a pretty realistic pearl!


5. I stamped and used the ink to water colour 2 star fishes which I then fussy cut.

6. I heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder on a black card base and added the fussy cut elements to a blue circular background.

Hello there, This is Priyadarshini here today, I have ATC coins here today using stamps from Tubby craft. I have used 3 different stamps to make these. They are easy and quick to make and absolute fun too. I have a common base here which is black cardstock and die cut small circle from white cardstock. I created different background for each using stencils and inks from Tubby craft.  What are Artist trading coins? They are miniature art created on 2.5"circle of heavy base cardstock.  ATC with stenciled background                      First, I stenciled the white cardstock using stencils and dye inks.

Card 1 To make this card, I die cut out the white card stock and stamped the penguins by masking them using Black tubby craft ink.

Hi Everyone !! Hope you all are doing good and crafting too. I have two cards for today. I have highlighted  different techniques for each card. Onto my first card, I have tried showcasing repeated stamping in a border style . I have used Plumeria Florals stamp set and Jet Black dye ink from Tubby craft to stamp the border first. Next I chose Imperial Red and Lead gray dye inks from Tubby Craft to color my florals. Sentiment is a die cut on Gold card stock and the card is embellished in gold peals. For border,I have adhered Gold border die cut to enhance the card on a black cardstock. Now onto my second card, I am using Checkered Stencil for the background .I have used rainbow colors from Tubby Craft Dye ink collection to put them on paper using blending brushes. I masked the center with a circle die cut before applying inks to the card base. Once stenciled background is ready,I removed the mask and stamped sentiment from Luc
