Seaside Wishes - 4 of 4 Easy Techniques

This Seaside Wishes and Hybrid Embossing Folder — I am having so much fun playing with this bundle!

In case you are not familiar with the phrase ‘hybrid’, it simply means that the embossing folder and dies can work simultaneously (or separately). I just love how simple it is and how much time it saves.

I was in the mood for a technique the other day and it seems that one prompted another and then another. This project will showcase the the last of our four quick and easy techniques… Smooshing!

This project’s technique is a pretty easy one! Smooshing is just the action of directly adding ink with your ink pad onto your glass mat (or you could use an acrylic sheet)!

After all your ink colors are on the mat (I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam), spray the mat with your Stampin’ Spritzer (or any spray bottle – but I do think using the Spritzer gives you more precise direction).

After having the ink spread from the spray, take your trimmed card stock and smoosh the paper into the watery ink until you are happy with the result. Set aside to dry.

Here are the quick measurements for this project…

Basic White (Thick) CS: 11″ x 4 1/4″ and score at 5 1/2″
Smoky Slate CS: 5 1/4″ x 4″
Country Lace DSP: 5″ x 3 3/4
Country Lace DSP: 5″ x 1 1/2″

Here is the quick step-by-step for this project…

Trim all layers as noted above
Adhere the card stock layer to the card base
Adhere both DSP layers to the card base
Crop a few pieces (seaweed dies) from Smoky Slate card stock
Crop the shell (outline die) from both Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink card stock
Emboss and crop the three images from the ‘smooshed’ card stock using the Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder
Use any extra space on the ‘smooshed’ layer to crop any dies that may fit
Stamp the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink onto Basic White card stock and trim around sentiment
Arrange and adhere the die cuts over the DSP layers
Adhere the sentiment tag over the die cuts with Dimensionals
Add a few Transparent Adhesive-backed Dots to the card front
