That's great! I just got fed up with making a smooshy mess, so I thought 'how can I do this so I get less mess and more control?' and hence the smoosher was born! :)
Admittedly, I didn't really understand the smoosher and why you would use this kind of tool instead of just smooshing your paper down onto the watered down ink on your glass mat. So I made a smoosher following your tutorial and now I TOTALLY get it! And - now I have 4 different size smooshers in my crafty toolbox! 😂 Thank you for consistently using the smoosher and making me more and more curious about it! It's a great tool indeed!
I have been having so much fun making and using these. I created a square one by just folding the paper towel up into a square shape and then wrapping with plastic. I used duct tape to close the top handle. I also used bubble wrap to cover a round bunched up paper towel. That created some cool results!!! I am recycling the plastic bags I get from Walmart to make these. Thanks for a great idea!
I’ve just realised that I have been buying night sky papers for my Christmas cards and now I can make my own; not only more cheaply but also to use up my white card off-cuts tfs again
Hi Natalie ... it's me again. I found your smoosher video and now that Christmas is behind us, I will give this a try. I have been enjoying your channel and all the creative cards and techniques you share -- greatly appreciated. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊 PS, now off to watch the new smoosher video.
Just brilliant!! Love this tool! I will definitely make one too! I also like to have a little more control, without too much mess... 😅😊 Thanks for sharing 👌🏼
I love this idea! I'm going to make smooshers for my crafty friends and having a smooshing card party! And I'll tell everyone about your channel. I'd like to see you blow up the Internet like Jennifer McGuire!
I just found your channel, and I have to say I'm totally impressed. I've seen this technique before but never knew exactly how to do it, but you just are amazing. beautiful cards!
I'm a first time viewer and new subscriber. I'm so happy I found you. Your ideas and videos are informative and inspiring. I'm going to make several of your "smooshers", like you I like "controlled randomness" on my cards.
I love this effect. Thanks for sharing. The card is beautiful, I tend to "over colour" my cards, so your smoosher will definitely help me control my colours better. Can't wait to try it 🤗
Thank you for this idea and tutorial! I made my smoother today and played with my inks. Need some practice, but a few of the first ones turned out ok! You always give me something new to think about.
I’ve looked for an emoji that is a standing ovation, shame none exist but take this as one 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊new subscriber after watching your video’s, love your style of crafting, thank you take care.
