Welcome to the 3rd Save the Crafty YouTuber Video Hop! I’m so honoured to be participating in this event, organized by the fabulous Justine Hovey, and you can find all the details on her blog HERE.
I’m featuring many Paper Smooches stamps and dies in my video and I’m sharing a shop coupon, which appears twice in my video, so be sure to watch carefully and have a pen ready to write that down that coupon code for a wonderful discount!
I made four cards with the Splash stamp set and Splash Icons, and I managed every image in the set except the whale’s tail. It could also be used as a mermaid’s tail, if you wanted to get creative. 😉
The other die set featured across all four cards is the Water Dies, which is an absolute must-have since it can be used as water, grass, sand and even party streamers! On my first card, featuring the beaver, I used it to cut windows for a shaker element.
I use the ink blended Water Dies cut from the beaver card on the shark card, as additional waves. I love the layered look of the coordinating die cuts, which adds even more depth to the water.
The top edge of both the beaver and shark water panels were cut with one of the Waves Dies. This has been one of my go-to sets for years. The sentiment on the shark card is from the Super stamp set.
The next technique I used on the duck card was to dry emboss with the Water Dies. This worked out perfectly since I ink blended a single panel with a sky-to-sea transition.
The glittery white Curly Clouds were a perfect balance to the dry embossed waves. The sentiment on this card is from the Group Hugs stamp set, another one of my well-loved sentiment sets.
On my otter card, I added several glittery white die cuts to the panel. I also used one of the dies to create a slit in the panel so I could tuck the ‘beaver’s paws’ behind the wave. It’s holding a clam shell from the Summer Lovin stamp set.
As always, all of the detailed instructions are on the video, and all of the supplies I used on these cards are in the supply links below. Don’t forget to use the Paper Smooches shop coupon that appears in my video. The coupon code is valid for the duration of this video hop.
There are so many prizes to be won. Some video artists are giving away a specific prize but our sponsors are giving away prizes to anyone who comments. The more love you leave, the higher your chances of winning!
Thanks so much for hopping with us!
