Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2024 - Boo Sheet Halloween Party Treat Sacks & Tags

And I'm back to show you the last little project to go with the Boo Sheet Halloween Party theme, using the new stamps and stencils from Tim Holtz and Stamper's Anonymous, and seen in the Live last Saturday. I really can think of several other decor pieces to make with these for a party, as the images are so stinking cute. Don't you agree? Enjoy these Treat Sacks and Tags! 

 

(NOTE: The Archival Ink takes a bit longer to dry on the glassine, so take care not to smear it, or use a heat tool to help dry.) Place a white glassine bag in the platform and take the small extra ghost stamp on the lower right side of the glassine just for placement so don't close the lid yet. Take the mini witch's hat, broom, and pumpkin pail from the Mini Bird Crazy & Things and figure out the best placement of them using the little ghost. Remove the ghost and then stamp the mini things in Black Soot from Ranger.  Place another glassine bag in and repeat and do as many as you want. Clean the stamps off by stamping the remaining ink from them onto a large sticky note, and then cut the images out. You are finished with these stamps so remove them.  Place the sticky notes on the images and then add the little ghost on and stamp it in Black Soot over the sticky notes. Place another glassine bag in and repeat and do as many as you want.  Clean this stamp off on another sticky note and cut it out. Remove the little ghost as you are finished with it.  Take the large ghost stamp and place it next to the little witch ghost in the center area of the glassine just for placement so don't close the lid yet. Take the bowler hat and pumpkin pail from the Crazy Things and figure out the best placement of them using the large ghost. Remove the ghost  and then stamp the images in Black Soot. Place another glassine bag in and repeat and do as many as you want. Clean the stamps off by stamping the remaining ink from them onto another sticky note, and then cut the images out. You are finished with these stamps so remove them.  Place the sticky notes on the images as well as the broom sticky note,  and then add the large ghost on and stamp it in Black Soot over the sticky notes. Place another glassine bag in and repeat and do as many as you want. Clean this stamp off on another sticky note and cut it out. Remove the large ghost as you are finished with it. Place all the sticky notes on the images and then arrange the large web over them and close the lid to secure the stamp. Stamp the web in Hickory Smoke Archival Ink. Place another glassine bag in and repeat and do as many as you want. Remove this stamp and add the two sentiments or whatever you want, as well as the bow tie on the large ghost, and stamp them in Black Soot Archival Ink. Remove all the stickys and save for another time. Place another glassine bag in and repeat and do as many as you want, and don't worry about the sticky notes anymore.

 

Take #8 Black Tags for as many of the treat sacks as you are making, and cut off the bottom two inches on each and save those for another project. Place a tag in the platform and add a sentiment from the Halloween Whatnots Stamp Set just below the tag holes. Speaking of the tag holes, I don't like that brownish color for these tags so I color it in with Black Soot Archival Ink, FYI. Close the lid to secure the sentiment and then stamp it with Glacier White Pigment Ink a few times to make it nice and bright. Repeat with more tags and sentiments. Let this ink dry a while or use a heat tool. Take the Mini Jacks Layering Stencil and place it below the sentiment along the bottom border of the tag so that two open pumpkins are centered along the bottom. Using a clean foam and ink blending tool, ink in the solid pumpkins with Glacier White Pigment Ink and then let dry. If you get white anywhere you don't want it use a black pen and Black Soot Archival to cover it up....the beauty of using a black surface.

 

Using Distress Watercolor Pencils and a Detail Waterbrush, color in the parts of the sentiments that you want, as well as oranges for the solid pumpkins with green stems, but I kept the center pumpkin white, as well as the accessories on the ghosts with the glassine bags.  Keep in mind that the pencils will color over the black portions, but again you can use a pen to color them back black on the tags. The water makes the glassine slightly buckle but it will flatten out when dry. See below for the colors I used. For the witch's buckle on the hats, I used Antique Bronze Distress Crayon with the Waterbrush. Use a white pen to add dots in each of the centers of the eyes, as well as add eyelashes to the little witch. Let the bags dry well. Place the face part of the Jacks stencil over the pumpkins and use Black Soot Archival to color them in. Select letters for a name or initials using the Halloween Transparent Tiles and secure those on to the bottom of the tag edge using two sided tape. Crinkle up some Halloween Fringe and use two sided tape to secure it on over the top of letters. Add ribbon to the tag hole and tie it onto the fold down bag through a hole made with a hole punch once your bag is filled with treats.
