Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 - Boo S'MORE

Hi All! Here is another yummy treat to pass out to those special trick-or-treaters in your life, and they are so simple to make using the new Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween stamps...well after you buy all the goodies to make them.  I saw snack packs for the ghostly smores last year at a fund raiser, and thought they would be so cute with an added tag or card, and so I came up with these. Enjoy!

I found the marshmallow ghosts at Walgreens, as well as the chocolates and grahams. The black food safe bags were in my stash and I don't remember where I purchased them, sorry.

(Fill the resealable food safe bag with two squares of grahams, one chocolate bar, and one ghost marshmallow, and seal, using gloves of course.)

Cut white tag to six inches, making sure you don't cut off the tag hole. Stamp skull left of tag hole, the hand right of tag hole, and BOO! above tag hole next to the top of the skull, all in Jet Black Archival. Fold tag in half at three inches.

Use a bold marker to write in S'MORE next to Boo!, and a fine pen to draw lines around the perimeter of the tag face. Punch a hole through the existing tag hole to the back of the tag. Fold a 12 inch piece of ribbon in half and loop through the back hole of the tag, pulling the tails through the loop. Thread the ribbon tails through the hole of the food bag, and then pull only one tail through the hole on the front of the tag. Bring both pieces of ribbon together and pull snuggly, and then tie into a bow.

Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 - Pumpkin Pills

Hi everyone, and thank you so much for all the comments and likes for all the cards I made for the Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween stamps and stencils. My cup runneth over. Today, I have the first of three makes that you did not see on Tim's Live, and these are pretty sweet. These Pumpkin Pills were super fun and quick to make, and of course would be great for those special trick-or-treaters in your life. Enjoy!

Stamp the pharmacy labels on the #5 tags in Peeled Paint Archival using a stamping platform.

Stamp the 'physian', ID check, 'Apothecary', and warning label in Black Soot Archival. Use a Letter/Number Rotary Stamp in Black Soot to stamp $.31 in the upper left corner. Use a black pen to draw lines around the tag and other elements.

Stamp the pumpkins on kraft with Black Soot, and cut out. Make computer sentiments "Rx: Pumpkin Pills" and "Take as many per day for cravings". Cut out and ink edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Ink the pumpkins in with Carved Pumpkin and Twisted Citron Distress Ink using an ink blending tool. Ink edges of Matchboxes, tags, and pumpkins with Vintage Photo Archival. Attach ribbon to edge of Matchbox with a Tiny Attacher. Add Matchboxes to tags with two sided tape, and pumpkin to top of the Matchbox. Add sentiment to top of pumpkin and top edge of box.

Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2020 - Snarky Cats Halloween Trio: #3

Are you tired of me yet? Here's the last Snarky Cat Halloween Card 'Trick or Treat Smell My Feet" (the largest one at 5 x 6.5 inches), using the new Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween Stamps. This is also the last of the cards shown on Tim's Live if you viewed it, but I have three more projects to show you in the next week. I hope you've liked all the cats so far. Enjoy!

Cut all the papers you need...Heavystock to 4 3/8 x 5 7/8 plus extra for cutting out more cats and pumpkin, black cardstock to 4.5 x 6, Circle Kraft Paper 4 7/8 x 6 3/8, a 1 3/8 by 6 piece of kraft for the floor part, and a kraft card base to 5 x 6.5. Using the Heavystock and Stamping Platform, stamp a jumping cat in the upper middle area using Jet Black Archival. Note: my photo shows a stamped pumpkin as well, but I changed my mind later, and chose to stamp and cut out the pumpkin separately. Stamp the jumping cat again on sticky note for masking.

Cut out the sticky note image of the cat, and place on regular image. Stamp the background image from Tapestry for wall paper over the cat using Vintage Photo Archival. Let dry.

Add two strips of Tissue Tape to the 1 3/8 x 6 inch piece of kraft. A little kraft will be left showing for a baseboard look. Ink the edges in Vintage Photo and adhere to card front. Stamp the spider and web in the upper left corner of the card front in Jet Black. Add card front to black cardstock mat, and distress edges. Adhere to circle paper and then kraft card base.

Stamp the sentiment a few times on Heavystock to make cutting out the words a little easier. Color the front of the Deco Frame with a Black Soot Distress Crayons and rub the crayon in to all the bumps in the frame. Use a paper towel to wipe off the excess not in the recessed areas. Adhere circle kraft paper to the back. Cut out the sentiment in groups of two words, then one, and so on. Ink the edges of the words with Antique Linen Distress Ink, and adhere to the circle paper in the frame. Adhere to card front on the upper right corner.

Stamp the other two cats and pumpkin on heavystock in Jet Black and cut out. Use Distress Crayons and a Detail Water Brush to color in pumpkins and cats. Add shadows as well as color the edges of all of them.  Adhere pumpkin to middle.

Die cut cat face from Frightening Faces die with black cardstock and adhere to pumpkin. Foam tape cats to the sides of the pumpkin. Add Glossy Accents to the eye balls of the cats as well as to the spider body.
