Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2024 - Boo Sheet Halloween Party Favors

Hello again! Here are some party favors for the Boo Sheet Halloween Party, made with the new stamps from Tim Holtz and Stamper's Anonymous as seen in the Live last week. I just totally love the little ghosts, and really tried hard to make time to also make a banner as that would be too cute, but I'll leave that up to you all, as time did not permit. Enjoy!

 

(I only made four but you can make as many as you want.) Cut a piece of White Heavystock to about 6 x 6 inches or so for ample room to stamp four ghosts and their accessories (the top three from the Spooky Spirits Set and the little extra ghost from the Boo Crazy Set), and place it in the platform. Doing one ghost stamp at a time, place one of them on a corner portion on the paper just for placement so don't close the lid yet. Take the mini accessories that you want (hats, pumpkin pail, bows, etc.) from the Mini Bird Crazy & Things and figure out the best placement of them using the ghost you selected. Remove the ghost and then stamp the mini things in Black Soot from Ranger. Clean the stamps off by stamping the remaining ink from them onto a sticky note, and then cut the images out.  Place the sticky notes on the images and then add the ghost on and stamp it in Black Soot over the sticky notes. Repeat this process for all the remaining ghosts. Once you have all the ghosts you want with all their accessories, cut them out.

 

 

Cut a piece of Kraft Cardstock to 2 x 8 inches, and place it in the platform. Arrange four of the 'boo sentiments' from the Spooky Spirits Stamp Set or whatever one you'd like to use, evenly in the center of the paper (so about 1/2 inch wide space for each) and close the lid to secure, and then stamp in Black Soot. Cut these apart in 1/2 inch strips, and add two sided tape to the backs.

 

 

Using Distress Watercolor Pencils and a Detail Waterbrush, color in the parts of the accessories on the ghosts that you want. Keep in mind that the pencils will color over the black lines, so you will need to use a black marker to fix them like I did. See below for the colors I used.  Use a white pen to add dots in each of the centers of the eyes, and a black marker to make eyelashes on the girls. Using more White Heavystock, cut 1/4 inch by about 3 inch strips for the straps that will hold the ghosts on the straws and add two sided tape to them.

 

Ink the edges of the ghosts and kraft sentiments strips with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. Take the straws and kraft strips first and wrap one around the straw in half to see where you will bend it so that the wording will be seen about 1.5 inches from the top of the straw. Remove the tape backing and press the wording together around the straw. Use scissors to fish tails the ends and then ink those edges. Take a white strip in the middle and press the middle part around the straw to form it around with arms remaining flat out, and then remove the backing to secure it about 1.5 inches from the wording. Add a ghost onto the arms of the white strip pressing to secure it, and then trim any of the arms hanging off the back of the ghost. Unravel the Halloween Fringe and roll it around your palm to fluff it up. Cut off 2 one inch strips and add two sided tape to the back, and then secure one above the wording and one below the ghost. Repeat for as many as you'd like.

Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween 2024 - Boo Sheet Halloween Party Invitations

Hello Everyone! How about that Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Halloween Release Live?!! Amazing makes for sure, just a WOW! AND, the new stamps and stencils are so super FUN, and I had a blast making with them! I went all out on a BOO SHEET Halloween Party Theme, as the Boo Sheet phrase is big around these parts, so having a party theme seemed natural. All three of my projects seen in the Live go together and were so easy to make, so I'll start with the invitations first. Enjoy!

 

Cut a piece of Kraft Cardstock to 4 x 5.5”. Die cut the paper with the Big Ticket Bigz Die from Sizzix. Repeat for as many invites as you like. Place the ticket in the platform and take the Ghost in the Graveyard image from the  Framed Frights Stamp Set, and arrange it on the very left side of the ticket, and stamp in Black Soot Distress Archival Ink from Ranger. Repeat with as many invites as you like. Leave this in the platform if you can in case you need to restamp later after coloring. If you have another platform add the ticket in it, if not, work from the other side of the platform with the Graveyard safely away from the ticket. Select the '31' from the Sign Painter Set, as well as select images from the Tidbits Stamp Set that go with the theme of the ticket (admit one, see other side, ticket number, arrive at 9 pm, month chart) and place them on the ticket playing with the placement with the '31' first and the other images around them keeping in mind the linear and compartment like style of a ticket front. Once you like it remove the '31' and close the lid to secure the other images, and then stamp them in Black Soot Archival. Repeat with as many invites as you like. Remove the images as you are finished with them, and add the '31' on where it needs to go. Stamp it first in Glacier White Pigment Ink, and then in Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink. The reason to use the white first is to make sure the '31' is nice and bright orange, but you don't have to if you don't have the white ink. Give the '31' a little heat to dry or let it dry naturally for a bit. Repeat with as many invites as you like. Take a piece of White Heavystock and stamp the pointing finger for as many invites as you need as well as the 'boo sheet' sentiment from the Spooky Spirits in Black Soot Archival. Add two sided tape to the back of this and cut the finger out as well as block style cut the sentiment and set those aside for now.

 

Use the Big Ticket Bigz Die again to die cut White Heavystock tickets this time for as many invites as you need. Place one in the platform and arrange the top three ghosts from the Spooky Spirits Set and the little extra ghost from the Boo Crazy Set in each corner of the ticket so that just half their bodies will be seen and the middle of the ticket is wide open. This is just for placement so don't close the lid yet. Take the mini accessories that you want (hats, pumpkin pail, bows, etc.) from the Mini Bird Crazy & Things and figure out the best placement of them on each of the ghosts, even though you will only be able to stamp them one at a time you need to know the placement beforehand so that middle area will still be open. Starting with one of the ghosts, remove it and leave the accessories in place and close the lid. Don't worry about removing the other ghosts as you won't ink those yet, and they are just holding their places. Stamp the mini things in Black Soot. Repeat with as many invites as you like. Clean the stamps off by stamping the remaining ink from them onto a sticky note, and then cut the images out.  Place the sticky notes on the images and then add the ghost on and stamp it in Black Soot over the sticky notes. Remove that ghost, and then repeat this process for another ghost, but when it comes to the sticky note accessories keep in mind which masks you already have so you don't have to keep cutting more. Again repeat with as many invites as you like. Remove the ghost and then do another until all four are stamped with their accessories. Repeat with as many invites as you like. Then stamp the bows and glasses in Black Soot as well. I missed the bow a bit on one ghost so I drew in a piece of hair to tie them back together. Use a fine black pen to add eyelashes to the girls.  

 

 

Using a permanent bold black pen and a ruler, add lines around the parts of the front of the ticket, and then along the embossed lines border on the white ticket. Ink the edges of both with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. Using the wording from the Life of the Party, Tiny Text, and Spooky Spirits Stamp Sets, arrange them on the white ticket center portion for your instructions of the party. Some of the wording I couldn't find in full, so I cut words and letters apart, as you can see, which made for some wonky stamping even though I really tried to line things up, so keep that in mind. Perhaps you can find better phrases to add. Once you like the wording, stamp it in Black Soot Archival. I couldn't find a stamp with 'party' so I used Label Letters to make it. I used a black pen for the question mark as well.

 

 

For the front of the envelopes stamp more accessories and another ghost like you did before using your previous sticky note masks. 

 

 

 Using Distress Watercolor Pencils and a Detail Waterbrush, color in the parts of the images you want. Keep in mind that the pencils will color over the black lines, so you will need to restamp the cemetery part you left in the platform or you can use a black marker to fix them like I did. 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 the 'admit one' and lines around that. Add the pointing finger and Boo Sheet to the cemetery portion.
