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. Add string to tag hole.
