simon says stamp: tim holtz/stampers anonymous STAMPtember® exclusive set

2019-TIM-HOLTZ-Exclusive_STAMPtember-2019_1080-01-1-735x735

You know STAMPtember® is always an exciting month, and the set I wait for all month is finally here…the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous STAMPtember® exclusive set. Usually these sets are a compliation of other holiday sets in perfect cardmaking size. This year’s set is a bit different…these images are exclusive images and once this set is gone..it is gone! I love the idea of having a collector’s item! Thanks to Tim and Heidi at Simon Says Stamp for making this happen, what a wonderful surprise!!!!

This year’s set features a stamp and stencil and is full of fun creatures and matching sentiments. The stencil is full of fabulous stars, reminiscent of the Hocus Pocus stencil that Tim previously released, one pattern that is a swirl (used on the card below) and one pattern that is like a wave that fits perfectly across the card.

I created 4 cards with this set, and a little explanation of how I made each one:

For my first card, I used the bat creature and mounted it on a background of swirly stars that I created using Crackle Texture Paste and some Distress Crayons. I cut the sentiment from the bottom of the stamp using my Tim Holtz scissors and put it onto a sentiment strip….I usually cut the sentiments off of cling stamps like this and they are super easy to put back on your stamp platform to stamp together as one stamp at a later time, I have never had any problems doing this 😉

For the second card, I used a bright candy colored palette of Distress Inks and Oxides to create an inky background and mounted the bird on top of it, I finished off the card with some candies cut from the Sizzix Sweet Treats die out of Metallic Kraft Stock.

A clean and simple card stamped in Jet Black Archival Ink, colored in with Distress Markers and one Tim Holtz Idea-ology Creepy Eye for effect…clean, simple and creepy all at the same time!

For my final card, I wanted to use the stamps and stencils in a non-Halloween way, and I created a rainbow ink blended panel with Distress Oxides, then stencilled the line of stars over each color. I completed the card with some stars cut from Simon Says Stamp White Glitter Card Stock and stamped and embossed the sentiment on black to make it pop.
