Hello!
This is the second of the cards I have made for the Whimsy Stamps
Halloweeners Design Team. I had this card planned to make for last year
but just never got around to it so I saved the sketch and made it this
year.
This is the video tutorial I made for this card. It is a little longer than I planned because I had a "scary" experience in the middle of filming and so I told all about it. Hahahaha. So if you aren't one for story telling during a tutorial, just ff through that part or mute me and watch the video in ff. LOL
I used the Notched Rectangle Die to cut the woodgrain paper from the Farmhouse Paper Pack. Then added a Large Fastener from Tim Holtz Ideaology. I put just a tiny bit of Distress Crypt Grit Paste on each brad or Long Fastener and it made them look old and rusty.
This is the Mason Jar Die from Whimsy Stamps. I stamped the Goth Skulls Rubber Stamp onto paper and inked it before I die cut the jar to make it look like it was full of skulls.
The lid was colored with Brushed Corduroy Distress Stain and then I put some Distress Crypt Grit Paste on it to mimic crusty rust.
The label was made from the large tombstone die in the Dracula's Coffin Die Set as was the skull. The sentiment was from Spirited Sentiments Clear Stamps and the two leafy images were from the Grave Epitaphs Clear Stamp Set.
The cracks in the background paper were from the Grave Epitaphs Clear Stamps. I color some Distress Watercolor Cardstock with some Pumice Stone Distress Stain with a couple of drops of Brushed Corduroy Distress Stain, then stamped the cracks from Grave Epitaphs in Black Soot Archival Ink.
That's basically all there was to this card. I included some additional details in the video tutorial.
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading through this post! I'm thankful you appreciated the time it took to make this post enough to read through to the end.
Have a creative day!

Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween release is finally here! There
are some really beautiful products in this release that can be used all
year long for anything, not just for Halloween. I love that!
I had some fun with The Scarecrow stamp set and I made one mini slimline with the set, then another regular slimline where the eyes light up! So fun! I love that interactive element, but made a plain one for those who maybe didn't want to bother. I recorded a tutorial for these cards and will be editing and posting it soon.
A great fall stamp set that can take on all kinds of feeling from harvest to spooky.
With Gothic Tapestry, I went back to my fave technique, that Iron-off Resist, but this time I added a few twists. I recorded a tutorial so I will be editing and posting it soon!
This card is the one that had the heat Distress Embossing Glaze on it.
This card is the Iron-off Paper that soaked in the Distress Embossing Glaze from the the original card. When you use Embossing Glaze you get the color of the glaze in the ironed off side. Two cards in one technique, but with very different looks.
Alright, more details and more cards to come so be sure you are following me on Instagram where I will post as soon as tutorials go live. The following feature on Blogger is messed up and no one could follow even when I had it in the right hand column. Same thing with me not being able to reply to your comments. I can't get either feature to work. Sorry! I do my best as a technically challenged middle aged woman. LOL
Thank you as always for stopping by my blog. I am so grateful for the support!
Have a crafty day,
Tami

I count it a privilege to get to design samples with Tim Holtz's new stamp releases. It amazes me the creativity from each of the designers and how with the same stamps there are such a variety of styles and ideas. It's a great process to get to be a part of.
I'm sharing one of my samples today that makes me giggle. It was such a fun card to work on and I was able to use all the images for an entire stamp set on it too! LOL!
To make this card, the main stamp set I used was the Zombies CMS350 set. The fence is made by stamping the Planks CMS344 stamp and then cutting it apart and attaching the planks like a fence. The tree branch in the background is from the Mr. Bones CMS345 set.
I stamped and watercolored each zombie image and then cut them out by hand. I ink around the edges with my Distress Markers because that allows me to get into all the little nooks and crannies.
I figured some zombies don't have bodies so this guy is just a zombie head on the ground.
For the sentiment, I stamped two of the hands coming out of the ground and then cut them out. I cut around the finger tips and slid the sentiment under them so the hands are holding the sign. This zombie has two left hands. LOL!
That's it. This was a fun, silly zombie card just to bring a smile to your face. Have fun with this stamp set -- there's so much you can do with it.
