This little etymology vignette was made for the release of the exclusive
stamps from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with six stamp sets from
Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.
The vintagey feel of this etymology display would make it a perfect gift for any bug lover!
Here is my video tutorial, and for any of my followers who have missed hearing Leota, she was
playing in the background during my voice over and she is loud when she
plays with her fake mice. So enjoy!
Adding the little labels from Moth Study and Curator was simple and fun. I think it is a great detail.
The three layers of foam in each box really helped to raise the back so the moths really stood out while still being framed in a box.
I love the way the shredded mummy cloth looks like old timey packing material around the edges of each moth.
Thank you as always for stopping by! I truly appreciate you more than you
will ever know!
Have a creative day,
Tami

I thought it would be fun to make something that wasn’t a card for a few of my samples for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween Release 2021.
This idea came to mind before any of the others and I had the test tubes and stand ordered before my stamps even got here. 😁
I hope you enjoy the closeups here, and the full video walk through on my YouTube channel.
These little tags were cut from a long time favorite die set by Tim Holtz and Sizzix called Gift Tags #662423. Stamp a label onto them.
On the top of the test tubes I put the little round label stamp. I fussy cut them out because I didn't have a punch the correct size.
I colored some Heavystopck with Old Paper and Antique Linen Distress Stains, then flicked some Ground Espresso ink on the papers. New I stamped the Label Frame and a moth inside with Ground Espresso Distress Archival Ink. Next, I watercolored the images with various Distress inks in fairly neutral colors.
Attach the labels to the bottom half of each of the test tubes.
Age the wooden test tube holder with Distress Vintage Collage Medium, a little Grit Paste and some Distress Crayons.
Add a label to the top part of the test tubes. That's it for the details on this one! It's a really versatile stamp set and favor. The Moth Study stamps would work beautifully for not only cards, but also Bible journaling, travel journaling, planners, scrapbooking and even fun little favors and tags like this. As for the test tube favors, they can easily be filled with a variety of things from candy to tea, to herbs like lavender or bath salts.....so many different things that would make party favors for all ages.
Thank you so very much for stopping by and for your support!
