Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Spring 2025 - Hippity Hoppity Got Candy Easter Card

Hello Everyone! Thanks so much for all the comments on my last post on IG! Today, I have an Easter make from the Re-Release of Stamps and Stencils from Stamper's Anonymous and Tim Holtz. I just adore the Blue Prints sets, and had fun with all the bright colors on this. Enjoy!

 

Cut a piece White Heavystock to 3.5 x 8.5”. Place the paper in the platform and add the bunny from the Blueprints set to the top middle, and the egg right below. Stamp in Black Soot Archival from Ranger nice and dark. Add two sided tape to the back of the paper to keep it flat for the next parts.

 

 

Place the wording Hippity Hoppity vertically to the top left and Got Candy vertically on the bottom right (from the Spring Shadows or Mixed Media Stamp/Stencil Set) on the paper in the platform. Ink the words with a combination of Picked Raspberry, Mermaid Lagoon, and Fossilized Amber Archival Inks, and stamp. The colors will blend to give you a rainbow look. Place the stitches from the Spring Sprung set on or use a stamping block if it's easier, and stamp repeatedly in the same colors down the left side and up from the right side. Use a Deckle Trimmer to trim off both sides of the paper.

 

 

Cut and fold a Kraft Cardstock base to 4 x 9 inches, and set aside. Cut another pieces of White Heavystock to 3 7/8 x 8 7/8. Take the stencil from the Mixed Media Spring Shadows set (THMM163), and Distress Inks in Mustard Seed, Mermaid Lagoon, and Picked Raspberry, as well as Mini Ink Blending Tools. Stencil in the plaid portion of the stencil alternating the ink colors to create the plaid pattern. Ink the edges of this and the card base with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. Mount the plaid onto the card base.

 

 

Ink the edges of the bunny and egg with Brushed Corduroy, and mount onto green cardstock, then trim around the green closely making only a slight border. Add foam tape to the back and mount onto the card front. Using the same Distress Ink colors straight from the pad and a Detail Waterbrush, color in the titles, bows, grass, flowers, and egg designs. Use Stickles in coordinating colors to fill in the bows, flowers, and egg designs. Let dry.

Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Spring 2025 - Components Collection Inspired Ectcerta Tags

Hello All and Happy Spring to you! Today, Tim Holtz and Stamper's Anonymous have brought back old stamps and stencils for us to remember and love yet again, or for newbies to fall in love with for the first time. It's such a genius idea as I know with me, I have forgotten or haven't used soooo many stamps from the past, so I love revisiting them again. Since some of the Component stamps and sets they were created with were in this re-release, I decided to recreate them as best I could and on #8 Etcetera Tags in the bright fresh colors of Spring. Enjoy!

 

 

I painted over all the tags in Picket Fence Distress Ink from Ranger first then let that dry, and then added the other paints to create a sundown looking sky with bottom grassy area. 

I stamped the script in Glacier White Pigment Ink for the Flutter. 

 I stamped the wheat/cattails image in Peeled Paint Archival and the floral edge in Rustic Wilderness.

 

 Then I painted in all the images and borders. I did this same thing for all four.

For the Sparrow that I made into a Robin, same thing as before. I stamped the edges in Glacier White, and the foliage in Rustic Wilderness, and the bird branch in Wild Honey.

 

Then I painted the images. 

 

 For the Tatoo, I stamped the foliage in Rustic Wilderness, the bird in Faded Jeans, and the flowers in Villainous Potion. The lace was stamped first in Glacier White.

 Then I painted it in.

The numbers in Glacier White, the butterfly and crown in Black Soot, and the foliage in Rustic Wilderness.

 More paint, and the edges in Black Soot instead of Picket Fence like the other three. I used a Letter-It Pen in Gold for the crown.
