That's right!! The Tim Holtz STAMPtember Limited Edition exclusive set <------click! just went live!! This is one of the most in-demand sets for STAMPtember and his set ALWAYS sells out super quickly!! You can check it out HERE!
Before I get to my cards using this set don't forget to check out the Limited Edition STAMPtember 2020 card kit that was released yesterday (and there's still some in stock!):
You can check out the kit HERE <-------click! while supplies last! This is a Limited Edition (bigger) kit that isn't part of the monthly subscription - and it's going to sell out quickly IMO!
ALSO - if you weren't aware - Tim will be doing a LIVE video on his Facebook page a little later today:
You can get to his Facebook page HERE <------click! and tune in at 1pm ET for his video! He'll be showing the set along with a bunch of inspiration made using it (I sent my cards in for this so they should be featured in there too!) from several talented designers. ALWAYS worth tuning in to Tim's videos - the amount of inspiration alone is fabulous.
OK on to my cards:
These are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.
I made 4 slimline cards using Tim's STAMPtember 2020 set - the crazy cats and sentiments cracked me up so much I needed to use ALL of them.
I stamped the cats from the STAMPtember 2020 set onto Distress Watercolor paper with Ranger's Archival Jet Black ink. I watercolored all of them with Distress Inks (all the colors used are listed and linked in the supplies below) and the card with the cat tangled in the Christmas lights I coloured the lights in with Copic Markers.
I used one of the stencil's from Tim's Mini Stencil 18 set for this card. I mixed Wendy Vecchi embossing paste with Tumbled Glass Distress ink to tint it blue before applying it to the background.
The scallop frames on 2 of the cards were die cut from Tim's Idea-ology Metallic Jewels Kraft card stock using Simon's Slimline Scallop Frame wafer dies.
On all the cards I added some sparkle using my Tonic Aqua Shimmer Clear Glitter Gloss pen. I also added Glossy Accents to all the cat's eyes and to the light bulbs on the first card.
I finished off the insides of all the cards by stamping the cats used for each card with the Archival Jet Black ink. All the sentiments from the STAMPtember 2020 set were white heat embossed onto black card stock using Ranger's Super Fine Detail White embossing powder and trimmed out with scissors. I adhered the "Meowy Christmas" to the insides and that was it!
