SSS STAMPtember 2023 Blog Party: Hocus Pocus Stamp Set

Today is the much awaited STAMPtember 2023 Blog Party! Welcome!!! Today I have two cards to share with you using the new Hocus Pocus stamp set. It also has a set of matching Hocus Pocus dies or is sold as a bundle as shown here:

Here are two slimline cards I made with this stamp set. I stamped all of the images in the stamp set and I couldn't fit them all on one card. I ended up making two cards out of them and luckily they divided up just perfectly!

I die-cut a rectangle from white cardstock using the SSS Nested Slimline Rectangle dies. I used a Ranger Mini Domed Blending Foam applicator to apply Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Sprout on the top and in Flannel for the bottom. I then attached it to a white slimline card base. I stamped all of the images in the Hocus Pocus stamp set on white cardstock with Intense Black Ink.

I colored all of the images in with Copic Markers, using colored pencils for some shading on small items. I used a silver glitter pen over some areas.I die-cut all of the images out with the matching Hocus Pocus dies. I attached them to the background using foam tape behind the tops of some of the items. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set on the top of the card. I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops over the liquid in the bottles and also added some glossy ones to the background. 

I started the exact same way with a rectangle die-cut using the SSS Nested Slimline Rectangle die. I then applied Heather PSInk to the top and Aspen PSInk to the bottom. I attached it to a white card base. I stamped all of the images (doubles of some) on white cardstock with black ink. 

I colored all of the images in with Copic markers and used colored pencils for some shading. I also used a white uniball gel pen to add lines on all the pumpkins and a silver glitter pen on some items like the broom handle. I attached all of the images to the background using foam tape beneath some. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set on the top and another on the bottom with black ink. I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops to the sky and over the silver bursts and diamonds. 

Tomorrow I'll be back with 2 slimline cards using the new Magical Crafting stamp set. I also colored all of the images in that stamp and ended up with two cards! Yesterday I shared another card using the Hibiscus Embossing Folder from the release on this blog post HERE. Here is an image of that card in case you didn't see it:
