TIM HOLTZ STAMPERS ANONYMOUS HALLOWEEN RELEASE




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

CANDY CASKET - HALLOWEEN IDEA-OLOGY



 

Hello! Today's post is about CANDY! One of my favorite topics. I seriously
cannot get over how stinking cute the little Candy Corn Confections are from Tim
Holtz Idea-ology. So I was inspired to make an over the top Halloween candy
shop. Right away I want to let you know that I purchased several packages of the
Confections, the Candy Corn and the Bubbles so that I would be able to have a
lot of candy in this make. So I just wanted you to know that right of the bat so
there is no confusion if you have one package and your make doesn't look as full
as mine.










I did light this up because of my back storhy on this piece. I imagined that a
cool, hip young couple saw an old casket company for sale, so they bought it and
restored it to be a candy store. Since there were old caskets still in the
place, they turned some of them into candy displays like this one. So they added
modern elements (like purple lights) to add a modern flair to their store. The
story made it a fun project to work on.



Here is the link to a video tutorial I made as I was working on this project. I
hope you enjoy it!



Here is how I added the lights...


As you can see, I drilled one hole in the far back corner of the top of the
Shrine, then rolled the lights together and adhered them to the top of the box
on the back of a piece of Pinked Etcetera Trim and a Baseboard Word Strip..

 
Here is all is lit from the top.






 
The sign was made by coloring the Black Two-toned Woodgrain paper from Tim Holtz
and Ranger Ink with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. I cut the shape of the sign
from the new Sizzix Postale. Then I used the Theory Alphanumeric dies to cut the
name of the shop. I backed the piece with a second piece of the black woodgrain
that was colored with Picket Fence Distress Stain.




 
The first shelf has Confections, Jack-o-lantern and a baseboard.










I colored the confections with a Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress
Crayon and a Water Brush.

 
I also colored the basedboard pieces with the same Distress Crayons.




 

The second shelf has "sugared" Bubbles spilling from a Cauldron.


 
To color the Bubbles, Add some drops of alcohol ink to a small plastic
container. Drop the Bubbles into the container and swirl them around until they
are covered. Let dry on a piece of paper, a paper plate, a piece of freezer
paper....




 
When they are dry, then put some Glossy Accents on your thumb and pointer
finger, and roll a bubble in the Glossy Accents on your fingers until it is
completely covered. Then drop it into a small container with Distress Rock Candy
Glitter. Swirl the glitter container until the Bubble is covered with glitter.
Leave it in there and continue with several more Bubbles. Leave them in the
glitter for 10-15 minutes until they dry. Then continue until all the Bubbles
you colored are glittered.





The bottom shelf is covered with that delightful Candy Corn Confections.


 In the tutorial video I show how I make this Barrel appear to be full of Candy
Corn when it really isn't. You don't want to waste any of it!


I think I used two and a half packages of Candy Corn Confections in this make. I
just love it and bough multiple packages as soon as they were available.  Also I
forgot to add that before I added anything to the shelves, I attached some of
the new Crepe Fringe along the back of the shelf to fill in a little of the
space. 



 On the back of the shrine I scrapedtwo lines to make it look like planks. Then
added some Tack Nails to the top, middle and bottom of the piece so it looks
like an old casket.

 
 At the bottom of the back, I stamped Casket Co from the Rest in Peace stamp
set. I stamped it in Picket Fence Distress Paint. I love how it looks old and
distressed and worn off.







 
Here is a view of the side where I added more Tack Nails.





I had so much fun making this Candy Casket and I hope you enjoyed learning about
it too.




I am always thankful that you take the time to stop by my blog and support me
and my art. So thank you!

Have a crafty day,

Tami

CATS ON A MOONLIT ROOF



Cats on a Moonlit Roof was a fun little vignette to make for the Tim Holtz
Sizzix Hallowen 2022 release. Do don't need a lot of supplies, so I cover those
in my intro. The main thing with this make are the fun dies. 







As usual, I recorded myself making this project so I invite you along to watch
this come together.


  

I love the way it worked to have the lights shine out from the back of Otis.




 
This angle shows the different placements of the dies.




 
How cute is that sleeping kitty? And look at the texture on the roof! Crypt Grit
PAste and Wocen Texture Fade for the win!





The outside of the vignette is as important as the inside to me.


I know I do this technique a lot but it really is simple and I love how it
carries the theme to the outside of the project.



I am always thankful that you take the time to stop by my blog and support me
and my art. So thank you!

Have a crafty day,

Tami

AN ODE TO POE - HALLOWEEN IDEA-OLOGY


The 2022 Halloween Idea-ology release from Tim Holtz is fabulous! So many great
products that can be used year round so be sure to stock up!
 
As I was going through the products when I got them, there were a few pieces
that inspired this make: the ravens, the baseboard chamber door and the piece of
Poe ephemera.



 

I started trying to think of what things I could use to make a project that
could showcase some of Edgar Allan Poe's stories and poems.



This was the outcome. I hope you enjoy it!

Here is the video tutorial for this project. 



Here are the links to my previous tutorials for making the trays and boxes into
books that I referenced in the video tutorial:

A Christmas Carol

Live Your Story



Below are just the closeups of the project.


Annabel Lee  - a poem by Edgar Allan Poe


The Raven - A poem by Edgar Allan Poe


I decided to leave the metal on the card file since I was doing books. It seemed
appropriate.  
This book vignette represents the short story The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar
Allan Poe.

 
I used a bunch of Distress Crypt Grit Paste on this vignettte!






The fork sconce made from Adornments Silverware.

The Cask of Amontillado made from an Idea-ology Barrel and Halloween Remnant
Rubs.

 
This story of revenge takes place in the Montressor family catacombs and there
are bones everywhere.


The short story The Gold Bug is about looking for pirate treasure.

 
 It begins when a man finds a gold bug with a skull on its shell.

 
 Then he and some friends use a skull and the bug to find the pirate treasure.

 
This is the view from the other end of the piece.




 

The Oval Portrait is an very, very short story by Edgar Allan Poe.



 
It is about a traveler who takes refuge in an abandoned house and discovers a
very lifelike oval portrait and a diary that tells its story.







 

Poe's chamber or studio is represented in this area. You see candles and books
and things I imagined he used as inspiration for his stories.


 

On the top shelf are a bunch of books I thought Poe might use for reference, but
tucked between them is a letter. It represents one of the first detective
mystery stories called The Purloined Letter.


 

I had been wanting to use this man with his cat paperdoll, and figured this was
as good a time as any. I framed him holding his cat, because Poe has a short
story called The Black Cat. I know this cat isn't black but again, I am using a
man who loves his cat as inspiration for Poe's story.





The eye on this shelf really stands out.


Both the eye and the heart under the floor boards are from the short story The
Tell Tale Heart.



I just added a raven and skull on the bottom level thinking they might be
inspiration for his poem The Raven and for the Gold Bug Pirate story. The papers
and pen nib are representative of him writing a story.

You did it! You made it all the way to the end! I truly hope you like this
project as much as I do. I really had such a fun time working on it and trying
to find things to include that could represent different poems and short
stories. Thanks also for bearing with my literary geekiness as well. LOL! I
tried to control myself and to be honest, I could have been a lot worse. :-D
Regardless, I appreciate you sticking with me to the end.


I wish you a very crafty day!
