An Unfortunate Ending - Tim Holz Stampers Anonymous Halloween 2024

 

 This is a project I made for the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous 2024 Halloween Release.

 

 Here is the video tutorial for this project.

 

 To make the stone background I colored a small Etcetera Tag with Distress Oxide Sprays in Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss and Black Soot. When dry I spread Crypt Grit Paste through the Slate THS085 stencil. Once dry I went over it with some Hickory Smoke Distress Crayon to bring more gray to the forefront.

 I colored the images with Stormy Sky, Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke, Scorched Timber and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks.

Then fussy cut them out and added a thin mat of Mixed Media Heavystock colored with Old Paper and a spray of Fossilized Amber Spritz.

 

 After adhering the stamped images to the tag, I layed the large Batty layer stencil over them and the tag and spplied Black Paque Texture Paste through the tag. It did cover some of each image but that was part of the design plan and I love it!

Now let’s go have a creative day! 😃

Eclectic Elements Holidays Past Christmas Fabric - Tim Holtz

Photo Credit Tim Holtz

I’m always so grateful that Tim Holtz asks me to make with his Eclectic Elements fabric line despite the fact that I cannot sew a straight line and am a functionally inept sewer. 😂 I am the “If I can make it, anyone can make it” fabric maker and I’m happy to hold that self-given title. 

So trust me when I say that if you see anything here that you want to make but think you can’t…YOU CAN! You can do it. 

I was “under the needle” for this one and did not get any tutorials made but here are links to all the patterns I used.

Fabric Owls  I put my own twist on these with the twig feet and noses. Don’t you love that plaid lunch box Tim has?!

I made two of these snowmen. The first one I made with just plain white flannel, but wanted to try one with the calendar toile and I love it!!  I switched out a twig nose for the felt one in the fabric.

Snowman Pattern

Tip on the hat for this. I used the pattern, but instead of covering poster board with fabric, I just cut and hot glued / fabric glued stiff felt and greenery I bought at Hobby Lobby.

The wreath was made in much the same manner as the one I did last year so I will link the tutorial here. 

I attached the music fabric to cardstock with fusible web, then die cut it with Festive Stems 664757 Bigz die. It has three holly leaves attached and it filled in the wreath quickly. The Buffalo Plaid Holly leaves are from Holly Branch 657468. The berries are just yo yos with a little stuffing in them. The bow is just a tube I sewed but you could use fabric glue or hot glue. 

Here is the tutorial I did with the leaves last year. This was pretty much the same technique.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you found something to inspire you!

You Boo You Card - Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halloween 2024

 

Hello! This is the first make I am sharing that was for the Tim Holtz Halloween stamp release for 2024. I used the Boo Crazy stamps along with an old favorite, the Crazy Things stamps for the little jack-o-lanterns, glasses, and bow tie.

Here is a quick tutorial. I forgot to hit record during the masking/stampin portion, but I I quickly talked through it once I realized it. Sorry, I didn't have time to go back and re-do everything so I just had to pick it up where I left off. It just happens sometimes when you are making, designing, trying to meet a deadline and film yourself all at the same time. I hope you find it helpful regardless.
 

Here is a link to info all about the Teal Pumpkin Project.

 Have a Creative Day!

Eclectic Elements Laboratory Halloween Makes

Hey Makers! This is a quick post with a picture of eah of my makes for the Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements Laboratory Halloween Fabric Live. I added the bonus makes too. I will have a post about each one and a video for a couple coming but wanted to post pics with links to those that had patterns available, and so you could see which fabrics I used as well. I hope you find this info helpful.

These were made from this pattern that I purchased from Threads That Bind. 

This Etsy shop has sold out of the pattern but is restocking right now. So please check back or message the shop owner to let her know you are interested.

Fabrics are Composition, Molecular, Experiment.

They use a technique called Reverse Appliqué. I almost didn’t do it because I was afraid it would be too difficult but it actually turned out not to be that difficult.

The Mummy cats were made exactly the way I made the others here, except I just wrapped them with Idea-ology Mummy Cloth. 

The fabrics are Flourish, Tapestry, and Tattered.

I made my own pattern for these tombstones, so I will make it into a PDF and make it available.

Fabrics are: Composition and Creepy. Skulls are from Wool Flannel.

Kevin the Primitive Bat

Kevin is from a pattern I purchased off Etsy from Raven's Haven The smaller bat is the original size from the pattern and the large bat is made 25% larger (enlarged with written permission from Raven's Haven per the Use of Sales agreement) 

Fabrics used are Striped and Cracked Black

Eyeballs were made with a pattern from Muchoxoxo. You can find the pattern and their tutorial here.

Fabrics are Experiment, Flourish and Tapestry as well as Black Cracked and Regions Beyond Cobwebs.

The bats and bones are my patterns so I will redraw them and make them both a PDF that will be available soon.

Fabrics are Striped, Flourish and Tattered.

Bones Pattern PDF is coming soon.

Fabric used is Formula

These Halloween Pokes are also my own patterns so I will put them into a PDF and make them available soon as well.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like the fabric projects I made for this release. I will be working on little tutorials, making the patterns  for the Halloween pokes, bones, bats, and tombstones, and getting this available as soon as I can. I'll post on Instagram when I add anything new!
