Tim Holtz Sizzix Fall Halloween Release

Oh my! That Tim Holtz Sizzix Fall Halloween release was fantastic! I always come away so inspired by the makers and their creative brilliance, and I hope you do too! 

This post is just a quick overview of my makes for this release and two last minute notecards that weren't for the live, but I'm throwing them in this post anyway. I have already recorded videos for all of these makes and will be sharing them here as time allows over the next few weeks. I'm busy making for other releases and for Christmas (I know right?!) so I'll post as time allows. Until then, here are my makes and the dies and products used for each one are listed under each photo. My affiliate links are at the end of this post for most of the products.

This was a quick card I made with a note for Tim and Mario, but you may have seen it in the live.  

Products used: Toil and Trouble, Stacked Rectangles (to make the window) and 3D Lumber Texture Fade (one of my favorites!!) Decorative Trims.

 

 This was just another quick notecard I put together with a note for Tim and Mario. 

Products used: Arched, Funky Foliage, 3D Brick Texture Fade, Candlelight, Distress Mica Stains Seasonal, Distress Grit Paste - Seasonal.

I'm going to admit that at first I didn't like this guy, but then I was intrigued by him, and kept hearing Be Our Guest in my head every time I looked at him. I thought I might make a Beauty and the Beast inspired butler scene, but at the last minute, I decided I just needed to do a make with him as he is. I will do a blog post later with how I made the coffin out of a #8 tag and some 3D Lumber embossed paper. It is really easy! 

Products used: The Count, Seal Switchlit, Tiny Type Alphanumeric, 3D Lumber Texture Fade 

Note: The plastic flask for the candies I found on Amazon. If I were having a party I would have used a glass one with a cork, but since I was shipping this I went for plastic.

Pumpkinhead was also a last minute make. I had visions of a scene with a bridge, turning Winifred the zebra into a happy black stallion.....that may happen some day, but the reality is there is only so much time and so I went with a barn door tag and a flask of spare heads. hahahaha! 

 

Products used: Pumpkinhead, 3D Lumber Texture Fade, Seal Switchlit, Tiny Type alphanumeric, same flask off Amazon.

I have wanted to make a Disney inspired skeleton dance scene for a very long time with a few of the skeleton's from past releases, but it just never worked out. So I was thrilled when I saw Mr. Bones! He was just silly enough and just perfect for a skeleton dance! Also shout out to Emma Williams for the Etcetera tag to Ticket idea from one of her makes earlier this year. It was perfect for this make! 

Products used: Mr. Bones, Ghost Town 2, Halloween Vault Series, Distress Textures Seasonal - Grave Textures Paste and Crypt Grit Paste, Medium Etcetera Tag

These little crypt treat boxes were so much fun to make!! Can't wait to share all the details with you. in a future post. 

 

Products used: Costume Party, Mini Mechanics 3D Texture Fade, Mini Foundry 3D Texture Fade, Brickwork 3D Texture Fade, Seal Shiftlit, Tiny Type Alphanumeric, Distress Textures Seasonal - Crypt Grit Paste, Grave Texture Paste, Distress Crayons, #8 Tombstone Etcetera, small Vignette Box, Distress Paint

Yes! I was inspired by Disneyland again ...this time it was the Main Street Pumpkin Festival. I'm super excited to jump into explaining all the details on these fun pumpkins, but for now, here are the products I used. I checked online for some of the older ones and found a few available from online retailers around the world, so if you are interested in the two retired ones, do a search and good luck.

Products used: Pumpkin Patch, Leaf Fragments, Foliage 3D Texture Fade, Varsity Alphanumeric, Stacked Rectangles, The Gent, Potted 2, Potted, Winter Wardrobe, Trick or Treater, Hip Haunts, Layered Jack-o-lantern 662373, Frightening Faces 663090,

If you made it this far, thank you so very, very much for stopping by and remember, I have videos already made for these makes and will be sharing them in future posts with photos and details, so I hope you will stop back by for those in the next few weeks.
