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.
Marbled Pumpkins

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.

 Fabrics used are:
    Skull - Formula and Wool Flannel
    Frankenstein - Experiment, Black Cracked, and Wool Flannel
    Raven - Composition

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!

Have a creative day,

Tim Holtz Sizzix Halloween Vault

Fright - A Halloween Spring
 What a fun release from Tim Holtz and Sizzix! I had a blast making with them and am so thankful to have been asked to be a part of this release. Here are the things I made for the live. I will have tutorials on all of them when I have a little break during this very busy making season. It's pretty crazy around here with deadlines until the end of September so I appreciate your patience as I roll out tutorials when I get a chance.

That being said, I know that some makers only need to see a picture to get inspired so here they all are in one spot. Have fun!

Outtakes - a humorous make with the ghosts

Pieces of the Past

 

I made this double-sided vignette for the Tim Holtz Idea-ology 2024 Live release. It was inspired by Vintage shops selling great bits of pieces from the past.

I used so many bits and pieces of Idea-ology, that the tutorial is a long one. I added time stamps in the description so you can skip to parts you are most interested in if you don't have time to watch the whole thing.
Side one has the back of two Vignette Boxes (2nd to largest) and the inside of one square Vignette Box (2nd to largest) The boxes are attached together with some Collage Medium and I leave them overnight to dry.
This stamp catalog ephemera is from the Memoir Ephemera pack. I used old book pages to make it into a book then cut out part of the pages to make room to hide the batter pack and wire. I added some Postmarked stamps and a Label Frame and Quote Tile
In the center box I made some fake envelopes bu folding pieces of Backdrops papers and tying them in stacks behind some letters I found in I believe the Memoir Ephemera Pack. I also added a corked vial I painted and put some Bouquet clusters in it.
The back side of the right box just has the Salvaged Heart, Typed Tag, Typed Token and one of the Montage Layer Frames.
The Salvaged Heart was painted pink and then collaged with a piece of the Serendipity Collage Paper.
Making the Postmarked covering for the top and sides of the vignette was a lot of fun!
The other side of the vignette has two boxes and one back panel.
The left box has several tiny book made with book covers from the Memoir Ephemera Pack, the Trophy Cup Figure Stand, a Silverware Adornment, and a Sweetheart Adornment in a Deco Frame.
I love making the tiny books!
I have a segment of the tutorial that shows how I make these little books.
I aged this Figure Stand with Mushroom Alcohol Ink and Picket Fence Distress Paint.
I added some numbers from a sheet of Rub-ons.
I attached a Deco Frame and adornment to a piece of Chipboard and then added some Grit Paste, then painted with Distress Picket Fence Paint. I wiped some of the paint off then let it dry. Then added some Gilded Foundry Wax, an other layer of Distress Paint and finished by adding a bit of Scorched Timber Distress Crayon with a water brush.
The back of this box was covered with paper from Backdrops Volume 4.
Then I added a few pictures from Photobooth and some letters from the Palette Ephemera.
I added a few stamps from the same Ephemera pack, some of the Cello Sticker Tape and some Clippings Stickers.
The last box has a Baseboard Window in the back that was aged with Distress Crackle Paste and Distress Crayons.
 I aged am Optic Frame with Grit Paste, then added some Mined Foundry Wax and finished it with some Scorched Timber Distress Crayon.
The Mini Dome is filled with Hing Fasteners, some painted and others not. The little tape measure is part of a Paper Strip, and the 2/6 is from the Memoir Ephemera Pack.

Lastly, I tied some string around a typewriter tin piece from the Junk Drawer Baseboards, and made a tag out of a Curator Snippet. I colored the dog from Figure Stands 2 with Mined Foundry Wax, and painted a Corked Vial white, then added a Curator Snippet and put a half an arrow from Quill Adornments into the cork. 

There are many more details of course in the long video tutorial, but I hope these photos and the video will together help you as you make your own vignettes.

Have a creative day!
