31 Spook Street: New Halloween Houses/Trims & New Artwork!
Filed under Collage Sheets, Halloween, Kristin Batsel, Miniatures
Hooray for Halloween! AND new Halloween supplies AND artwork!
That stack of Haunted Houses & Tombstones at right (new and sitting in the new Tombstone Tray) are just the start of today’s fun. There are new windows and trims sized for the haunted houses — and TWO new collage sheets! The 2 cat silhouette options in the photo at left are from that new trims set.
Read on for lots of eye candy by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel… plus a FREE gift with a Halloween theme. All the supply list items are just a portion of what’s in today’s sale collection! Don’t forget the sale COUPON below for an extra 20% off everything in the sale collection.
I love this project! Beside the option of using the new tray to “house” your houses, Kristin used one as the front cover of a Blank Altoids Tin.
Spooky season is here! Let’s visit one of the houses on Spook Street, number 31. I love the new Houses and Tombstones set from Alpha Stamps; they inspired me to make this tin. The houses are perfect for a scary facade on an Altoid’s sized tin, especially if you add in some Tiny Scalloped Shingles and the Mini Window for Haunted Houses (for this project, I trimmed the six pane windows down to 4 panes). I cut a door out of the Signage & Doors for Tin Covers collage sheet, and used some foam tape raise it up a bit from the house. The stones on the house are made from a cardboard egg carton, painted and cut up, then glued down individually onto the house facade.
(Note: the left side of the wide photo below shows the depth on the front cover. ALSO: another of Kristin’s clever use of egg cartons: pavers leading to the door of the Tiny 3D Haunted House.)
It’s obvious that the spooky family in this house has been getting ready for Halloween: they have carved some jack o’lanterns, and invited a little rat friend to come visit. A skeleton waves from the roofline, and a bat has fluttered by to check out the fun. Inside, a friendly ghost announces a fun spook party, and you’re invited! Hooray for Halloween!
Here’s a link to Kristin’s blog post and her supply list for 31 Spook Street.
(More) New & Back-in-Stock Supplies!
I have to start with the Halloween Bottle Toppers at right! This idea has been brewing a looong while. Tiny (yet thick) chipboard shapes to use as toppers (stoppers?) for tiny bottles. (See the toppers page for the exact bottles I used in the photo.) By the way, the same tiny group is duped (in a thinner chipboard) in the new Tombstone Trims set (along with those cats I showed above against the front fence of the tray).
ALL of today’s new & back in stock items are also in the sale collection (see the COUPON info below in the sale section)!

I was inspired by the Skeleton Woman Cameo on the front of Kristin’s 31 Spook Street. Yes, you can follow Kristin’s inspired choice, or you could pick from one of these tiny images (with a glass cab and bronze frame)!
