Pediment Tombs + Spiderweb Gate; Wrought Iron Inserts; FREE Gift!
Filed under Altered Tins, Halloween, Shannon Cooper
Wow! The Charnel House by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper is a spooky Halloween book made from all THREE chipboard tombs that are back in stock today (and a lot of other goodies).
Note that the double doors at the bottom of the photo at right can open (preview at left). I love the giant bat with hands (?!) above the gothic arch (and the columns on either side with skulls on top).
I also love all the texture on these pages. Shannon built up layers of scrapbook paper, collage sheet images, die-cut chipboard pieces, charms, watercolor pencils, stamps, Dresden trim, markers, paint, and ink. Whew!
The Spiderweb Gate is back today, too. See directly below for how Shannon “hinged” it open with the archway from the Gothic Arch Tomb behind it (with a big scary Nosferatu image peeking through)!
Here’s a link to Shannon’s original blog post (with lots more photos and tips: like making the spine by accordion folding heavy black cardstock to accommodate the thickness of the pages). Note: we moved sites since her post so use my link for her supplies… and don’t forget all of them are included in the sale!
A FREE Gift with All Orders
I’ve picked out this new gift set inspired by that close-up from Shannon’s The Charnel House at right!
Two items are in the gift kit:
– Chipboard Corner Spider Web (normally sold in a set but just one in this giftie)
– One of the Mini Black Spiders (added to the sale, too).
The Chip Web & Spider Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight October 8, 2025)!
New Altoids Tin Inserts
The Quatrefoil Border Altoids Insert (at right) and the Wrought Iron Gate Altoids Insert are both new and would be fun to turn into a Halloween altered tin.
Both are custom cut to fit inside an Altoid’s tin (well.. the blank ones we carry; an actual Altoid’s tin is a hair wider than our blank ones).
NEW: The Charnel House SALE
One more back-in-stock item (also in Shannon’s artwork) is shown at right: Round Roman Pediment Tomb (yes, that’s the one in the “undertaking” page above with the free gift info).
By the way, in that close-up above: the creepy teeth around the top of the curve are from Poe Story Elements Collage Sheet.
Over 30 items are on sale, including:
– all the new or back-in-stock items,
– the items in the Gift Kit,
– all of the supplies from Shannon’s The Charnel House (a few of the MANY collage sheets are highlighted below)
There’s a new AUTOMATIC DISCOUNT for an extra 25% off the listed prices: you’ll see the discount in your cart — no code required!
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, October 8th at midnight PST.
