Moldy Morty's Market - Grimsley Village - Video Tutorial - New Image Sets

Not your usual market, the customer's taste runs more to Dried Zombie Brains and Beatrix Myopia’s Eyeball Soup. The latest specials look interesting, particularly the 2 for 1 Roadkill.

The market is well stocked with Blood Coffee, Spicy Vampire Venom, Sour Milk, Scream Cheese, Voodoo Spirits, Anguished Vapors, and Vampire Vodka.

The Potions and Poisons sale starts at midnight so don’t be late.

Mr. Cleaver is in his usual place butchering something delightfully disgusting.

Hairy Hagatha has just released her latest cookbook, “The Ghoulish Gourmet.” Screaming eggs at 59 cents per dozen is a steal.

As usual, the Bones brothers are playing checkers and drinking beer.

Cadaver and Digger have arrived with their delivery of bones from the graveyard.

Terrible Tina’s Tasty Treats stand is full of ghoulish goodies.

Mr. Humerus has finished his shopping and sits on a bench reading the Grimsley Village News with his pet Spider.

There he is Mr. Morty himself creeping around the corner.

This project is packed with chipboard and paper die-cut kits that make it easy to assemble, starting with the main structure which is a Deep Storefront Box, to 10 inch Bay Windows, Bagatelle Boxes and Storage Hutch (used to construct the inside wall unit), with many more smaller items like the crates, a hanging lantern, and shelving.

Further in the post, there is a link to a video tutorial where I show you how I put the market together. In addition, I’ve created 3 new collage sheets and a digital image set. There is a link further down where you can pop over to AlphaStamps to easily see all the products I use as well as a detailed list of products with links.

And last but not least some free images to go with the project.

SPELL & POTION BOOK - NEW IMAGES - VIDEO TUTORIAL

Halloween would not be complete without a spooky book of spells and potions. The overall size is approximately 9" x 7" and made out of out of heavy chipboard. To give the book texture, I’ve used a crackle technique which I cover in the video tutorial. The skull in the center is made with polymer clay using a mold.

For this project, I’ve created a new set of Magical Book Pages to complement my older collection which gave me a total of 27 magical pages to work with (there is also a new mini version that can be used for a miniature book.)

To fill out the book, I used blank distressed looking pages to which I can add images over time and paper from the Cosmos 12 x 12 Scrapbook Paper pad, which I also used to line the inside of the book.

I’ve used beautiful hardware to connect the chipboard pieces. In the video, I’ll show you how to transform simple hinges to elegant ones.

I used various techniques to distress the pages and will demonstrate a lemon juice and heat gun technique which give pages and authentic burnt look.

House of Horrors Handmade Book - New Image Sets - Video Tutorial

Just in time for Halloween, I have a spooky book project for you titled “House of Horrors.” I’ve packed in lots of creepiness from my new image sets and other embellishments. The book is constructed using chipboard haunted house and tombstone shapes which makes it easy to assemble and decorate.

The house is full of spooky pictures of vampires, werewolves, ghosts, witches, skeleton people, and headless women. Inside you’ll find a trunk full of creepy doll heads. Behind a gate is a vampire with her coffin. The brickwork was made using a plastic mold and paper clay. I’ve used lots of candles on the pages, as I think they add to the creep factor.

A house of horrors would not be complete without ghouls. Below is a cavern with a bloody guillotine, a barrel of dolls and skeleton heads, a skeleton in a cage, and a bloody clawed coffin (made from a chipboard coffin book.)

Below are more of the spooky portraits, and note the ghost in the mirror about the dresser and the doll-headed spider climbing down the wall. To add trim to the walls on several of the pages, I used black Dresden along with spiderweb and bat die-cut chipboard borders.

On the back of the book, there is a shrouded skeleton walking through a graveyard with blood flowing from a fountain (I have the fountain image for you further down in the post.) I used paper roses with their stems twisted together to make a vine. A blood-red moon and bats complete the scene and, of course, more candles.

I choose to bind the book using some spider web ribbon from my stash. In the video tutorial, I show you an alternative method of binding the book.
