Creepy Old Crypts - Sizzix Graveyard

I feel like I have been waiting ages to get to share this with you. Although I was really sick when I was making this, I still had a really good time thinking it up and putting my plans into action.
The Tim Holtz Sizzix Halloween release from 2023 has so many fun characters and images to work with it was difficult to choose, but the Graveyard set was of course going to be at the top of my must use list!
For detail photos and some information I may have left out of the video, please check mhy blog here: playswellwithpaper.blogspot.co...
Have a Creative Day!

Absolutely stunning!!! You put so much work into this project and it was so well worth it! I love it!! You rock! Bravo!!!!

[@joannequagliara6073]

Unbelievable,this is indeed absolutely superb. Thank you to Amy R from Prairie Ink for sharing. This is a very helpful tutorial for this graveyard colourize 🧡🧡🧡

[@deborahfortin7732]

I am probably one of the few people in North america who have never been to disneyland or disney world. so I have no preconception as to what this looks like at the theme park.. however this vignette diorama is freaking amazing. Your method of making this is exemplary. Your attention to detail is incredible.The thought process you must have gone through to connect all these elements to make a cohesive finished product is outstanding. Not only is this creative but exceptionally technical. I am in aw. Your teaching method is wonderful; calm, reassuring, slow enough to follow but also sped up where needed, so we don't watch glue dry. You make us feel that we too can make this.

[@Playswellwithpaper]

Thank you very much Deborah ! I so thank you watching and really appreciate that even though you’ve never been on the ride, you appreciate the design and details. Your comment made my day! Thank you!

[@frans2887]

Awesome and amazing rendition of HM! The addition of the Gentlemen ghosts is brilliant! You never disappoint viewers with your Halloween makes! Rock on, Tami!👏🎃🫶

[@marlatrindade4824]

Your oval tomb is absolutely incredible...well the whole scene is, but the detail that you crafted into that one is just 🤯

[@jillcrapo7159]

The detail and layers is absolutely stunning! Just WOW!!!🌟🌟🌟

[@francinebeckett8365]

Once again Tammy, you blew this make out of the water. Your detail to the crypt front was amazing, cutting out individual bricks, inking and trimming. I was wondering if his cobblestone 3D folder would work. Thank you for sharing. I will pray for your health going forward.

[@joannequagliara6073]

Such a beautiful vignette. Love it. Thank you for your inspiration ❤

I have watched your video so often as it’s the inspiration for my Halloween makes this year. I’m in the process of reproducing it, thanks to your inspiration, and I am enjoying this process so much. Many many many thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you Tami for all the lessons on how to put the new die kits together…I have made the basic tombstone, but have not attempted the urn or the decor on the tombstones…you made both much clearer…and using the ink pad on the embossed paper was sheer genius…I must try that…thank you for always being so awesome…Hugs…❤

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

So cool to watch your process Tami, this is such an amazing creation hun. LOVE all the details and all the elements you pulled together to create this incredible scene. Amazing watching all your inky backgrounds come together too. I really love the damask finish on your outer trims, so cool. There are just so many intricate and wonderful little details. It was wonderful to watch your process and all the wonderful tips, like the application of the Crypt Paste. So fabulous xoxo

I'm a Disney fan and Halloween is my favorite holiday so seeing you create this take on the haunted mansion was such a treat. You did such an amazing job on this! Thank you for sharing how you decorated and put this together.

[@vickienipp]

I absolutely love your tutorials, the detail that you go into simply amazes me. What an amazing make. The brick work on that Mausoleum is unreal! I am fascinated to death just watching how your mind works. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

[@valerieduffy1823]

Oh how I love your makes Tami!!! I’m actually watching you at my lunch time today from work! (I’m an elementary school librarian.) Your videos sooth my soul! I love the way you explain every detail! This make was fa-boo-lous!!! I always look forward to your makes when Tim is showing the makes! You rock!!!💗💗💗Hope you are feeling better!

[@Playswellwithpaper]

What a great job Valerie! I think I would have loved being a librarian. Books are my friends. 😊 Thank you so much for your sweet compliment. I remember how much I treasured creative moments on my breaks back when I was teaching junior highers all day. I’m so happy I can be that little bit of creativity in your day. I love that! Thanks again!

I LOOOOOOOVE EVERY MILLIMETER! I did run it back to re-watch and I didn't hear how you colored the ghostly figures. Pale pale blue,salvaged patina? Maybe? Just gorgeous throughout. Love to you and your's!

[@Playswellwithpaper]

I originally taped all the paper coloring but it was so long so I cut most of it. The ghosts were just Distress watercolor Cardstock with water, tumbled glass and lost shadow distress stains. Thanks so much for watching!! And even rewinding. 😁

[@tuxedoinn]

So much added work to film and do the tutorial! Thanks so much!

Thanks do much Simone. I’m glad my illness didn’t seem as bad as it was. And thank you for seeing a tutorial for what it is supposed to be, inspiration and a starting point for your own creativity to take over!

I’m in Alberta and have never had the money to visit Disneyland but I love everything that you make inspired by the park. You knocked this make out of the park, lol. It’s so multidimensional and creepy in the best possible way. Thanks for inspiring us all. 🤗❤️🤗

[@Playswellwithpaper]

I wasn’t able to get a dark pic of the lights, and I don’t know when this might be returned to me, but they add a slight purple sheen to it. The Glow paste wasn’t released to us yet as this was made in April so I didn’t use any glow paste. But that doesn’t mean you can’t in your version! 😃

[@gerrieswartz2692]

Tami … you did it again! I love all your creations so much. You are so talented. Can you tell me what medium and colors you used on the tomb. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@Playswellwithpaper]

I used Distress Mixed Media Heavystock and a mixture of pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke and lost shadow Distress Stains. Then I made a little pics where I added a bit of peeled paint for the mini bricks on the inside of the facade.

[@gerrieswartz2692]

@@Playswellwithpaper thank you so much! ❤️

[@Casey2007ful]

What an amazing project. The attention to detail. What colors did you use for the gate and the tombstones? And the rust color specs. ❤

[@Playswellwithpaper]

I made a bunch of colored papers for those. Varying darknesses of Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke and pumice Stone, then for the darker ones I added Black Soot. For the rust I flicked on some tea dye and Rusty hinge.

[@barbarawoodard4731]

Tami this piece is just amazing!!!!! Love the ghosts!!! What colors did you use to make the paper for them? My dream project 💚💜🖤🧡

[@Playswellwithpaper]

Thanks so much Barbara! I used Distress Watercolor Cardstock and a little Tumbled Glass and Lost Shadow Distress Stains with water.

[@joaniesjournals5329]

Me again(😂)…thank you for showing us how to use the Crypt Paste, but I had a question…Did you add the Glow Paste to your “people”???❤

[@Playswellwithpaper]

No glow paste or mica stains. We made these back in Aprils/May and none of the seasonal product was out yet. I just buy several tubs of Grit paste very year bc it’s my favorite and I had no idea if they would bring it back. So glad they did! The ghosts are just Distress Watercolor Cardstock sprayed w water, Tumbled Glass and Lost Shadow Distress Stain. Now that’s not saying YOU can’t use it though! 😃

[@valeriemichaud4849]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I found many tricks that will help me. I have a question, what is the paper you used, the one you colored before cutting ?

[@Playswellwithpaper]

I used Distress Watercolor Cardstock and Distress Mixed Media Heavystock

[@valeriemichaud4849]

@@Playswellwithpaper Thank you so much for your answer

[@melissab9209]

What did you use to color the ghosts? Phantom mist?

[@Playswellwithpaper]

The Ranger seasonal product wasn’t out yet so I didn’t use any Mica Stains. Just Distress Watercolor Cardstock, Tumbled Glass and Lost Shadow Distress Stains.

[@lourdesgallegos7508]

I might have a missed it, but how did you color the ghosts? Their coloring is perfectly ghostly!

[@Playswellwithpaper]

That part was sped up bc there was a lot of coloring! 😁 I sprayed Distress Watercolor Cardstock with water, Tumbled Glass, and Lost Shadow Distress Spray Stains.
