The Halloween Village Dwellings for Haunted Holtzville are almost finished. Though some of the houses still need more spooky decor.
So the 3 houses for Haunted Holtzville are the Spiky Shingled House, the Rough Sawn Plank House and my favorite - the Haunted Manor.

Halloween Village Dwellings - The Spiky Shingled House
For the Spiky Shingled house, I made a pumpkin tree. Since I needed more color for this house I made a bottle brush tree out of sisal rope. Then I used various distress inks to give it a dark color. And I made little tiny polymer clay pumpkins and glued them to the tree. Kind of silly, I know, but I think it looks cool. The pumpkin tree provides this very monochromatic house some much needed color. To make the Spiky Shingled House I just used the basic Sizzix Village Dwelling die.
Here is the Spiky Shingled House.
I scattered some pumpkins below the tree to look they have fallen off the tree, but I haven't glued them down yet. I may add an owl or a bat or another bird at some point. The roof is made from the off cuts of one of the set of shingles on the Village Rooftops die. I think it looks a little more menacing that the other dies.
You can also see the branches from the Sizzix Bird Branch die that I used at the porch supports. For the brick wall I used a Tim Holtz brick stencil.
Here the Sizzix Bird Branch shows up a little better as the porch support on this view.

Now for the Village Manor - I had the base and the basic Village dwelling house made weeks before the die arrived because I couldn't wait to make this little house. I made the base to look like a rocky outcropping.

Where can I get the svg file to cut Haunted House with Front Porch? Saw it mentioned online free for 3 days. Thanks!

Sue, that is only available as a part Craft with Sarah's event - the Halloween Craft Countdown. Since it was one of the first patterns, the only way to get it is to purchase a ticket for access to all the patterns in the Halloween Craft Countdown.
Here's the link to the actual ticket - Halloween Craft Countdown Instant Access Pass.

Love your houses, Lucy! The detail is amazing! You did a great job on your pumpkin tree decorated with pumpkins, and pumpkins on the ground. Just the right touch. Your other houses are amazing, also. I love Black Hat Inn!
Thank you for visiting my blog - I appreciate your comments very much 🙂

Lucy, your spiky shingled house is a triumph too, just like the manor house. The brickwork looks wonderful and I love the spiky roof - very clever idea! While I am here, thanks so much for joining in our Stencil It challenge at A Vintage Journey. Anne xx
