I’m always thrilled when I see the amazing ways that our crafting community brings my designs to life. Today, I’m excited to share Theresa Chin’s spooky spin on Nightshade Manor! Theresa, from California, added her own magical touches to this haunted house, and the results are simply spellbinding. 🧙♀️👻
Theresa really put her own spin on Nightshade Manor with some seriously cool details. One of my favorite touches is the “Hocus Pocus” sign above the front porch area—how cute is that? 🧙♀️
She also added purple gemstones to the "iron" fencing along the roofline, making the whole house sparkle with an eerie glow.
And how about that purple cobweb-patterned paper? It perfectly complements the purple roof on the peaked area, giving the manor a magical and mysterious vibe.
Theresa even added some extra Halloween spirit with little pumpkins on the front step and porch roof. 🎃
Theresa said, “Thank you, Mary, for such a cute addition to my Halloween decorations!"
Theresa writes that the patterned paper she used is Haunted Hollow by Park Lane.
"I think everyone has really enjoyed making this, there’s some great paper out there,” writes Theresa.
