13 Days of Halloween - Day 13 - Tangerine Pumpkins

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I'll be sharing three posts here on my blog.

In my first post today, I'm bringing DAY 13 (and the last day) of the 13 Days of Halloween series with these Tangerine Pumpkins. :o)

To make these tangerine pumpkins I went with the same design like last year (here). Inspiration to make these tangerine pumpkins was originally from Pinterest.

I bought tangerines on a market. They came from a part of Croatia called the Neretva valley. I personally find them the most tasty tangerines and prefer to buy and eat just those. :o)

"Tangerines from the Neretva Valley is a specific product whose name was registered under the Protected Designation of Origin, and is based on the uniqueness of this product that is the result of specific environmental factors present in the Neretva Valley and the farming tradition."

How I made tangerine pumpkins....

I cleaned tangerines with a clean dry kitchen cloth, to remove any dirt from the surface.

I glued googly eyes, each different size, directly on tangerines. Then I drew mouths and stitches with a black permanent fine liner on each tangerine and they were finished. :o)

Super easy and fun to create. I made more of them, but I gave them away or they were eaten prior photographing. :o) Love how they turned out!!! :o)

List of supplies:

• tangerines
• self adhesive googly eyes
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent M
• clean dry kitchen cloth

And that is my last project from my 13 Days of Halloween series. I hope you enjoyed in the series and got inspired. :o)

Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Stop by in an hour, I'll share my 2nd post today. Enjoy and smile! :o)

13 Days of Halloween - Day 12 - Spooky Night Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I'm bringing DAY 12 of the 13 Days of Halloween series with this Spooky Night Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a GORGEOUS Halloween card made by Yainea of My Paper Journey. Amazing color combination!!! Thank you for the inspiration Yainea!!! ♥

How I made my card....

To make my card I used stamps from a  Jane's Doodles 'Haunted House' stamp set and a circle die cut from Sizzix Big Shot starter kit.

First I made masks. I die cut a circle from a post-it paper for the Moon mask. Then I stamped a tree on the post-it paper and fussy cut it.

Then I stamped the tree on a white cardstock paper panel. I masked the tree and glued the circle where I wanted the Moon to be.

Next up was ink blending. I ink blended the panel with Distress Inks (full supply list below). I splattered the panel with a water and dried the panel with a heating tool. I ink blended the panel again, splattered it and dried it. I ink blended it again until I was satisfied with the color. :o)

After I ink blended the panel, I removed masks and ink blended the tree and the Moon with a Distress Ink Black Soot. I pressed just a bit to get light shades.

When I was satisfied with colors, I stamped in black three bats on the panel.

I wanted to use a black cardstock card base for this card, but I didn't have any black cardstock large enough to make the card base from it, so I used a white cardstock paper. I folded a top folded card base and ink blended sides of the front with the Distress Ink Black Soot. I did this to hide white edges of the card base, as the panel didn't look well on it. After drying, I glued the panel on the card base and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 89 mm x 127 mm (3 1/2" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Haunted House' stamp set 
• Sizzix circle thinlits die
• white cardstock paper
• post-it paper (for masking)
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim Holtz's Distress Inks:

13 Days of Halloween - Day 11 - Black Mice Wall Decorations

Hi everyone!!! :o

Today I'm bringing DAY 11 of the 13 Days of Halloween series with these Black Mice Wall Decorations. :o)

Although it's not common here in Croatia to celebrate Halloween, my honey and I celebrate it each year, as it's our anniversary. :o) I made these mice wall decorations (and other decorations) to decorate our apartment for the Halloween night. :o)

Original idea is from Martha Stewart Paper Mice Halloween Decorations (here). This year I used different mice template (see below).

I made these kind of wall decorations previous years for Halloween, because mice wall decorations are my honey's favorite Halloween decorations. :o)

Here are the links to blog posts where I shared Halloween ambiance photos previous years:

• 2014
• 2015
• 2016

I didn't share any photos anywhere for year 2017. Last year, 2018, I didn't decorate our apartment for Halloween because we were moving out from apartment in a month to another part of Croatia. I'm so glad we did. :o)

How I made these decorations...

To make these wall decorations I used free Mice Silhouette Vector template, Vectors by Vecteezy.

I downloaded the template on my computer. I printed the template on a white cardstock paper (A4) using my printer.

I left the printout aside for 20 minutes, to let the ink dry completely. Then I fussy cut all mice.

Lastly, I decorated walls with mice. I glued tiny piece of a double sided self adhesive tape on the back side of each mouse and glued them on walls. :o)

List of supplies:

• free Mice Silhouette Vector template, Vectors by Vecteezy
• white cardstock paper
• printer Canon Pixma MP230
• double sided self adhesive tape
• scissors 

I really like how they look in action. :o)

Thank you for stopping by and your kind feedback. Enjoy and smile! :o)
