It’s just around the corner – the Holiday mini! At the moment, my favorite tool in the mini is the Holiday Stocking die. One of the projects shown at convention looked something like this – 
This is two stockings with a Big Shot box #2 (closed with on side cut off) in the middle. It will hold treats or a small gift!
Supplies
Stamp Set – Tiny Tags
Ink – Basic Black
Big Shot – Holiday Stocking, Box #2
card stock – Real Red, Very Vanilla, retired DSP
Etc – 5 Petal Flower punch, jingle bells (Holiday Mini!), Square Lattice embossing folder, Tiny Tag punch, floss
Love it – but I want to use the die for more than Christmas! So I turned it into a witch’s shoe – 
This was done the same way – two stockings and a box #2 in the middle – with a Big Shot 3 1/2 circle used to make the toe of her boot. Die cut the circle and take a “bite” out of it with the 1 3/4 circle punch.
Then attach it to the front of the boot – 
I free hand cut the heel so it looks like a shoe and added Word Window punched pieces to the front for laces or straps. Then I added lots of bling – because this is a stylish witch!
The Box #2 is angled inside for treats!

As usual Fran, more awesome items to CASE! Thanks again for your ideas. Mary
The witches boot is the cutest thing. The toe is just a separate circle attached on the underside of the boot, right? You are just so creative, Fran. I love your email every day and it is the first thing I look for when I turn on my pc. Great stuff!
