I ordered the Halloween Rub Ons and couldn’t wait to use the faces to make a few gifts for my next door neighbors grandchildren. This has become sort of a “tradition” – giving their grandchildren something cute at Halloween.
The little jars were purchased at Michaels for a dollar! After rubbing on the faces, I put a 1 3/4 circle (punched with the wonderful new circle punch) in Chocolate Chip on the top and added a little wooden piece that I found in my “odds and ends” box. To make it brown, I rolled it over the Timber Brown Stazon pad. A piece of a stick would be really cute here too. The leaves are die with the Big Shot Birds and Bloom Flower Pieces die and all of it is adhered with Tombow Multipurpose glue. If you look closely, you’ll see some of the border rub ons around the bottom of the jars. With the little piece left over, I made a tag. Add some ribbon and raffia – it’s finished! I think these would be even cuter with just candy corn in them, but I hesitate to give unwrapped candy as a gift. So I found some candy corn Hershey kisses – and they’re pretty yummy! (I HAD to sample them to make sure they were edible!) Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Big Shot Halloween
Are you ready for some Halloween? Here’s a decoration made with the new Big Shot – and the Scallop Circle die. I cut the cardboard packaging with the circle and then some of the retired Halloween DSP and covered the circle front and back.
The letters are the Serif Essentials and the spiders are from Batty for You. Can you see the googlie eyes on the spider? I punched through the scallops with the Crop a dile and connected the circles with black grosgrain and some pony beads. Easy and fun to make! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
