Halloween gift box CCC

  Hi Everyone, number 1 of my DT makes today is for -

Critter Crazy

Whether Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, 
Scaly, or Insect, there must be a critter.
 

 I decided to do something different today. I have been looking through my files, and have so many things I haven't used, that I decided now was the time for this fun Bat to make an appearance. It is Halloween at the end of the month, after all. 

The file is an svg, so I took it into my Silhouette, or digital die cut machine, and cut it out. There were quite a few pieces, the black pieces are attached to the main box on each side, but it was fun putting it together and to use some ribbon, again I don't use enough of it. It's 10 inches (25.4 centimetres) long. I was so excited to get it finished, I forgot to ink around the bat! I'll do so for the others I make, even make them a little smaller, hoping we have some visitors this Halloween, it's not a big thing around here. Although, I'm sure it will be a treat if they do come.

Love it Faith, we get fewer visitors each year but always buy sweets just in case then we have to eat what’s left !!😂 xx

Now that is cute! I like to see the little ones in their costumes, but our puppydog doesn't like people coming to the door. Luckily, we get very few in our neighborhood.

So cute or is it supposed to be scary ? I love that little guys eyes they made me smile. Halloween isn't a thing here in Greece cos I would love to make something like this fantastic cracker to give away filled with sweeties.

Your bat is too too cute! I get so distracted by all the supplies I've yet to use when I'm looking for something, it's a wonder I ever find what I'm seeking or actually use any of them, lol. XOX
