Halloween Octagonal Box - LNS October Challenge

I have made an Octagonal box (the lid comes off) before, and I was actually really wanting to make a Halloween one.  So, when I saw the challenge with LNS for October, I thought this was the perfect opportunity.
I used a video tutorial by Beth Beard here

Rosette Wreath - a CASE

I saw this Rosette wreath on Pinterest and was absolutely fascinated by it, so I made one too.  It was originally created by Mary Haugan (I think that's the name), and what a wonderful job she did.
Here is mine.  It is not exactly the same, but close enough.

The Rosette is made using Flowerpot DSP.  The center is made using the framelets from Starburst Sayings and Circle Framelits.  The sentiment was embossed with white embossing powder on Crumb Cake card stock and die cut using the Apothecary accent framelit.  A piece of burlap ribbon is adhered behind the center piece.  A rose made with the Spiral Flower die completes the wreath.

Stamp: Kinda Eclectic
Inks: Versa Mark, Crumb Cake, Hello Honey
Papers: Tangelo Tango, Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Flowerpot DSP, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Rosette die, Starburst framelit, Circle framelits, Apothecary Accent framelit, Burlap ribbon, Small butterly punch, Medium butterly punch, Spiral Flower die, hot glue gun

I enjoyed making it so much I made one with Christmas paper.

Spooky Tootsie Roll - another craft fair item

I saw this idea on Pinterest and modified it to make a special treat for Halloween - to sell on my craft table this weekend- an altered Tootsie roll.

Technique:
1.  Make the rosette using 1 1/2 by 12" strip of Halloween paper. (I used the designer rosette die to make the rosette)
2.  Punch a scallop circle in a coordinating color (basic gray), followed by a 1 3/8" circle in another coordinating color (Cajun Craze)
3.  Attach the two punchies together.
4.  Stamp the word "Spookie" on whisper white card stock, punch out with an oval punch.  Sponge edges (Cajun Craze).  Attach to scallop circle unit.
5.  Stamp image of witches hat on Whisper White card stock.  Color with markers.  Cut hat out and attach to the right edge of "spookie" - at an angle.
6.  Hot glue this to the top of the rosette.
7.  Make the hanging streamers (from a halloween hair piece and Easter grass), hot glue to back of rosette, hot glue another scallop circle to the streamers and hot glue this to the Tootsie roll

The hair piece, Easter grass, and tootsie roll were purchased in the dollar store.  The designer paper I used is from last year's Halloween paper.
