Halloween Cards

I was inspired to make these cards after watching Robyn at My Pink Stamper's tutorial.

Ghost Pop

It is so cute! I borrowed this idea from Robyn at My Pink Stamper. Boo... Halloween is almost here. This ghost pop is so simple to make. All you need is Tootsie Pops, coffee filters, a stamp, black ink and ribbon or twine to tie it together.

Ms. Owl's a Hoot!

Isn't she cute! I made her with the Cricut Expression and used the Cuttlebug to emboss her eyes. Also made the cute coordinating envelope to match.

I made this popcorn cup using the Cricut Expression and used Prima flowers for embellishment.
