I had seen this pillow (retails for $44) on Home Accents Today and got an inspiration to make a similar pillow using iron on flocking material and a pillow and velvet pillowcase from Ikea. My total cost was $14 (pillow, case and iron on flocking material). You could probably do it even less expensively if you used regular fabric and some heat 'n bond.
In the Fall 2011 Stampin Up! mini catalog, I saw kraft bags made with a spider cut out and thought, "Hey, I've got a cut like that on the Chic and Scary cartridge..." so I decided to make these bags. I added in the corner web, also from the cartridge. These make such quick and easy treat bags for a Halloween party. They went together very quickly!

Great projects. Love the spider gift bags!! I never really considered myself an owl lover but after seeing some of the carts and lots of owl stamps, I really like owls. They are adorable.
Great projects for the upcoming season!
I love owls! Would love that cartridge too. : ) Super cute idea with the pillows and the gift bags. Wish I could have a few more hours in the day to get all the projects done that I'd love to do. Maybe when my kids are older.
Hoot and hollar cartridge is adorable! Thanks for the chance to win. Your projects are so cute. Thanks for sharing!
Such cute sacks!! I like owls! Living here on the bluff above the creek that we call Hoot Owl Ridge we often hear them even in the house calling to each other. Sometimes they are so loud we can hear them when the TV is on!

Like owls just haven't had a need for them in my scrapbooks. If I win the cartridge I'll have to try to incorporate them on some of my pages. Thanks for the chance to win!
I just love when I open my mail and there is an everyday cricut email waiting for me. You ladies have the BEST ideas!! As for owls, I have always loved them. I am even planning on doing an owl project for one of my kids' school Halloween parties. I will have to let you know how it turns out!!!
Thanks again for all of your ideas ;)
These owls are so cute! Love the whimsy of these little guys, so sweet.

Whooo doesn't love owls? We live out in the country and get to listen to them any night we have our windows open. I love birds in general so I really like the pillow.

Just love those adorably spooky bags and love owls. Have you ever seen the movie of a young teen trying to save the owls that burrow under the sand.
Love the owls. They make me smile... I can see where different expressions would fit different occasions.
Also like the spider & web bags. How SIMPLE! I think sometimes we forget a project need not be elaborate or complex to be cute and appreciated! :)
Loved the crowned bird since the first time I saw it and used it on cards last Halloween. But I LOVE LOVE it on the pillows- So chic!
Love the craft bags!
Loved the chic and scary pillows, but this bear picture is just the right one for me to make for my grand niece. Can't wait to get started.
Really cute ideas!
I love the pillow and the bags.
I love all your projects. Great ideas. I love owls too.
The bear hanging is the absolute cutest ever. I may have to purchase that cartridge. Thanks again for this great website.
Oh my gosh, LOVE the owls. My new niece arriving in December will have an owl-themed nursery. This would be so great to help decorate with :)
So very cute! Thanks for sharing!
Cute bear...but a lot of pieces to cut out and glue...
Love these sooooo much. I really get into Halloween and the cartridge is adorable.
Hope to see more Halloween ideas.

Love owls! Or "hooters" as my hubby calls them--boys never really grow up, do they!
Whooo does not like owls. I love them, cute bear card. Great projects to do.
Awesome bag! The owls are so cute.

I love owls - the real ones and the whimsical. Thanks for the chance to win the cartridge. What fun!
I love the bags...too cute.. Owls has never been my favorite, but they are actually cute...I helped my friend do an owl bday party for her lil one and that made me like them so much more.
Very cool bag and pillow
Love the pillow and the bags! Thanks for sharing!
Merilee
really cute pillow. love using cricut with fabric!
Whoooo doesn't love owls. The pillow is super cute too!
Love that pillow, and the bags turned out great... i'm still holding on to summer mode. It's hard to beleive that halloween is so close already.
Love the pillow idea.... that would make a great gift for a girlfriend and you could personalise it to her likes. Well done!
The post should have been labeled chic pillows and scary bags. Great projects. Owls - I like them but probably not love.
LOVE the treat bag - so creative!!!
Thanks so much for the chance to win the owl cartridge - I am just starting to embrace the owl trend. We are finally seeing really cute owl images, and I am loving them!!
I really like Owls..they were very popular back in the 70's/80's weren't they? (Like Mushrooms use to be!) Really like the gift bag idea for Halloween! I made a fab buy at Micheal's recently on some black bags, so I'm going to use your idea but maybe add 'ghosts' to my black bags? You are so creative! TFS.
great projects
I love your Halloween treat bags. And the owl cart is great. Owls are so cute.
Scary!...In a good way.
LOVE owls...I don't use them near enough!
Great projects! Love the pillow idea!
I am a fan of owls - especially the adorable ones on Hoot and Holler! I'd love to win it!
My sister loves owls! I can just picture all of the crafty things I could do for her with this cartridge.
