These Halloween cupcake toppers are such a hoot {smile}. Whooo’s with me? Whooo’s going to throw a little h-OWL-oween party? Are you getting in the mood? I know I am!
Did you know that October is ‘owl month’? It makes sense, October being Halloween and all. Owls are nocturnal animals and they can be pretty spooky with those adorable great big owl eyes and a very quiet wing flap in flight. Let’s not forget that eerie ‘hoo hoo’ sound they make too!
If can’t tell already I love owls! I just love that every year Stampin’ Up!® has a stamp set that features an owl. It didn’t take much coercion that I had to own that set! The Have a Hoot bundle is a total MUST HAVE. This week I’ll move on from the Halloween makes and start on my Christmas makes. I don’t want to give it all away, but you will want to check out November’s posts for ideas on using this stamp set for Christmas cards, packaging and small gifts. Check out this gorgeous Pocket Treat Bag that would wow any trick-or-treater stopping by!
Don’t be fooled by the detail and intricacies of these Have A Hoot Halloween cupcake toppers. They are really easy to make! You could make a set of three in under 30 minutes – easily!

Prepare the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine and have the Peek A Hoot dies ready.

On Whisper White stamp the Have A Hoot images in Memento ink.
