Create with Connie and Mary-Spooky Halloween

Have I said it enough this month how much I love Halloween? Well if today is your first stop by, then I will share it again, its my Favourite Holiday (after my birthday!!!). This week our theme is ‘Spooky’ Halloween and I knew right away I wanted to share one of my families favourite treats, Oreo Popcorn, with a Halloween Twist!

This is my Halloween version of my Oreo Popcorn. The original recipe is under my Lifestyle Tab, Favorite Recipes (I will share a link at the end of this post). I just added in some orange candy balls from Wilton and some candy eyeballs for that ‘spooky’ feel!

One batch of this popcorn filled at least a dozen bags with some left over for my family to snack on. This recipe lasts for a few weeks in a sealed container or bag, so it is something you can make ahead of time too. I have all of my bags packed to share at my kids Halloween classes!

I filled our Mosaic cello bags with popcorn (I hope you have spotted these in the Handmade for You catty) and topped the bag off with the largest of the Celebration Labels dies cut from Basic Black card stock and then ran it through the Cobwebs 3D embossing folder for that spooky touch!

Happy Haunting is stamped in Momento Ink on Smoky Slate card stock with the background cobweb in Smoky Slate ink—both of the images are from the Celebration Tidings stamp set. You can find this awesome bundle on page 58 of the Handmade for You. Do not overlook its potential! The dies are the BEST if you are someone who gives a lot of treats. The 5 sizes are all ‘notched’ so you can easily fold them in half to make a bag topper!

Because our theme this week was ‘spooky halloween’ I thought, what is more creepy than spiders in your popcorn? Haha! It would actually scar me for life if it was a reality! Luckily these are just cute glitter spiders that I cut using the Little Treat Box Dies and the Black Glitter Paper. I LOVE this glitter paper as it does not ‘shed’, no glitter on my cutter, hands or Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine! Win win!

I added in a couple strips of the Terracotta Tile Scalloped Lined Ribbon and coloured the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with the dark Rich Razzleberry Stampn’ Blend marker.
