These are absolutely adorable! I especially love “the pretty little ghoul” one!
The onesies are so stinkin’ cute! We have a new baby in our family and I can’t help but think how adorable the “My First Boo” would be on him!
Omg the “my first boo” is so cute!!
These are just too cute! My favorite is the ‘pretty little ghoul’ onesie 🙂
These ideas are so super cute. My fave is the Pretty Little Ghoul!
The information you have posted is very useful
So cute! I have got to start using my cutting machine more.
Cute projects! May just be my computer, but when I click the link to design space for the frame, I get the sticker instead. Help!
Sorry about that glitch! Here is the link to the frame file and to the project instructions. I am also updating the post with the correct link. Have fun making this project!
I am planning on making Pretty Little Ghoul, but have had to SLICE the bow from the ghost, as you aren’t supposed to layer glitter onto glitter. Am I right? I’m pretty new to Cricut, but all the tutorials I’ve watched tell us this.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi. Yes, glitter should be the top layer, so you would want to slice if you used 2 glitters.
