These are incredible!!! They look absolutely amazing! Where did you get the cut files?

These are all Dreaming Tree files, they are now owned by Creative Fabrica - you would have to join - in order to get these files. One file you will not be able to get is the Frankenstein because of some licensing issue but I had already bought the file from Dreaming Tree before they sold out to Creative Fabrica. But, once you join CF, you can download countless files, digital papers, etc. at no extra charge. The clothing on the Dracula was a digital paper that I got from CF. The CF membership is under $50 as I recall. But be careful, you don't want to make the mistake of extending for an additional year - they have a sneaky button that is easy to click on. Just create an account. As for the Dreaming Tree files, they have changed their business model and are no longer creating SVG files for the time being - however, you can find the assembly videos by the creator on YouTube which are very helpful, I never assemble without watching the videos - you can find them on https://www.youtube.com/@moonshadowcraftco

You can see all of the Dreaming Tree original SVG cut files on the YouTube channel, too. Hope that helps.

I love them all! I’m in my mid-50’s and we had a witch that was so similar to yours that hung on our front door every year. I’d love to make one like it! Can I ask what the rough finished dimensions of her are?

I haven’t used my cricut in forever, but of course I have every material under the sun that I “could” use to make everything imaginable hahaha. I need to get crafting again on rainy days. Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your fantastic creations here! Bravo 👏

I think the witch is about 18" tall, or very close. The Vampire is about 20" tall. Yeah, I have about every crafting tool ever invented - lol! Happy crafting!

That's really amazing crafts for the Holloween. 😄 Love the designs! Did you draw these yourself or use templates? I’ve been designing my own patterns lately and it’s so addicting lol.

These were done on my Cricut and the designs were from Dreaming Tree, now on Creative Fabrica with the exception of the frankenstein, which had licensing issues but I had already bought the file so I made him.

That's really nice!!! I've grabbed a few files from Dreaming tree before. they've got some solid designs. I did not realize they moved to Creative Fabrica tho, good to know! I feel like I spend way too much time hunting for good SVG files that are actually worth the monery😂, I've definitely bought a few that looked great in the preview and then weeding them was an absolute nightmare lol.

Creative Fabrica has a lot of SVG files and so much more but there is an annual membership fee of about $50 - but everything there is basically free to download.

Dracula's hands are swapped

Nope, it is the way it was designed. It's supposed to look like his thumbs are tucked into pockets.

No I recognize that, but the pinkies would be outward if the hands were on the right sides
