Embellish By Dena Cupcake Toppers

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made for Darice using the gorgeous new Embellish By Dena Little Azalea Papers.

Now, if you know me, you know I love me some cupcakes...and with just a few simple supplies I can make my cupcakes extra special. 

DIY CUPCAKE TOPPERS SUPPLIES:

• Patterned scrapbook paper (I used Embellish by Dena Little Azalea)
• Clever Lever extra large giga scallop circle punch
• Plain scrapbook paper (I used Core’dinations Core Essentials in snowflake)
• Darice 2 inch picture circle punch
• David Tutera Celebrate heart embellishments (or other embellishments of your choice)
• Mini Glue Dots
• Tape runner
• Toothpicks

Step 1. Begin by punching your patterned paper with the large scallop circle punch. Punch as many circles as cupcake toppers needed.
Step 2. Next, punch the same number of non-scalloped circles from your plain cardstock. Adhere your non-scalloped circles to your scallop cutouts with a tape runner.
Step 3. Embellish your DIY cupcake toppers. Add as many or as little embellishment as you want. I like the heart die cuts from the David Tutera Celebrate line because they are versatile enough to use for many occasions. They’re great for birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers and more.
Step 4. Using glue dots, attach a toothpick to the bottom of each circle set. Now you can simply insert your DIY cupcake toppers into your cupcakes to make your treats extra special! Easy as
pie….cupcakes.

 

Embellish By Dena Designs

Oh my goodness....can I just tell you I have fallen in love with a new paper line.  No, it isn't Prima, or Crate Paper, or probably anything you have heard of...it is Embellish by Dena Designs.  This paper is manufactured by Darice and I just love it.  I love the mix of patterns, colors...oh goodness I could go on and on.  But how about if I show you some of the things I have posted over on the Darice blog instead.

These cupcake toppers have a quick tutorial.  I love how quick and easy they were to make, plus they add so much personality to an otherwise typical plate.

Cupcakes not your thing?  These adorable pinwheels were made with the same paper pack.

special should out to my fried Judy for letting her girls come by and play with the pinwheels. 

Right now the papers are available at Consumer Crafts and Amazon.com.  Be sure and check them out.

Hugs.

Tuesday - Blast Off

Hi everyone!  I hope those of you here, in the US enjoyed your Memorial Day.  I love a three day weekend and this one was much needed as we begin cabana swim season.  Today I have a post up over on the Sampler blog.  So be sure to check it out.

I really wanted to share with you a project I did for my good friend Sue.  Her grandson is soon to celebrate his fifth birthday so I helped out by making a few decorations for his party.  I used the super fun Blast Off paper crafting kit from Hydrangea Hippo.

A cute banner, a few pinwheels, cupcake toppers and a gift bag were all made using this kit and just a few items I am sure you have around the house (toothpicks, straws and adhesive).

 I know he can't wait to share these goodies with his friends.

The weather here has been so gorgeous these last few weeks that I am sure these decorations will be perfect outside.

 I am not quite sure what goodies Grandma is going to stash in the gift bag, but I am sure it will be great.

Well, we have a busy day around here so I best get back to work.

Hugs.
