Hearts A Flutter - Cup Cake Toppers

The new year is upon us and I am getting ready for the next holiday to celebrate.  You guessed it, Valentine's Day!  Here is the perfect idea for your sweetie or children's party cupcakes.  I made these adorable Cupcake Toppers from the "Hearts of Flutter" stamp set and framelites from Stampin Up.  I also used some additional stamps from Stampin Up's "Itty Bitty" and "Pretty Petites" (Sale-a-Bration set) sets.

These were really easy to make and could be a great activity to do with you children.
Happy Crafting,

Melanie

Inking It Up Crazy Design Team Post - Halloween Treats

Today's post for the Inking It Up Crazy is Design Team was to create Some Halloween Treats.  I decided to make some party favors and cupcake toppers.

To make the cupcake toppers and the party favors I used the 2" scallop punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, 1 1/2" circle punch & the Stampin Up "Batty for You" stamp set.  I used an extra scallop punch on the party favors to conceal the back part of the favor.  Overall this is a really quick project, the longest part was filling the celo bags with candy.

I hope this inspires you to make some of your own tasty Halloween treats.  Be sure to stop by and check out what the other ladies have come up with on Inking It Up Crazy.
Have a great weekend,
Melanie

Published in Cricut Birthdays

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my excitement in my first publications in Cricut Birthday.  They choose my cupcake toppers and birthday banner from my son's First Birthday Party.  We had a safari theme that I made using the Create-a-Critter cartridge.

Cricut asked me to take down any posts of the project until it was published.  I will repost it next and it has all the details on how to make them.

Bryan's First Birthday Bash

Bryan's Birthday Invitation

This past weekend we celebrated Bryan's First Birthday with the family.  We are celebrating a little late, but we have found that having Christmas, our wedding anniversary, Bryan's birthday and New Years with in span of a week is challenging to say the least.

For Christmas, I received this great cartridge for my Cricut called "Create a Critter" and it has such adorable animals on it.  I knew I wanted to use if for Bryan's birthday and I decided to to a Jungle Safari theme staring this little monkey on the invitation.

For the party, I wanted to see what other things that I could make.  I decided it would be great to have a festive birthday banner for when my family came.  I added some additional safari animals as spacers in the banner.

I also made a little welcome arrangement with more of our safari friends.

What party wouldn't be complete without cake.  Here is the little smasher cake I made for Bryan.  I also thought it would be nice to decorate his high chair with some jungle grass and flowers.

For the rest of the family, I decided to make cupcake and add cupcake toppers to them.  Each cupcake topper had "1st" written on one side and "birthday" written on the other.  I used the Cricut along with the Gypsy to make my own design.

I had such a wonderful time making these.  I am thinking about adding them to an Etsy Store when I get that up and running.  What do you think?  I would love to hear from you.
