Cupcakes Galore!

For anyone who loves cupcakes, this is a Cupcake Whimsy Jar I did for a swap on Two Peas this past Spring. We had to get a 2 quart Cracker Jar (got mine from Walmart--it is exactly the same as the one at Hobby Lobby and cheaper), decorate it, fill it with cupcake goodies and make something handmade to go along with it.
I chose to make little cupcake cards that could be put with a gift or used as a tag. These were stamped, embossed and then I used several different colors of Stickles on them.

I embossed the cupcakes, Stickled them and cut them for the top and side of the Whimsy Jar.

I filled the jar with stamps, stickers, ribbon, cupcake liners, sprinkles and anything Cupcake I could find!

This was a great swap and I had so much fun with it! Hope you enjoy! Now it's time to go and CREATE! Have a great evening!
Big Hugs,
Steph

Flowers Galore

Happy Tuesday to everyone! I am starting to get back into the swing again.

I love flowers! I wanted to share an altered item with you that I did a few months ago!! This was for a flower swap I was in at 2Peas! We had to decorate a 13.5oz Starbucks Frappacuino bottle and fill it with flowers--half Prima flowers and half handmade flowers. This is the bottle I decorated and sent to my swap pal. The handmade flowers were made with the Cricut, cardstock, various patterned paper, Stickles and various brads! I even embossed some of them with ink. I am going to be making some more shortly, so I will share those with you! Apparently, I forgot to take a pic of the actual flowers I made before they went in the bottle! LOL :)

If you have any questions on this project, just let me know! I will start posting my instructions with my projects as I go! Time to create!

Hey girls! I have had a long week! I have had several sinus headaches that have just made me feel funky. So, I have been in a craft funk all week! Today is the first day I have felt pretty normal and so I have been very busy! I have been cleaning and doing a little crafting and I'm getting ready to settle in to do more crafting tonight! I will be back shortly with another post and then I hope to be here every day with a little inspiration for you all! TTFN!
