Valentine Cupcake

It's soon here and can't resist making anything with hearts! I have my cupcake tutorial available for purchase.

For the heart on top of the cupcake, I used 2 pieces of hearts using Full Heart Punch #119883 (front and back) and 1 piece of the Embosslits Die Scallop Heart of Hearts #117332 to put in between the Full Heart pieces.

Use a toothpick and insert it through the heart and then insert the other end of the toothpick through the top of the cupcake box. To seal it in place, adhere a ribbon on the base of the heart with glue gun. If the toothpick sticks to long inside the box, just cut it with scissors from inside the box.

Notice that I used a piece from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch #122464 and placed the piece on the surface of the cupcake :)

Supplies used:
Cardstock:
- Pink Pirouette
- Chocolate Chip Brown
- Very Vanilla
- Glitter Paper (Red)

Valentine Ripple Heart Box

Hearts, Hearts, Hearts...!!! Do you know I'm a heart person myself. I like things with hearts or anything that look like hearts even. On this share, I used my favorite Embosslits Die, Scalloped Heart of Hearts #117332. Not only does it emboss hearts but it also cuts your scalloped heart to fit your punch heart pieces :) It always makes a big impression on any heart project.


Another favorite highlight is the Simply Scored Scoring Tool #122334!! I hope you get this tool because you can do more with 3d projects with ease and control :)

TO DO THE RIPPLE EFFECT ON THE EDGE OF THE HEART:

Take a 1-1/2" x 12" cardstock (I used the Very Vanilla on this project), then score them at 1/2" interval on one side and 1/2" interval on the flip side starting at 1/4". Then cut the cardstock at 3/4", length-wise, getting 2 pieces. Fold the scores to get ripples.

You will need to cut the cardstock in halves again by hand... if you are not confident about cutting them by freehand... you may use your cutter (but it will be hard since you already scored them). Don't worry about an uneven cut :)

Take your Scalloped Heart and glue one side of the heart with glue gun then position your rippled cardstock to go clockwise around the heart. You may need to do this process half side of the heart at a time since the glue gun dries fast. Remember to position the ripples close to the edge of the heart and position ripples apart from each other. Positioning these ripples around the edge of the heart may need practice, so be patient:) Don't worry, it's not as hard as it looks. Have fun!!!

I applied glue gun onto the tip end of the heart and the valley end of the rippled edge of the heart onto the box.



Here's another box color. It looks good at any color for any occasion or event :)

Happy Thanksgiving to All - A Lollie Tree

Happy Thanksgiving to all you talented and awesome crafters!!! Here's to another appreciation day for all you out there who inspired, created and shared. I'm thankful that I have you here who gives me the reason to keep on expressing my creativity. That alone is precious to me :)

Since the Simply Scored Scoring Tool #122334 came out, this project is just the easiest to do. I made this project last August, only now did I get to post it.. why?... ugh... let me count the reasons..... super di duper BUSY!!!!

Anyway, there are 9 lollies in this tree:(from the bottom)
One 1-3/4";
Two 1-1/2";
Two 1-1/4";
Two 1";
Two 3/4" lollies
then folded in 1/2" intervals.

I used 3 star punch for the tree topper, and glued them as a 3 sided star using silver glimmer paper.

You can use this as decoration to your Holiday dinner table! Have fun making it :)
