These are the toppers I created for a friend's birthday party.
I have an obsession with distressing. I used chocolate ink to distress the ends of the flower and backing. Then I attached the stamped flower to the card stock with a piece of foam adhesive so it had some dimension. I attached each to a toothpick and that was it.
I admit it - I cheated and bought cupcakes from Safeway, but hey they make really good cupcakes. Much better then what I could have baked and so much easier to do when you have a toddler in tow.
If you find yourself putting together a party, think about making some cupcake toppers to personalize your bash.
Until next time,
Karri
