Cupcake Surprise! SWEET STUFF!!

 
A very happy day to everyone!! I hope your week is going along without a hitch and you are able to accomplish everything on your list of Things To Do!! Gosh, when I have ventured out into the world, it seems that everyone is in a RUSH and I just can't be rushed!!! So I guess I will be hiding out until after the holidays...hahahah
 
I was sitting around looking for something to play with and I remembered some little papier mache cupcake boxes that I have had forever and decided to have a play with some of them. If I remember correctly they are from Michaels or Joanns and cost so very little...less than $1 each, I think. They measure about 3 1/2" (8.5 cm) tall so that will give you an idea of how small they are.  But I needed several small presentation boxes for gift cards and small gifts that I thought this would be something QUICK and EASY and I was right! Here's what these little boxes look like at the beginning...
 
The first thing I did was to cover them with a couple of coats of acrylic paint--I wanted the bottoms to look like chocolate and I wanted to make the toppings in pink. I have only finished the first one but I really do have a couple of ideas for the next two....wink!
 
Then I just started gluing Pink Cottage Roses all over the top of the cupcake and where there were gaps I added some pink acrylic flowers with some sparkly rhinestone centers, I finished the top with a couple of fluffy bows made from Vintage Seam Binding, a couple of tiny Maya Road heart pins, and a Prima teacup pin. Around the upper edge of the chocolate bottom I added some pre-gathered lace with some Pearl Drop Trim. See how quick and easy this was!!!! I will put the little surprises in a wee organza bag for the inside and all finished!! I think these would make the sweetest favors for a ladies' get-together or placed on a tiered cupcake server. What do you think??
 
 
SWEET STUFF!!
 
Martha Stewart Crafts Eyelet Lace Punch
 
Seeing that pre-gathered lace on the cupcake I was reminded that I have an EXTRA Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Set of Eyelet Lace that I would love to send to one of my FOLLOWERS!!!  If I will be shipping outside the US, I will remove all of the packaging so that the shipping will not be so very much. All you have to do is leave a comment here before Friday morning, December 14 at 8 AM EST  to be in for the draw. Good Luck!
 
Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope to see you again very soon!! Until then, slow down and enjoy each of your moments!! Big hugs!!

I love it! It would make a great party favor for a Ladies' luncheon, or a Mother-Daughter banquet, or even for an in-home demonstration (like Tupperware, Scentsy ...etc.). I'm going to have to try to find these now.

Thanks so much for the chance to win the MS punches!

Hugs,
Snoopy :D

Oi Jacque!!!

que bela ideia de presente. Amei!!! Obrigada por compartilhar conosco esses SOCOS (furador) maravilhoso.

Beijos e tenha uma semana abençoada e iluminada

Traci S. said...

That cup cake idea is wonderful! I love the little cottage roses. It looks as if you must have used 100 of them! I think they would be amazing party gifts for people who come to a wedding shower. You could make the cup cake match the wedding colors!

Please include me in your very generous give-away. I love MS items, but only have some teeny pearls and one punch. Thanks so much!

He IS Able!
