Hello my sweet bloggy friends! Today I'm posting about two of my favorite things…cupcakes and paper crafting! Woooot! Up above is my FAVORITE Instagram of today's project! (Maybe my most favorite Instagram ever??) A couple of weeks ago I wanted to make cupcakes for one of my co-workers' birthdays and I really was looking for a new way to jazz 'em up! Don't know where the idea came from but I thought – how about some pinwheels! And before you know it, this project was in the works…
MMMMMMMMM….chocolate…..with chocolate!
I used this happy and bright paper pack for my pinwheels (say that three times fast)… Using all these patterns and colors automatically makes the project fun. It doesn't all have to be matchy matchy, it just has to work together. I love it. I used my Pinwheel Die from The Cat's Pajamas to make my cute wheels… Here they are all cut out. Tip: Use double sided paper!!
See how fun that paper is??? These are so simple to assemble with some brads in the centers. To put them on my skewers I used hot glue on the back.
I punched out some layering circles and stamped her name on the centers to make it personal…
Here they are in a row…
One last look at the finished project. I used silver foil cupcake liners because they do not get oily when you cook your cupcakes, and they look purty and festive!
Wanda!
