Hey Sugar! Hee hee! What's happening? Spring is in FULL bloom here in Northern California and I have the itchy eyes to prove it! I'm not complaining, though, because it's been so gorgeous outside the past few days. Last weekend I organized a little stamping shindig at my local stamp store. Well, I never show up empty handed to see my crafty friends – so on Saturday I decided to make some lemon cupcakes to bring. Well…I also never make anything without decorating it! LOL.
I knew right away I had to decorate my cupcakes with some super cute stamps from Paper Smooches! I picked (get it) this adorable lemon from one set and the sentiment from another set (supply list at the bottom)! I use cake pop sticks when I make my little cupcake decorations. I like using those because they're white and they're sturdy. They are also inexpensive and available at Michael's!
Seriously…how can you NOT smile when you see this stamp? It's fruitastic! I'm smiling again just writing this right now.
Here are my little cuppies just out of the oven in all their goldeny goodness. Man, I love me a cupcake. Don't you?
Stamping and cutting….
And coloring….
And coloring some more…
Here are my Copic color choices for this project…
EEEEEP! A sweet lemon with some red lips! I cut the white circle out of a punch and then mounted my lemon and leaves with some foam tape. I used yellow circles for the back side of the image and then glued them together around the sticks.
Oh…and then you know I had to add some sparkly stickles!
I used my fabulous cupcake wrapper die from Taylored Expressions to wrap the bottoms of some of the cupcakes. SO easy…cut and wrap! No gluing needed.
Here is the die and some of the cuts… Perfect, right? Love this die!
And I leave you with a shot from our front yard right now! The tulips are blossoming and they make me so happy with their cheery faces each morning. They don't last nearly long enough and I'm enjoying them while I can. Have a sunny day my friends!
