A Lotta Cupcake Cards!!

Hi friends! Okay, so I'm sure you are real sick and tired of me saying I'm back, only to go MIA, yet again! Well, all I can say is that I have FINALLY gotten myself somewhat  organized, craft-wise and personally...LOL. NO MORE going MIA for long periods of time...at least not w/out warning! Promise.

I was on a bit on product overload (if that's at all possible) and did some rearranging in my craft room.  I really let things get out of control in there and I just couldn't take it anymore! I bought the embellishment center from Michael's and I just LOVE it! They had a great sale on their Jetmax storage (40% off) AND I received a coupon via email for an extra 25% off entire purchase, even sale items! Now, that was a great deal! The retail price is almost $80.00 and I ended up getting it for around $35.00.  I bought some of the plastic jars, too. You will be surprised at how much stuff you can get in those! Also, the ribbon holder holds quite a bit of ribbon.

Now, onto today's project. I have to say I never thought these cupcakes would end! I was at a point where I wanted them out of my life for good, BUT, now that they are finished, I am pleased with the result!  I made 12 of them. Some for the boys to give as Valentines to their teachers and some for friends. They are tiny, but cute enough to eat!! =] 
My pictures really stink lately! I am not sure if it is my camera or the way too advanced for me photo program that came w/ my new pink netbook. I am working on it!

Recipe:
Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge (shape card & layers cut at 3.24" on my Gypsy)
Patterned paper - Little Yellow Bicycle Tonal Polkahearts from Artful Delight's January Kit (I just started their kit-of-the-month this month and I am IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!
Cardstock and ribbon - Papertrey Ink
Imaginesce I-rock tool for bling
Martha Stewart Tourmaline glitter (YUMMY!)
I was just going to add a sentiment inside, but I thought they needed a little something else. I added the little "Sweet" piece after the fact (should of done this BEFORE, because I had to go and pull all of the hearts up to add it, but oh well! =/ )

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far! I am having a nice and relaxing weekend with my boys.  They are still in the honeymoon period with their XBox Kinnect that they got for Christmas, so I will definitely be crafting in between hearing "Mooooooooooooooooooom"! LOL. Gotta love 'em!!!

Hugs,
Kimmy

  1. Yep, the Sweet message really did finish these off perfectly! And, I never would have thought to put the bling there - they look so cute!!! Thanks for the reminder for TEACHER Valentines :) Ugh, I got 1 out of 3 kids' classes done... I love mass producing little cards, but I'm about ready to be done with VDay this year!
