There are a lot of great embellishments and stickers to buy these days. I’ve realized through the years though, that the best embellishments I buy I have a harder time using – once I use it, I won’t get to use it again. That is why I like buying punches and other gadgets that let me make multiples of anything I decide to make… I can almost always make more. I have a drawer full of colorful scrap pattern papers that come in extra handy for my punches. Several months ago I decided to see if I could put together a cupcake design with the materials I had on had. Here is what I came up with.
I began with my paper crimper (which is actually a toothpaste crimper that I use on paper =). I knew this would help simulate the cupcake liner. I cut it into an angled rectangle (trapezoid) to fit the size of the cupcake top which I made from a scallop circle punch.
