Celebrate Today!

01 June 2012 | By admin in Altered Art, Cupcakes, Uncategorized

Hi everyone! Erin here again.

I believe everyday should be celebrated! Here’s a simple framed piece of wall decor that I made to go along with that theme.

I used some pretty background papers and sewed them together with my sewing machine. Then I cut out the “celebrate today” text twice using my Silhouette Cameo…once on brown cardstock and once on black cardstock. When I glued to two layers together I let the black peek out a tiny bit behind the brown to give it a bit of a shadow.

And then I was ready to make the cupcake using the Basically Bare Stack-A-Bellies Cupcakes. I love that the pack had piece that are felt, chipboard, and cardboard…I used the felt frosting, the cardboard cake, and the chipboard wrapper. They looked so cute all stacked up that I really didn’t have to do too much to them. I just “wallpapered” the chipboard wrapper and added a few embellishments.

I love that they are so dimensional when stacked up!! It looks so cool, especially when I added the glass back into the frame. (I removed the glass from the frame to take photos with out a glare.)
