Since I'm evacuated from my studio, I thought it would be fun to share some of the projects I made during my time as a member of the Dirty Dozen at SplitcoastStampers.
I saw these cute little tiny Shower Puffs in the Target $1 Spot, and I thought they would make fun slumber party favors.
I stamped Essentials by Ellen Mondo Magnolia multiple times in black ink on a piece of bright pink cardstock to create my own designer paper (because this color combination of pink & green reminds me of the preppy attire I wore when I would have been of slumber party age … yes, dating myself a bit).
I turned over the paper and traced a cupcake holder template (I measured the width I wanted and made a c-like shape; there is no bottom). I taped together the cupcake holder (overlapping the ends quite a bit to add strength) and then lined it with three Doodlebug Doilies that I folded over the sides.
I wrapped the string around the bottom of the Shower Puff to make it sort of look like a cone and then placed the puff into the cupcake holder (continuing to tuck in pieces until I thought it resembled a cupcake). I finished with a wooden banner flag on the top (that I inked pink).
I made a fun gift tag to go with the Shower Puff Cupcake using Sizzix Framelits tickets. I added one of my favorite EBE die cuts with pink ribbon & sequins.
What a cute idea! Would also make a nice bridal shower favor. Great way to make your own patterned paper with the magnolia stamp.
