I've got sweets on the brain tonight. I've been paper crafting with sweets and we just finished a birthday party with lots of sweets (of course!). The party was so fun...we planned a little secret mission to find the "stolen" presents and it was so fun. I even had a clue that led them to my Cricut where I had a message typed up on the screen. ha! The boys were tickled.
But, in honor of all of the sweets, here are a few paper crafted goodies. This first is a wrap for a juice box. A great alternative for a kid's birthday card. My kids would love this. :-)
And next is a sweet cupcake tag...cut using my favorite image from the Doodlecharms cart...that cute little cupcake. I used my embossing method from the tutorial a few posts ago to give a little dimension to both of these projects. The papers from both of these are from the DCWV Sweets collection. So many cute things in that set. The cupcake tag also uses one of my favorite Papertrey Ink stamp sets....the Holiday Treats set which was one of last year's holiday releases. :-)
Well, I better be off.. we have an extra little visitor tonight, so I've got two giggling boys that need to get to bed. 'night!
Cute cute cute, love this little project!!! You are so inspiring:)!

What wonderful creativity! The juice box cover is darling. I was wondering if you might share what you used to emboss the shape behind the cupcake on the cupcake tag and also the the die you used to cut out and emboss the "fresh baked" element?
Thank you so much,
Judith
