Cupcake Card and Pillow Box

Hi there, today I am sharing a gift combo I made for a young lady at work last week.  

As some of you may know, another one of my crafty addictions is soap-making...  So I whipped up a soap loaf (hope to do a blog post on that some time) and needed a small bag/box that would hold a single slice of soap.  As I was looking through the tons of great boxes in the SVGCuts library, I came across the pillow box in the Christmas Bags and Boxes SVG Kit and the dimensions were perfect for my soap bar.

So I pulled out some playful birthday paper from my stash (sorry, I don't know the brand as I've had it forever) and cut out my pillow box.  Here it is... super sweet and fun for a young lady.

Onto the card... which was totally inspired by the cupcakes on the paper.  I went straight to the Happy Birthday to You SVG Kit as I've wanted to make the cupcake lever card for ages.  I'm so glad I finally did - it's such a sweet card and so easy to assemble.  

As the paper I used for this project is quite bold and busy, I decided not to do the flower on the card but rather to keep the embellishments to a minimum.  The cupcake is so cute by itself so I thought just a little embossing for texture would be enough to finish it off. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Shower Cupcakes

So many baby showers lately... I made this display for a lady at work a little while ago and it was so much fun putting it all together!

My friend who makes the most amazing cakes taught me how to decorate these adorable baby cupcakes.  I am so impressed with how they turned out - especially as it was my first go at decorating with fondant.  I just love the little screaming babies - too cute! 

  

I used a bunch of different files from SVGCuts and paper from the CWV Baby boy stack for this project.  The cupcake wrappers are from the Summer Street Carnival kit and the banner and rosettes are from the Made in the USA kit.      

The "Baby" title on top of the cupcake tier is from the Smooth and Swirly Word Art collection - one of my favourites...

I combined the door hanger file and the Birthday bag file from the B is for Birthday kit to make the Baby door hanger before adding a couple of buttons, some Kaisercraft ribbon and flowers from my stash.

Here is a close up of the baby clothes.  So cute - and this file is FREE!  Yes, head on over to the SVGCuts page and click on their free designs section to find the Nora's Romper file.  They are too kind over there with all their amazing free files!
