Cupcake Birthday

Tegan decided she’d like to have a cupcake themed birthday party. I don’t know if it was because I gently and subtly guided her in that direction or if it is what she really wanted. It was her…I remember now. She wanted that silly cupcake making toy (which got only 1 out of 5 stars on Amazon.) Still, the cupcake is very “in” right now, so yeah!

Here are the treat bags I made to go inside her goodie bags.  

This is made out of one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I went out and got myself a Scor-Pal. I LOVE it! There are great ideas in the projects section on their website. This is called the One Sheet Box. These are quick to make and are very sturdy little boxes. I put little bags of Jelly Belly beans in them. I think they’ll be a great party favor. I used velcro to close them so these eight-year-old girls could open and shut them on their own.

I almost gave a way the Sizzix die I used to make the cupcakes. Now I’m glad I still have it! Since cupcakes are so trendy, this die will get a lot of use in the next few months!

PS. I LOVE the sparkly pink paper that I found to make the cupcake top. It was a little pricey, but you could make a ton of cupcakes from one sheet!
