Hi Everyone!
True :D here.
For today's Tuesday Tutorial, I'm going to treat you with something a little different.
You get to be the first to get a peek at the new Fall Cupcake Wrappers that I created for Clear Dollar Stamps!
They are available for instant download starting today for just $3.00!
I'll show you just how quick, easy, and fun they are to create.
First you need to arrange them in MS Word or whatever photo or drawing program you use.
Two fit nicely on a page and you have room for 4 toppers. (I like using 2 for each so there is a front and back to the toppers).
After you print them off, you need to cut them out. I have used scalloped scissors to cut the tops of some of the cups for a little added detail. I hand cut my toppers but you could use a punch or die if you would like.
They are pretty without embellishing but I think I have an embellishing OCD so I just had to add some Ranger Ink Stickles and Liquid Pearls to mine. Make sure you give them plenty of drying time before you assemble! ;)
To make the toppers, just run some ATG tape or other adhesive along the backs of the toppers, then sandwich a toothpick between them.
To create the cup, run some tape along the top side of one of the short edges of the cup curve.
Bring the other end around and adhere. If you don't have an ATG, you can also put them together with plain ol' Scotch tape.
Tips:
#1 - I used the paper lined foil cupcake cups that you can buy in most grocery or discount stores. This will keep oils from the cupcake from seeping through your wrappers.
#2. - You can make your cups lose so the cupcakes sit down in them or tighten them up a bit so the cupcakes set up higher in the cups as I did.
#3. - You might find easier to decorate the cupcakes after you put them in the cup. That is unless you really like licking frosting from your fingers! :)
Here is a close-up of my yummy creations. ;)

What a fun tutorial True, I loved that you used the scissors, I have so many of those that never get used.
