Pretty Packages

There is just something about a beautifully wrapped package! With shimmer, metallics and fabulous jewel toned colors really be "in" this holiday season we thought these packages were pretty perfect! Rosettes, cupcake liners, throw some sequence detail in and we are pretty much head over heels! Wouldn't you love to receive or give one of these fun, festive packages!?!

DIY Mini Rosette Cupcake Stands

We have been having so much fun filling orders for our rosette lollipops! But, there are always so many left over paper scraps and we just knew there had to be something that we could create out of them! So...we came up with mini rosette cupcake stands!! They are so easy to make, festive and perfect to display your mini cupcakes, bon bons or other mini treats!

Materials:

2 strips of 1" decorative card stock for rosette (we used 12" paper so the strip is 1" in width and 12" in length)

1" width 3" length strip of decorative card stock for stand

glue gun

scissors

1" circle paper punch

Take your 2 strips of 1" card stock and accordion style fold them. Then glue the end of one of the strips to the end of the other strip, then glue the other ends together to form a circle. Fold the circle inward and bring center together to form a rosette, turn the rosette over (to show the bottom of the paper) and glue a punched out circle of paper (use your paper punch) to secure the rosette in place. Turn the rosette over to show the decorative paper and glue another circle on top. Take the paper for your stand and just wrap it around and hot it glue it to secure it closed. Then just put some hot glue around the top of the stand and glue/secure it to your rosette! (Make sure your seam from your stand is in the back).

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you and your family and wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! We hope it is filled with abundant blessings, health, happiness and full bellies! Love, Melissa and Kellie

Nutcracker "Sweet"

We are so excited to introduce our new holiday line, the "Nutcracker Sweet"! Going to see the Nutcracker is one of the most magical things to do over the holidays! I was blessed enough to dance in it for many years. We have been talking about creating these special designs for quite some time now! We present you with Clara and the Nutcracker complete with a cupcake hat, the Sugarplum Fairy and The American Beauty Rose from Waltz of the Flowers!

The Nutcracker, is of course, based on Clara and the gift of a magical Nutcracker doll given to her by her godfather, Drosselmeyer. Clara is smitten with her doll, until it is promptly broken by one of the boys at the party. Drosselmeyer fixes it with a magical handkerchief, but Clara has no idea what is in store for her as she falls asleep with the Nutcracker under the Christmas tree that evening. As her adored Nutcracker doll turns into a prince they set on an unforgettable adventure.

Clara and the prince are drawn into a magical land of sweets, escorted by the Sugarplum Fairy!



During thier journey they are treated to a celebration of dances including "Waltz of the Flowers" featuring the American Beauty Rose! What a magical journey...or was it a dream? As the Nutcracker draws to a close Clara awakes under the Christmas tree with her cherished Nutcracker.






All of these designs will be available in our shop later today!

Pinterest

Ok, so who has not heard of pinterest by now!?! Well, we first heard about it last January when our sweet friends from Whipperberry blogged about it! We were instantly smitten and excited about the possibilities!! A virtual pinboard that can organize all of our ideas and favorite photos....what could be better!?! So we requested an invite and got one in our inbox....but there was one problem...its called obsession! We knew that it would be become a bit of an obsession and we were so busy trying to work on other things for our business. So, we never accepted the invite but of course enjoyed peeking at all of the amazing photos people posted! Finally, we could not hold out any longer and recently accepted our request and are now happily pinning away! So if you would like to take a peek at what we are pinning check us out here!

Here is one of our favorite cakes from our "let them eat cake" board!
