Cupcake Inkadoo Stamps

Messing around with glitter, Bic Mark Its, and embossing powder results in:

White gel pen-stitching

Inkadoo Cupcake stamp

Martha Stewart glitter

Best Occasions glitter paper-Walmart

Trim-Hobby Lobby

Lighter, ends of trim

Red and Pink-Paper Studio

Stazon ink& A dollar tree child's set stamp "sentiment"

White embossing powder

Heat gun

Embossing stamp pad

 Zots

Pop Dots

Mixed a little glitter in with the powder Stamped the embossing ink on and added the embossing powder mix

for added texture, went over some with a pink Bic Mark it

I used Zots on the middle of the cupcake to adhear to the trim and pop dots on the top and bottom, so It would lay flat.

Simple look, would be really sweet on a tag!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I will get a lot crafted this weekend!

P.S.  I have found a way to make real cupcake liners, not wrappers, but liners.  Not for diecuts, but real cupcakes. I will be trying the technique this weekend so stay tuned!
