Handmade With Love - Day 1

Supplies needed:
Small Scrapbook Tags
Alphabet Stamps
Stamp Pad
Wax Paper
and your favorite frosted cupcakes!



1. Gather your small scrapbook tags (we used our Sweet Tweet Circle Tags) and make a list of the names for the people who will be eating the cupcakes. Start stamping each persons name on a tag. 2. Once you have all the names stamped on the tags and they have dried, you'll want to line the back of each tag with wax paper. If you don't, the grease in the cupcake icing will soak through.3. Cut circles from the wax paper that will fit on the back of your tags.4. Place a small drop of glue on the back of each tag and glue the wax paper to the tag.
5. Frost all your cupcakes - I used a piping bag and a large tip but you don't have to.
6. Once you have all your cupcakes frosted, place your personalized tags on each cupcake! You can add sprinkles, too, if you prefer! These cupcakes would work great for Valentine's parties or in the office or at school!
Other things you could top cupcakes with are chipboard letters or super big buttons! But, remember, any cupcake toppers that are paper or chipboard need to be lined with wax paper - if you don't the grease will soak through! As you can see in the photo above, I didn't line "Jack's" cupcake and the grease went through the paper in no time! Poor Jack!
If you don't want to stamp names, you could use tags that have no room for a name, like our Doodled Heart Tags!

Now it's time for a giveaway! One person will win this awesome set of goodies that includes everything you need to make these on your own, even some fancy Martha Stewart cupcake liners and three packs of Elle's Studio tags! Just leave a comment below and you'll be entered to win! Anonymous comments have now been enabled, but you must leave a link to your blog and your name in the comment! The winner from each giveaway will be drawn on next Saturday, January 24th!
