Valentine Cupcake Toppers + giveaway!

Nothing says "I love you" like a cupcake... and nothing says "I really, REALLY love you!" like these cupcake toppers! Aren't they just the cutest? Paige Evans, from our design team, made these and when she sent me the photos I just shrieked with joy!
They are just so cute and I love how big the toppers are, it's like an edible present!
And, I love how each one is different! So much fun :)
I just love it all! Even the Cherry Chip cupcake's have red in them to match the tags! Eek!!!

Paige used her Cuttlebug die cut machine and Nestabilities heart dies by Spellbinders (scalloped and regular) with our mini papers and matching bazzill paper. She cut a scalloped heart, then a regular heart and adhered them together with foam dots for extra dimension. They she added a sentiment to the front of each heart (sentiment from either our journaling spots, circle tags or cut outs). To finish it off, she then added a big ribbon bow for extra cuteness and a toothpick glued to the back so you can stick it into the cupcake!

So much fun and such an amazing presentation! Can you imagine bringing these into school, work or delivering them to someone special?
We've put together this special kit (pictured above), that includes all the Elle's Studio items Paige used to create these, and MORE! This Valentine kit would be perfect for making these toppers, cards and mini albums, too! And, don't forget about the other Valentine items are available in the same line!

Giveaway time! We wanted to do a special giveaway for our readers today because we love you all so much!! We are giving away one Valentine kit here and one on our facebook page - that doubles everyone's chances to win!

How to enter at both places:
1. Leave a comment here telling us your favorite cupcake flavor (if you cannot comment, you can email us your comment)
2. Leave a comment on our Facebook page, on our wall post about this giveaway, telling us your favorite frosting flavor!

And, stay tuned for some extra inspiration, free download, other giveaways and MORE! We are excited to say that we have lots of fun planned for the next two weeks - make sure you check back, soon!! Lots of inspiration for Valentines :) can't wait to share!!
