Trendy Twine Guest Designer: Halloween Cupcakes

* I have a giveaway for 25 cotton muslin bags ending tonight!
Comment here to win!

Hello all -
 Trendy Twine friends, SVG Cuts friends, Unity Stamp Company FWF friends...
I'm guest blogging for Trendy Twine blog today
and I'm super excited!
(and for my project today - I used products from all three of these companies,
so I'm spreading my love everywhere today!)

I love twine, especially Trendy Twine
They come out with the coolest color blends that NO OTHER companies make! 
It's so fun to be able to match your projects exactly with their perfect color combo!

Anyway, for my project - since they are featuring Orange Licorice twine this month 
AND running a Treats Packaging challenge
I couldn't resist but to make some Halloween cupcakes.

No, I didn't go into my kitchen and make them... 
I'm not a good baker, 
and would rather keep those baking pictures to myself. :)

 I made them with paper using the most adorable 3D cupcake file from SVG Cuts, 
and decided to put a little 'twist' to it.
(Oooh, you know how I love twists...
just can't seem to make something the way it was supposed to be made!)

I sized down the cupcakes (8.00" wide) so that the bottom fits perfectly with the cupcake liners.
Kinda cuts down my work, too -
don't have to 'decorate' the bottom!

I covered them with BURLAP.
(oooh, yes, I LOVE burlap, and it's hard to NOT use them in my projects these days...)
This file is actually a box...
so it has a top (cupcake) and a bottom (liner).
I covered the top with two layers of burlap
(one layer would show through the bottom paper)
and wrapped it around and glued to the inside using hot glue gun.

Since it looks ugly on the inside,
I just simply glued the cupcake lid onto the bottom.
and used twine to make sprinkles and swirls... 
and of course, I had to add some orange metallic sprinkles and eyeball sprinkle ones, too... 
after all, it's Halloween!

Then, I made a custom box from this file (of course, from SVG Cuts!) to package these yummy treats!

With the box, I wanted to keep the look simple,
 so other than using Canvas Corp paper for the top of the box, 
I used background stamps (Worn Grid, and Distressed Dots) from Unity Stamp Company 
to 'decorate' the box.  

I also used Fright Night stamps to add odd bats here and there, 
and for the PERFECT label that I used for the top of the box.

For the measurement that I used for the box - 
Tamara (Happy Life, Crafty Wife) had already cut down the work for me, 
all you need to do it to go here.

See how cute it is to cut little pieces of twine to make it into a sprinkle?

And here... it's just glued down swirled twine, but looks so yummy!
(well, not so much when there's an icky spider on top!)

This one actually looks edible... 
I'd try this one.

... and this! 
Kinda tacky, but hey - 
it's fun, and it's Halloween!
Anything goes!



Oh, just wanted share this...

There's a SALE going on over at Unity!!!

I hope that you LOVED my project as much as my daughter did!
(It's currently sitting inside her toy kitchen oven...
baking...
and in few minutes,
she's gonna call me for a Halloween tea party!)



So, gotta go!
Wishing you a beautiful day!


( I decided to change my blog format to middle spacing...
do you like this better?
Is it easier to read for you?)

  10. Thienly, I am so thankful to have found you and your creative talents! These are the most spectacular cupcakes ever! I think they are all cute enough to eat! LOL. Not sure I could chew through the burlap, though. I do love your extra "twists" in your creations. Fabulous job on the cute box, too. Great idea to add the cute little bats. I do love center spacing on a blog...it's easier for me to follow along...but that's just me!
    Happy FWF Friday!
