Congratulations, Jennifer!! Please email me at cookbookqueenblog(at)gmail(dot)com with your full name and address. Thanks so much to everyone who entered. There’s still time to take advantage of the discounts, just scroll down for the link and code!!
Aren’t these just the cutest?
I know I’ve mentioned before that I love my Silhouette machine.
If you’re not familiar with the Silhouette, it’s a cutting machine that hooks up to your computer. Not only can you purchase images from the Silhouette site, but you can also cut out anything you download from the internet — that includes fonts. The Silhouette software allows you to arrange the images exactly how you want on your paper, and size them to exact measurements.
Most people think that you have to be a scrapbooker or particularly crafty to enjoy such a machine, but I love using mine for baking projects the most.
Because there are hundreds of images available for me to download to my Silhouette library (most for only $.99), it only takes me a minute to find something cute that would make the perfect cupcake topper. Way better than being limited to the cupcake toppers I can find in stores or online!! And even better — I can make exactly how many I need.
Because March starts TOMORROW (already?!), I’ve had Easter on the brain. So I decided to make some cute toppers to inspire you to get yo Easter on!!
I’m loving the vintage look lately, so I decided to go shabby chic with some plaid card stock and vintagey ribbon.
I purchased the bunny images from the Silhouette site — the set was $.99 and I shrunk them down to the perfect size for cupcake toppers.
I distressed the edges of the bunnies with some brown ink. Just run the edges along the ink pad, easy peasy.
I added some self adhesive pearls to their cute little tails (you can find these in the scrapbooking aisle of your craft store), and stuck the bunnies to wooden sticks using some adhesive.
Tie on a bit of ribbon and you’re done!!
If you don’t own a Silhouette yet, things are about to get good — I’m sharing a coupon code for my readers to buy one at a discount!!
Aaaaaaaaaand….I’m giving one away!!
Now through March 8th, go to THIS LINK and use the code CONFESSIONS for any of the discounts above. Take advantage — they are some really great deals!!
And if you’d like to try your hand at winning a Silhouette portrait, just leave a comment on this post letting me know what type of projects you’d use it for the most. Holiday cards? Home decor projects? Cupcake toppers? I’d love to hear some great ideas!!
I’ll be taking entries today through March 3rd at 11:59 pm. The winner will be chosen at random and announced HERE at the top of this post. I will also attempt to contact the winner via email, so check back here and check your emails on the 4th!!
If you don’t win (boo), you’ll still have four days to take advantage of the great discounts!!
I hope you enjoy the cupcake toppers and good luck — I hope you win!!
** I was not paid for this post. I was provided with a Silhouette Cameo for review, but all opinions are my own.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise.

I’d start out on my boys’ rooms and then some baking decor.
I would make all kinds of things for my daughter! Cards, scrapbook pages, decorations!
Definitely decorating!! My first grandchild, a girl, is due on April 28th, and there are so many cute projects I’ve dreamed of making for her, but I cringe each time I think of cutting the pieces out by hand or with a craft knife!
Kristan these are just too cute! I absolutely love them!

I’d like to use it to make my own stencils. So many possibilities–Katy
What wouldn’t I use it for?? I have three kids so I’m constantly scrapbooking, baking etc. But I think it would come most in handy for my kids learning wall.

I would use the Silhouette to personalize my home with vinyl decor. Also would be great to make etched glass for teacher appreciation gifts. We do birthday parties big in my home. A theme is a must. My 10-year-old had Hunger Games and my 3-year-old celebrated with Woodland Fairies. A Silhouette would be put to good use.
I’m a card maker so I would definitely use the Silhouette for that and I think I would try and make some wall art for my craft room.

Home decor projects! My house could really use one of these. Right now the walls are a little bare.
I would use it for home decor projects. I would also use it for craft projects as well.

Applique, cooking – gift wrapping, sewing, cards, journaling!!! love your blog!!
First I would make someone Easter cupcake toppers like you did! Those were sooooo cute!
Thanks for a chance to win.
When I win this wonderful Silhouette, (hopeful thinking) I shall make beautiful embellishments for my students to use on their Mother’s and Father’s day cards. THEN I would use it to make cool popup cards.
I would use the Silhouette for everything and anything.. I have to great kids in scouts and school, plus a great nieces and nephews who need lots of things created for them!!
I would use the Silouhette for all sorts of things! Cupcake toppers, banners, scrapbooking, card making. The possibilities are endless! :)
I am a “nontraditional” learner (polite way of saying I am about 20 years older than the rest of the class), with a project due for school. I would definitely get an “A” if I used a Silhouette.
oh, I would use this to make cards all year round! Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Valentines, Arbor day, etc.
any excuse, right?!
I would probably use it mostly on either cards or cupcakes. I’m soon to be starting my own bakery up, this would be GREAT for cupcake orders!
I’d really like to use it to create some cute home decor. Vinyl wall decorations come to mind :-)
I would use mine to make things for my kids birthday parties, scrapbooking and many things for my classroom!
I would love to make personal tumblers with it! My husband is always leaving his cups everywhere, this way people will not they’re his! sweepmorey at gmail dot com
I would LOVE one of these for making cupcake toppers and dressing up my cakes!
I would use it would home decor and decorations for baked goodies!
I would use it for cards & home dec projects & educational projects for the munchkins.
First up would be some tshirts I need to customize!
I see so many great ideas to use the Silhouette! I would love to win one so I could make labels for my pantry and kids toy baskets!
I’d use it to ad some cuteness to my daughter’s lunch box notes
Goodness- so many ideas! I’d love to finally make a banner for any number of hoilidays . Scads of things for birthdays. Cupcake toppers of course.
I’m not very crafty but I love the cupcake topper ideas. Also I love seeing how people dress up their kids lunches with cute little decorative toothpicks. So I’d probably attempt that as well since my son is a super picky eater and he might be more tempted to eat something if it looks cute!
I’m not the craftiest, but I do love to bake ….and am sitting here imagining all the themed cupcakes I could make with the help of this device!
I am in my last semester of college studying elementary education! I know this would come in handy next year in the classroom!! I also love to bake and get my craft on, so I am positive I could find many uses for this nifty machine!!
I’d love to use this to create birthday and Christmas catds!
I try so hard to be crafty without putting us in the poor house and things don’t always turn out so well. We’re finishing our basement and I would love to be able to make my own decorations for it instead of something store bought that a lot of people have in their homes. Plus it’ll be great when the kids get into school and have to do projects.
What a great idea for cupcake toppers! I’d absolutely use it for that & gift cards.
I’m making cupcakes for my neice’s wedding and the silhouette would help big time.
Your cupcake idea was cute and anyone would think they were. I would love to win a silhouette. I don’t have one or a web site but Home decorating or all holiday cards I do make by hand and a silhouette would be nice to take them to the next level.
Cards, cake toppers, and other little projects for school (I teach preschoolers).
Your bunny cupcake toppers are adorable.
I probably would use the machine most in my card making to start off with and then move onto bigger and better items like decorations, etc. for our home.
Thank U 4 this oppoirtunity.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Adorable bunnies, love the plaid!! I would use it for cupcake toppers for sure! Also for cardmaking. Love how inexpensively you can download items!
I would use it to make gift bag sets, I like to decorate plain gift bags, gift tags and cards that all go together…
I am in sales and would love o own one of these to customize “goodies” I take to my clients! What a great machine! My clients love me to drop in already but I could really impress them with customized labels, thank you cards, logos on cupcakes, etc! Pick me! Pick me!
Just found out that I am going to be a Gramma. I would love to win one to amp up the cuteness for my future grandchild. Gotta pass down the Craftiness!
i would love to use this for baking!
I would use this for Everything!!! Scrapbooking, baking, party supplies, kids crafts…. I know the possibilities are endless.

Wow! I would use this for cupcake toppers, tags on goodie bags and homemade gifts to give away….so much! Thanks for the chance – Hoppy Easter :)

Cupcakes are so cute. I would love to win. I would use for card making and scrapbooking. Thanks for chance to win.

Those bunnies are just adorable!

I would use the Silhouette to make cards and scrapbooking. Thank you for the chance to win.
omg! those area ADORABLE! i’d love to say i’d make similarly awesome treats if i won a silhouette, but really, i tend to make cards and little gifts and specialize more in the EATING of cupcakes; i’d still *LOVE* to win anyway, lol!!! :) :) :)
I think I would use it for everything. Home decor, kids parties, crafts.
I would use it to make holiday treats, party decorations, and everything else that I can think of!
I would use it to make some cute cupcake toppers for my daughter!
Thanks for the chance to win. If I were to win, I would use my Silhouette to attempt some wall decor first, then it would get lots of use for papercrafting :)
I am a card-maker, so definitely holiday cards.
My 7 year old daughter and I could make cool projects together and her birthday is coming up so I could really make her a special personalized card.
I would use it for home decor and labels of all kinds!
I’ve been wanting a silhouette for a while now! Mostly for labeling/organizing stuff around the house, but I’m sure I’d find some cute, baking related uses too! Your shabby bunnies are adorable!
I would use a new Silhouette for all things crafty!!
You are SO creative!
If I won, I’d use it for parties…and cards…and art! There are so many possibilities! :D
I love doing crafts and have tons of various shape paper cutters. The Silhouette would be a great alternative, so it doesn’t take up so much space. I use them for everything! I love planning events for friends and family, like birthdays, baby showers, and bridal showers. These paper cutters save time in doing party favors and personalized thank you cards! I’ve also used them for home decor, adding them to plants and flower arrangements.
I’d love to be able to make party invites. The ones in stores are expensive and boring.
These are BEAUTIFUL! I would use it for greeting cards :)
I would make everything possible!!!
I love to decorate my chandiliers for the holidays…I buy Martha Stewart cut-outs….But like you said i would love to make my own choice about color and design.
I would use it for a ton of things but it would probably get used the most for home decoration projects.
Oh, I would use it for everything…lots of paper arts, stencils, etc.
Aloha!
Thanks for the daily emails filled with humor and yummy goodness! I would most likely start off using it to do cute gifty projects for my kids classmates and teachers. Once I got the hang of it, I can imagine I would be putting a lot of cut tags on the baked goods that I give away to others. Scary…maybe winning might be not so good…..No – it’s ALL GOOD.
Mahalo,
April

I want one!!!!! I would use it for srcapbooking & home decor.
I would use mine mostly for card making :-)!
I love using unique labels to seal envelopes, especially ones that coordinate with the card inside! It would be so cute to use the silhouette machine to create bunnies to seal Easter cards or shamrocks to seal St. Patty’s notes.
I would love to use the Silhouette machine to make invitations. I am the lucky chosen one in my family that gets asked to make cute, adorable invitations for birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers and just because we like to throw a party. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
I would make all kinds of great things into an album of my upcoming May 18th wedding!!!! Also to add personal touches to the thank you notes!

Well I came across your Chocolate Cherry Push-pops on the right day! I just got done commenting on those as I was so in love with them that I came to your homepage to stalk your other creations when ::GASP:: a giveaway of a beloved silhouette was right before my eyes. Baking+Crafting rolled into one? Your page is officially bookmarked. I am obsessed with fonts and also .. CUPCAKE TOPPERS! I have found myself crying (whining) at the computer when I come across tons of sites that give away adorable cupcake topper templates and I have no way of creating them!
