Simple Cupcake Toppers and NEW Silhouette Double Sided Adhesive

Let’s talk about crafting for a minute.

First off, I love to craft.

However…I do not have a lot of TIME for crafting at the moment.  Obviously.  Babies don’t really like their moms to have hobbies and things — true story.

Anyways.  You might remember last year on Black Friday, when I shared a special Silhouette Coupon Code with you guys.  I had my eye on a Silhouette machine for such a long time, and the people there were nice enough to send me one to try.

I LOVE it.  LOVE LOVE LOVE.  You can do SO much with it!!  Cards, scrapbooking, cute tags for gifts, I even used it for the lettering on Jon David’s Science Fair project board.

So when I got an email about a new Silhouette Double Sided Adhesive, I was really anxious to try it and give it a whirl.  However…I know that i don’t have a ton of time these days.

That’s why these adorable cupcake toppers are perfect.  I whipped them up in no time, with Lucy sitting right next to me in her bassinet.

The kit comes with double sided adhesive sheets, a Silhouette spatula, a brush, glitter and flocking powder, and a card that  you can redeem for several exclusive designs.

Making these toppers was so simple, and I loved the new double sided adhesive.

Just load the double sided adhesive into the Silhouette, and cut out your hearts.  Stick the adhesive hearts to cardstock circles, peel off the back, and brush glitter or flocking powder onto the adhesive.

I love the fuzzy texture of the flocking powder, don’t you?

Gorgeous and simple.

I have a circle punch cutter that I used for the cardstock circles, but you could also use your Silhouette for that part.

Once all your circles are done, stick them to lollipop sticks (you can buy them at hobby stores or HERE) with adhesive and insert them into cupcakes.

This adhesive was much neater than glue, and the possibilities are endless — you can cut out any shape or font you download onto your computer.
