How to Assemble Cupcake Toppers

       1. In order to cut the cupcake toppers neatly, you need to use a 2.25" Scallop, 2.25" Circle, or large flourish square punch. You can get these at your local craft stores.

If you would like a recommendation on what brand to get, here are the ones I like and personally use:
EK Success Circle Punch,
EK Success Scallop Punch,
EK Success Flourish Punch

       2. Flip the punch over so you can see the area that will be cut. Line up the punch in the right spot where there will be an even border all around. Now punch out your circle.

3. Turn the cupcake topper over and place a 4-Inch Lollipop Stick Lollipop in the center as shown in the picture below. Now tape in place.

If your party table is going to be against a wall, you are all done! However, if the cupcakes will be sitting in a spot where people can see them from both sides, you can punch out another cupcake topper and tape it on the opposite side.

So easy, right? You just have to get a good punch and you are all set.

Free Easter Printable Tags

Don't you love Easter?  It's such a cute holiday and I always love the fact that picnic weather is right around the corner.

Today I wanted to share some free printable Easter tags I created from the Easter collection I am putting together. 

The first tags come in yellow and purple colors and you can punch them out with the 2.25 inch scallop punch or circle punch.  You can get the punches from your local craft store if you don't already have one.  If you just want to use your cutting board, print out the second tags instead.

Beautiful Easter Party

I absolutely LOVE the look of this party.  The daisies, the umbrellas, the colors- it's so pretty and delicate.  The yellow and green palette just warms you up as it reflects on the fact that Spring is right around the corner.

Nice touches, like the softly colored Easter eggs in a "nest" and the Easter egg lollipops in a basket with grass and a cute ribbon really set it off. 

The Williams-Sonoma team did a great job!  You can get the lollipop recipe and see a few other tips on creating a pretty Easter party on their blog, just click here.
