Chris is also the creator of me, Tutu and all my Make Shoppe side kicks. Yes…even Goofy Maple who hasn’t managed to make a mess in months now. But just wait…it’s coming…

Fall Inspired Cake and Dessert Toppers

Aug 20, 2012

Hey All!

So I was browsing around online trying to find get inspired to do some more crafts. I’ve made plenty of cards, scrapbooks and other crafty things but just needed something different this time to fill my curiosity.

Taking on elaborate and difficult projects are really fun but alot of the time to have to own all the equipment. That get’s pricey! I came across some pictures of crafty dessert and cake topper decor and thought i’d be nice to make some of my own. And now with Fall right around the corner I thought I should get a head start.
These Fall Inspired Dessert Toppers were very easy and more importantly…I had all the stuff. The designs and possibilities are endless so I highly encourage everyone to try this. Super fun!

Here are some helpful items you’ll need:

Circular Craft Punch
Fall Tree Craft Punch
Wilton Cookie or Lollipop Sticks
Double-Sided Craft Tape
An Assortment of Fall colored card stock
Optional Ribbon

The assembly is pretty self explanatory but I’d love to hear from you if you have any comments or questions! Oh! And don’t forget you can find me (and these) on Etsy

Oh deer…is it too early to post about Christmas???

Aug 1, 2012

Hey Friends,

Wow…I can’t believe I’m already seeing items and promotions for the holidays. That’s nuts, right? I mean, when is it exactly appropriate to start the marketing and advertising for the seasons to come? Isn’t there a Fall between Summer and Winter?
I’ve also received a few orders for some holiday cards this early on! My customers usually just leave it up to me to design their cards and today…well did just that! Today’s mood was torn between still trying to enjoy summer but also realizing that the holidays are among us. So, feeling quite goofy, I designed this “oh deer,” card as a reflection of my mood. A bit too rebellious you think?

Who votes rebellious?

Who votes cute and playful?

Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!

From me to you…

Tutu
