Perfect Setting Die: Cupcake Gifts

Just a few more hours to go and the Perfect Setting die for the Big Shot will be retired!  This makes me sad because it makes the cutest paper cups into which you can set your cupcakes!  It also does much more!!

 

For our recent stamping retreat, we (the planning team) made about fifty-four of these as "pillow gifts" for those who stayed at the hotel on Friday night.  I cut these all out of the current In Colors cardstock, punched out the "lids" from White cardstock and the largest circle punch.  Then Jann, Connie, Leslie and I all worked on them: gathering ribbon, hot gluing, attaching lids, etc., and also helping Jann make the little pins which were placed inside the cupcakes!  We were busy bees!

 Here's the box we were putting the completed cupcake gifts into for distributing to the guests' rooms.  They all looked so pretty together!

The above picture shows how the diecuts from the Perfect Setting Die look.  These can be used for many other projects besides these also!

I ran all the ones for the retreat as well as this one through the Big Shot with a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it even more cuteness!  : )  What fun these cupcake holders  would be to present your delicious cupcakes for a party, luncheon or any celebration and impress your guests!
