DIY Hand Stamped Cupcake Toppers

Happy Thursday! 

We hope you are having a great day!
Yesterday we shared our neat nesting box cupcake display that anyone can do.

If you look a little closer, you'll see the handmade, hand stamped cupcake topper tags that we made.
We wanted something simple because with 120 cupcakes, we feared it could get very busy if we weren't careful.  We combed the internet for inspiration and came across these images...

and we knew that we could make them with ease instead of purchasing them (we love when a little of our DIY action can save money for our brides.)


So how did we get this look?
Easy!

We used our Cricut to cut out 120 tags (but if you don't have a Cricut, don't worry. You can buy similar tags at any office supply store or in the Martha Stewart Wedding line at Michael's.)

Then we grabbed our ink pad and stamps and we got to stamping. 


An hour later we had 60 tags that said "i do" and 60 that had a simple heart. 
Once the ink dried, we attached a thin red bow and a toothpick.
We loved that each one was just a little different because they were hand stamped. 
We think they were the perfect simple touch to our display. 
If you want this look but aren't up for a DIY project, contact us for pricing.  We'd be happy to make them and ship anywhere in the United States. 

Tomorrow, we'll give you the yummy whipped chocolate ganache recipe that we used to fill these cupcakes.
