Paper Glitter is 3 years old! + NEW mini paper flowers in the shop!

 

 3 years ago the Paper Glitter Etsy Shop was born!

I want to take a moment to thank you all for following this story....for yet ANOTHER year! It has been a blessed 3 years. Who knew so many people had an interest in printing and making cute paper stuff from home!?

I have a few ways that I would like to celebrate the occasion but due to the busy week we all have (teacher appreciation week and mother's day, etc.) I will resume the festivities for next week instead. In the meantime, enjoy this sweet photo I took to celebrate the 3rd anniversary.  These were made using NEW mini-sized paper flowers that I just posted in the shop.http://www.etsy.com/listing/99430784/paper-flowers-rainbow-set-mini-size

Funny thing: The concept behind these cupcakes were supposed to be "flowers in a flower pot". But then something interesting happened.  I found all these great objects around my desk and some printed paper from photo shoots and I went all "indie" on them!  I think I liked this approach better  :)

I will post a photo tutorial of how I made the toppers in the coming days--I have to put out some fires first!  But to give you a hint, the flowers are hot glued to a golf tee (flat top of tee makes it an awesome sturdy plane for the flower) and then I inserted the tee into a plastic straw----to make the stem sterile to insert into a cupcake and for added height and green color.  I don't know what golf tees are made from so just to be safe ;) I bet these would look great inserted inside striped paper straws!

Have a sweet day!
