Pretty to look at, but not so yummy to eat. Cupcakes made with paper crafting supplies! They're built around a styrofoam ball and chipboard base. Add lots and lots of ribbons, flowers, glitter and hot glue, and you've got a darling cupcake! I'm always intrigued by interactive elements, so these ones have a pull-out and an accordian fold-out, but they'd be cute just as a desk-top decoration too.
To see what inspired all this cupcake craziness, check out Linda's amazing artwork.

Those are absolutely amazing! I'd love to have instructions for these! I'm planning on a cupcake themed party when my baby girl turns one, those would be perfect :)

If you do a tutorial on these, I have a need to see it! These cupcakes are sensational! I have a nephew who just got engaged and his fiance is his highschool girlfriend so she has been part of the family for a long time. I would like to make one for her as I am making their wedding invitations and their colors are pink and brown. I want to do a pink and brown cupcake with an accordian mini album inside as an engagement gift... I think they want cupcakes for wedding cakes... we'll see. I am so excited. You are amazing woman!!! Can you help us? hugs kathy
