PAPER CUP EXPLOSION

A few weeks ago, I went positively crazy for the cutest little papercrafting projects you've ever seen!


After presenting a handcrafted paper cup with paper doily to me, my friend, Marge, went about teaching me the ins and outs of creating these precious treasures myself. 


Marge so generously shared her notes, her changes, her supplies, 
and the link to the video on making a fleet of cups.


I have to admit that, in the next few days, I went absolutely bonkers in making them. 
Then, adding matching doilies created with my Big Shot really upped the ante.


I just couldn't stop. I tell you -- I COULD NOT STOP!


Using Stampin' Up!'s Envelope Punch Board makes these a cinch to make. 
And don't the insides looking crazy wonderful!?!


I even crafted a quilted version for a friend who is an avid quilter. 
I filled the cup with treats for her.


See? They even look great for a cup o' Christmas cheer!


I hope you've enjoyed my bit of indulgence in creating something so darned cute!

Thanks, Marge, from the bottom of my cup, er, heart, for sharing and giving me so much pleasure!

Wait! After writing this post and revisiting all my little paper cups, I think I just HAVE to run downstairs and make another one (or two) . . . 

Cups
Smiles.

P.S. Some of you have asked me for the instructions on making these little darlings. This is a link to the video. Have fun!
