Cutest Cake Toppers


I will be making my own cute little bird cake toppers inside a nest. The birds will be made out of paperclay which is a type of clay that doesn't need to be fired. Here is an example of what i am shooting for from RedLightStudio, a wonderfully talented Etsy seller! The set shown is only $60!


Gocco Glory!


My wonderful husband to be got me a Gocco printer for Christmas! Now i need to narrow down designs for save the dates and invites and maybe monogrammed napkins and bridesmaids gifts!! For those of you who haven't researched Gocco printers before it is a way to make hundreds of invitations or napkins or business cards or just about anything you can imagine in less than an hour. You use a "one use flash bulb" to burn the image onto a screen and then slather the screen with gocco ink and press the image onto you paper. Here is a tutorial because the instructions come in Japanese. Mine was about $265 but you can find them cheaper if they are used or the PG5 version would work just fine.
Here are some designs i've collected so far....I love the peacock one! A lime green peacock with black lettering!
