Laurel of Go Against the Grain was so sweet to send me a little package for Valentine's Day. The packaging was so pretty and I loved the addition of the glittered clothespin {I'm a girl that loves glitter}. Inside was another pretty package - a muslin bag with the letters LOVE stamped on it. I just love this idea by the way. With muslin bags {even paper bags} you can easily use rubber stamps and customize the packaging anyway you'd like for any event.

Inside the muslin bag were samples of the Valentine's Day cupcake toppers Laurel has created and sells in her Go Against the Grain etsy shop. 

The pucker up cupcake toppers are just too cute and the cupid's arrow cupcake toppers are just pure brilliance. These toppers are actually in two pieces {one end has the heart-shaped arrow head and the other has the feathered end}. Below shows you a photo from Laurel of the cupid's arrow cupcake toppers in action. {previous 3 photos were taken by myself with my iphone}. Don't you just love these toppers?

Looking for a unique favor? Look no further! These fun and miniature Bell Jars from The Wedding Outlet could not be more adorable. Fill it with a delicious cupcake in your favorite flavor or fill it with something unique and decorative. Consider displaying these on your dessert tables too. Your guests will surely want to take one home. (Stickers sold separately) Each package contains four miniature glass jars.

Happy Monday!!!! And, Happy Valentine's Week!!!! I have some amazing inspiration for you to celebrate the week of love and a GREAT BIG giveaway tomorrow - so let's get started. Today I'm continuing the Wedding Vendor Challenges with a photo shoot for an intimate dinner for 2 from Shafonne of Making Your Event Special and Pretty Pear Bride. This shoot is just perfect as not only is it affordable to re-create, but it's so sweet and fun. There was a black damask wrapped gift with a contrasting pink ribbon at each place setting, one for him and one for her {don't you love the texture on the wrapping paper?}. The centerpiece was a black chalkboard with hot pink hearts that had "I love U" written on it - so cute.

For the dessert table, the black damask wrapping paper was added to the top of the linen and martini glasses with desserts were added to the table. The hot pink words that spelled out "KISS" were a great accent to bring in the hot pink to the black paper. One of my favorite features is the presentation of the cupakes that were displayed in tea cups and adorned with hot pink rhinestones. Pink confetti words spelling, 'Kiss, Love and XOXO were scattered on the table too.

A Handmade Holiday continues today with the spotlight on Ela of KamNCo who creates faux but very realistic cupcakes that can be used for ornaments, decorations, party, and/or wedding favors. The ideas are endless. Ela's cupcakes were also featured in some of the swag bags at the American Music Awards. Along with Ela's pre-designed cupcakes, you can also build your own faux cupcakes by selecting your Liner Choice, Frosting Choice (vanilla, chocolate or strawberry), Syrup Choice and Sprinkle Choice. I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!

And of course, no handmade holiday post is complete without a few holiday specific products. How cute are these snowman and santa cupcakes? They'd be so cute as little hostess gifts or even gifts for teachers.
