Cake/ Cupcake toppers
I have a dear friend that asked me to do the decorations for her son’s 6th birthday party, using the Marvel Super Hero Comic theme. Since I have two girls I could not wait to get my hands on a “total boy” birthday project.
I made cake/cupcake toppers, a 16 foot banner, and hanging “pom-poms”.
For the base of the banner, my friend and I snagged some free promotional comic books from Williams Sonoma. It was a bit tricky cutting the banners out on the comic book paper, but after a few run throughs, I manged to find the sweet spot of my bug (speed slow, low pressure, and light blade). I supported the comic paper with a heavy-duty card stock cut at the exact demention.
I did most of the work in Design Studio and used Glossy accents on the “words and number”
This project had a lot of “devil” “vilians” in the details, but I think it paid off in the end.
Pom-Poms
