Supplies needed:
mermaid stamp (or any design, really!) This one is made by A Muse Artstamps
inkpad
markers
Stickles glitter accent (made by Ranger)
Clear dimensional embellishment such as Glossy Accents (Ranger) or Liquid Glass (Close to My Heart)
cardstock
lollipop sticks
ribbon
hot glue gun
Step 1:
Stamp your image onto a neutral colored cardstock. I used a vanilla/cream color as the base for the mermaid’s skin.
Step 2:
Using markers, color in the mermaid’s hair, eyes, and mouth.
Step 3:
Fill in mermaid bikini and tail with glitter accents. Allow to dry (or be very careful), then apply clear dimensional embellishment over hair. Allow to dry completely. Once dry, it will be clear and hard.
Step 4:
Using fine-tip scissors, cut mermaid from cardstock. Apply a dot of hot glue to the back of the mermaid and glue onto the end of a lollipop stick.
Step 5:
Add ribbon accents. You can either tie a bow and then hot glue the finished bow onto the lollipop stick, or tie the bow around the stick. For me, the first was much easier! Place the toppers into some swirly blue frosting and your cupcakes are ready for the party!!!

They are so cute!!! I prefer cupcakes because they are easier to serve. The kids can just grab them and go- also then there is no… “Oh, just a little piece…” from Meemaw or “How come he got a bigger piece?” from the kids. 🙂

I love both, cupcakes are really messy to eat (or is that just me?) but generally have more icing than a piece of cake. And sometimes the sponge is softer. But sometimes a slice of cake can be more moist. Oh… I don’t know!

And that, Joanna, is why we must have both!!
