Embossed Valentine DIY Cupcake Toppers

Cake & Candy· Paper Crafts· Valentine's Day

I’m a huge fan of a few different things in my life (Valentine’s Day, paper crafting, and sweet treats – just to name a few), so when I get the chance to combine those three loves in to one awesome project that was actually super simple to put together, I couldn’t be happier. These DIY cupcake toppers pack a pretty visual punch without the hassle of a super intense craft project so anyone can re-create these babies!

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own embossed DIY cupcake toppers:ClickLinks1

  • Cricut Explore or Alphabet Stickers
  • Sizzix Texture Embossing Machine
  • Mini Heart Embossing Folder
  • Red and White Cardstock
  • 2 inch Circle Punch
  • Tombow Tape Runner
  • Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue
  • Candy Sticks

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-4Step One. To create the XO letters for the cupcake topper, you can choose from two different options: cut them with a Cricut or use alphabet stickers. I chose to use my Cricut so I could make a higher quantity of cupcake toppers and simply used a cursive font in Design Space. If you use the alphabet stickers, you’ll likely have enough of the X’s and O’s to create three to four cupcake toppers.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Step Two. Use the 2 inch circle punch to cut as many circles from the red card stock as you need cupcake toppers.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-8Step Three. Place two circles at a time inside the mini heart embossing folder and send it through the embossing machine.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-16Step Four. Apply the adhesive to the back of each the letters and press the letters firmly to the embossed circles.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-17Step Five. Apply a thin line of tacky glue to the top inch of the candy stick.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-18Press the stick to the back of the embossed circles and press firmly.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-69Allow the tacky glue to dry completely before placing the toppers in the cupcakes.

diy-cupcake-toppers-valentine-consumer-crafts-unleashed-10These embossed Valentine DIY cupcake toppers are perfect for so many occasions: class parties, Valentine gifts, special treats for a special someone, just to name a few!
