This is a super fun collection!!!
I have lots of projects to share...it's gonna be a long post...

Since I moved recently, I decided to buy a cake and cupcakes to celebrate the crazy move with my family...so, I made a cake topper and cupcake picks.

First, the Merry-Go-Round Cake Topper:

I stamped the tent (Big Top Borders & Backgrounds stamp set) on pink cardstock, trim it and colored some details with gel pens.

I stamped the animals (Big Top Collection stamp set) on white cardstock and trimmed it in a way that I could attach the tent and base. I colored the images with Copic markers and gel pens.

I stamped the border (Big Top Art Nouveau stamp set) on patterned paper and used a silver gel pen on the stars.

The Striped Washi Tape came in handy, since I didn't know where my tape was...

Then, I made cupcake picks...

Simply fussy cut the animals from the patterned paper:

I ended up taking pictures of the picks using the cake...my 3 year-old son insisted on carrying the cupcakes in...and of course, he dropped the box (as you can see below)! =)

Now, if you like to stamp and make cards...the first 2 cards are easy to create using the Big Top Collection stamp set, patterned papers and Big Top Adhesive Pearl Stickers...
