Valentine Theme Week: Day 7

**All items in the Valentine’s Day section are 15% off during theme week**

Hi Friends! Emily here with you today sharing two Fur-ever & Always Valentine Puppy Cupcakes using the Big Valentine Cupcake Dies with the Valentine Bucket Additions Dies.

I love making holiday themed paper cupcakes—all the fun without the calories! When I saw the cute puppy from the Valentine Bucket Additions Dies I knew I had to transform them into a set of Paw-lentine cupcakes.

To get started, I cut all the pieces from white cardstock (which I colored using blending brushes & inks), pink & brown cardstock along with glitter and foil cardstock. Once I had all my pieces cut & colored, I had fun frosting & decorating each of the cupcakes.

For my girl pup, I added a sweet pink bow and made a vanilla cake with cotton candy pink frosting all nestled in a silver wrapper. I decorated the wrapper with pink hearts from the Valentine Bucket Additions Dies.

For my boy pup, I added a heart nose and made a chocolate cupcake with hazelnut frosting all nestled in a rose quartz foil wrapper. I decorated the wrapper with Pink Glitter HUGS from the Valentine Bucket Additions Dies.

To finish the cupcakes, I decorated each of the puppies with hugs & kisses + heart sprinkle die cuts and for extra cuteness I added googly eyes.

The black and white heat embossed sentiments are from the Sentiment Strips: Valentine stamp set which I die cut using the Sentiment Strips Dies.

To finish each of the cards, I added the cupcakes with foam tape to an Eyelet Rectangle panel (for the girl I also used the XOXO Pieced Plate). Then I attached the decorated panels to a pink and pink-striped card base.

So there we are friends, two paw-sitively adorable valentine cupcake cards. Thanks for stopping by and Big Paper Hugs!
