Dear Lord, I will have a sixteen year old in five months. It was with these thoughts that I threw a couple of sheets of white cardstock through the silly and cut all three layers of Regina's Three Tier Cake Box from THE CUTTING CAFE.
But wait you say, there are FOUR layers to this cake. Well, this cake is actually a series of boxes and I opted to hot glue the middle box together to make my cake even higher. I also wanted to use a lot of glittery frosting and washi tape so it worked out well. I cut strips of paper to to decorate the sides.
The boxes just slide together as one is slightly bigger than the other. You can see how I cheated in this photo. I use little staples to hold the paper together. Totally dig those itty bitty little staples! I actually start with a quick staple to hold the bottom circle to the piece that wraps around to make sure things stay where I want them to.
I cut those white flowers from the Easter Overlays and Shaker Card Templates and Cutting Files. I did double them up and add centers that were gifted to me from fellow DT Lisa from Life of a BZ Scrapper. I bet you she will know the name of this paper I used too...It's from Close to My Heart. ;-)
A quick shout out to the Corning ReStore for that epic little glass dish that works so perfectly as my cake stand! Whooohoooo for upcycling!
Happy almost Friday!
So this is quite Delish!! Ooh yes! I remember those pretty little white embellies from funkie junkie and why the paper is blossom my dear!! :). It really could have gone either way. Some days I'm better than others. Like days when I'm working on the wrong project. Lol. So. Back to cake! I LOVE yours! Love what you did with the top and love how you made it taller. THIS is Rockstar! (I felt like I should use it at least once in reference to one of your creations so you really understand the level ones creation must be in order to be given that name). I feel I'm a little wordy tonight so I'll just say one more time. AWE-SOME!
