Colorful Animal Cake (MANY PICS)

Grab a cup of tea or coffee, and sit back, and join me for another FUN and COLORFUL design from Creative Cuts and More.

First I started with the XL cake slice boxes in fun and colorful ,Bazzill papers. I made the bottom layer and am keeping it separate in case I need to mail to someone.

Next I made a circus tent to adorn the top layer using the Large Cake slices. This two tier cake can be bought in a one layer set- large or X-large or a two tier box set.
These slices can also be purchased singly in large or X-large
I used some fun animal stickers that were 3d. I tried to share a view from many angles.

I used some checkered ribbon I found at HL to match those yummy Bazzill colors of paper. I even found some scrap papers from CTMH to make the banners- I like how the colors were very similar to the Bazzill papers I used for my cake slices.

I hope you enjoyed my newest cake creation- I always enjoy sharing with all of you. Hopefully you will get inspiration to create a cake or even favors of your own.

Beautiful Display Cake Slices

Oh I am so thrilled to share these slices with you today. I THINK they turned out wonderful.

Creative Cuts and More has some of the nicest die cuts I have worked with. These cake slice box Large and Cake Slice box X- large are stacked together.

I used beautiful Bazzill colors that were so cheerful. My good friend Judy gave me this idea and design with the flowers. Judy actually gave me the plastic flowers to use.

Can you see how perfect the folds are and the pattern holds it shape so well.

I won the smaller flowers from Wild Orchid and knew they were perfect with these colors of paper.
These were used as gifts for some special ladies that been great support for me.
So glad I could share these beautiful Cake slices from Creative Cuts and More.

Treasured Memories!

Today I'm sharing something I made for my daughter - a sweet little Tiffany Purse (using a die cut from Creative Cuts and More). Pull up a chair...it's story time!

We spent her spring break in Corolla, NC, and every day we went for a walk to look for shells. Some days it was the whole family, some days she went with her grandparents, and one day it was just the two of us (on the beach, anyway - she and I took several walks out on the sound, to bird watch and see sunsets). She and I went for a sunrise walk one morning, and found a few great shells. She brought an amazing collection home. Before I made this little purse, she and I spent about an hour looking through the shells, talking about where she found them and why she picked them to bring home. I asked her to pick out a few of her small favorites so I could make her a surprise. I colored the image and put the shells inside the purse. I threaded ribbon through the slots in the back, under the purse, and back over the top, looping them around a button I added. It closes just fine without the ribbon - you really don't need to do it the way I did. I just loved the way the white satin ribbon looked with it!

Much to my satisfaction, she was thrilled when I gave this to her! It's been given a place of honor on her nightstand, where she can get out her favorite shells and look at them anytime she wants :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Life's Treasures Sophia (Paper Pretties)

Card Stock: Bazzill Swimming Pool

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Want A Slice of Cake ?

Hello Everyone, Dawn ll here again
I decided to play around with just a couple ideas for favors to use for Baby Showers.
What better place to get my cake slices x- large from then Creative Cuts and More?

Had to share a few different views of this adorable Pink version.

I used some supplies from Hobby Lobby:

pink baby rattle

pink Prima flower

pink bead trim

That yummy white ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and is one of my favorite.

Do you notice that I used a few of my handmade flowers again?

For this blue version I used some more yummy ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I dug through my stash of buttons to use as accents.

So aren't these the cutest ideas to use at a baby shower?

Remember you can find lots of ideas for party favors at Creative Cuts and More.

Is This Spectacular or What? (heavy in pics)

Wedding season is a time when love is in the air- May I share some inspiration with you?
Hi Everyone, Dawn ll here today.
I have to say I think this turned out so Well -hope you like.
Creative Cuts and More has the most spectacular die cuts and the Cake Slice Box Set- Two Tier is one of my favorite to use.
I love the dies from Terry because they are perfectly cut and always the highest quality. I get to choose from hundreds of paper colors and weights or materials.
I see patterns on-line that can be cut out by myself but so not worth a poor quality product for something I want to last and look spectacular.


This Cake Slice Box Set- Two Tier cake (die cuts)was actually made for Terry in opalescent white metallic and I used Amethyst accessories.

Here is the basic supplies I started with to create this wonderful cake.

Let me share some steps to construct one of your own

You may also contact Terry at Creative Cuts and More to purchase the supplies and have me construct and decorate for you in your choice of colors.

I chose to use a cardboard cake form as a base. Killer red Tacky tape works best for this cake because I used metallic papers and I wanted it to stay together.I personally like to use a bone folder to make all the folds crisp, but it isn't necessary if you choose not to use one

White tissue paper works well to stuff the inside to help keep the form of each slice and not add weight to the cake.

Wanted to share a close up of the tape areas to help keep the slices together forever.

The larger size slices get placed on the bottom first and placed closely together to give the top layer the support it will need after fully decorated.

This is a quick view of the two tiers together undecorated.

These are the supplies used to decorate and assemble the Dress and Tuxedo Box Set.

The Dress & Tuxedo set come as a separate set and the suit, dress, shirt and tie can be made in any color choice you would like.
Each of these pieces can also be purchased separately.

I used Tulle that was dotted to accent the dress- sort of a thin liner so the pearl shine on the dress shows through.

Decorating the Two Tier Cake is the best part of this process. I started with the teardrop pearl and braided trim around the middle of each layer.
The bride and groom were added to the middle of the top of the cake at a slight angle to make room for decorations.
I was lucky to find these beautiful open flowers in a Amethyst shade to match the grooms shirt and tie.
I even added a small flower to the lapel and around the waist of the bridal dress

I had to add a couple butterflies to this Spring like two tier cake.

Many of these items can be purchased individually if you would like to check them out.

Valentine Cake Box Treat...

Here's a pretty Valentine Cake Box Treat I created using the Cake Box die cut from Creative Cuts & More. These little cake boxes can be made so quickly and decorated for so many occasions. My image is from Fred, She Said and my sentiment is a dollar stamp from JoAnn's.

Awareness Ribbon Gifts by Dawn

Hello Everyone Dawn here again,
I am back today with a few more gifts I made from Creative Cuts and More products.
Some of the products I received from Terry at CC&M after winning a blog hop are part of this post and in today's.
These are the gifts I included with the package with the album I took to the cancer center to donate.

Awareness Ribbon A7 Scallop Card - Horizontal is the base I started with here.I used the stamp set from Clear Arts to decorate and also the Ek Success border punch. The paper I used in the window is from CTMH.

Awareness Ribbon Window Square Box #01 in pink here was so easy to decorate.

I used the aggressive Killer White Tear-able Tacky Tape - 1/4" on the backside of the box to cover the ribbon, then just added a little rock crystal glitter. The stretch pink ribbon, small flowers and pearls are from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for stopping by today until next time- take care!

Peace on Earth Sleigh

Hello, everyone, it's Darsie! I have created an elegant centerpiece for my Christmas table using the 3D Sleigh die cut! This was surprisingly easy to make using glitter paper, and some sparkly greenery and poinsettias for accents! I just love how you can order whatever color paper you want for the die cut, then all you have to do is tape it together with Killer White Tearable Tacky Tape! Then the sky is the limit in decorations for it!

I had my card party play with the sleighs and they created some of the most beautiful sleighs I've seen! I even had one lady decorate hers with gumdrops and candy canes!! Once you're done decorating, you can fill this little sleigh with just about anything: cookies, candies, small packages or greenery like I did!!

Wishing you a Happy Crafting Season! ~ Darsie

Candy Cane Sleigh

Did you all have a great Thanksgiving? It's so hard to believe that Christmas is now less than a month away! Wow!

I ordered this 3-D sleigh die cut from Creative Cuts and More, stamped on it with a candy cane stamp using Versamark, and filled it with mini candy canes from Walmart. There is a good double handful of candy canes in this sleigh, which is plenty of room for your holiday candies. Wouldn't it be fun to have several of these around your living room for your friends and family to help themselves?

Die Cut: 3-D Sleigh
Stamps: Flourishes' Sweets of the Season
Other: Killer Red Tacky Tape, Copic markers, mini candy canes
