It's Throwback Thursday over at My Creative Time, and the entire design team is joining in the fun today! Emma asked us to create a 3-D project. I decided to make the cake box from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I can't believe I never used this before. It is too cute, and will make a perfect little treat for my friend who is celebrating a birthday this weekend!
I cut my box at 8 1/2" twice, once in the brown polka dotted paper, and once in light blue. Before cutting, I used my Gypsy to hide all of the tick marks and two slits that are part of the cut. I really don't care for the look of tick marks along my score lines, and this box is easy to score without them.
I assembled the brown box and then trimmed down the light blue so that I would just have a piece for the top and part of the sides. Before I layered this on the brown, I used the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch around the edges. I then added my treat (chocolate covered dried fruit from Trader Joe's - yum!) and adhered my box shut with a clear round sticker.
When I trimmed the light blue, I was left with a section that I was able to trim down for another triangle layer that I could run through my Cuttlebug. I also added a 1/4" strip of yellow cardstock on all 3 sides of the box.
For my sentiment, I used an adorable stamp from My Creative Time's "Wow! So Many Candles" stamp set. I just stamped it onto some rustic white cardstock and trimmed around it. Then I inked the edges and adhered it to a slightly bigger piece of pink cardstock.
The final touch was some some flowers and buttons. I made my flowers out of felt, using Papertrey Ink dies with my Cuttlebug. I added a few buttons and twine with my glue gun, and that was it! Cute and yummy!
