I can't go on with any part of this post without apologizing for my awful photo. No matter what position I clicked from I just could not get a decent photo. The picture doesn't do this Cutting Cafe 3-Tiered Box any justice at all.
So today the Cutting Cafe Design Team is using the 3-Tiered Cake Box Template and Cutting File. I will tell you that I had to alter my box sizes slightly for my purpose because I had specific items to go in the boxes, as I made this to give my daughter for her wedding. Today, April 21st, hubby and I are attending our daughter's wedding in Michigan. For us Floridians, can I just say it's awfully darn cold here. I left 90 degrees and arrived to 45 degrees. Shocking to my system, to say the least. What possessed her to choose a location at the farthest northern spot of the lower peninsula, I'll never know. It was her decision to make anyway, so no matter where she chose we would be there.
Anyway, back to my design. I used K & Company papers for the box. I used the SVG file and my Cricut Explore to cut all my pieces. As a side note, I first cut a prototype from white cardstock to get my sizes all right. If you have really good paper that you are planning to use, I would suggest you do the same, just in case anything goes wrong. I was so glad I did this because I did make a mistake along the way. If I had used the pretty paper first I would have ruined it and I didn't have anymore. After cutting all the pieces and assembling the boxes I did some simple embellishment of each "layer" by adding lace along the top edge. I didn't want to cover too much of the gorgeous paper on the top so I die cut a felt rose and a couple leaves and added them off to the side so the prettiest part of the paper could still be seen. I know you'll want to see the rest of the Design Team's creations using this awesome box so check out The Cutting Cafe Blog. Oh, I forgot to mention this cutting file also comes with a box to put the cake in for presentation. I forgot to take a photo of mine before I packed it to take on the trip. So sorry, but you can see the awesome cake and box Regina made HERE on The Cutting Cafe website.
