Welcome to the first ever Creative Cuts and More blog hop. For those of you who just hopped on over from Lindsay's blog thanks for coming over. Lindsay and all of the CC&M design team are such inspiring woman and do an amazing job! If this is your first stop in the blog hop then make sure you go to where all the fun begins...Diecut Diva the blog of the Creative Cuts and More design team!!
For my first project I made a cheery, summery, red and white polka dot two tier wedding cake. You can purchase the cake boxes individually or enough to make one tier. You can also purchase the two tiers, like mine here as the "cake box set". The colors I chose are from Curious Metallics "Ice Gold" (white) and Stardream Shimmer Metallics "Jupiter" (red). This picture does not do the cardstock justice, it is shimmery and creamy, simply gorgeous! I used the "Polka Dots" stamp set from Paper Trey Ink inked up with Versa Mark and embossed with White EP from Stampin' UP! The boxes are put together with "Killer Red Tacky Tape". Creative Cuts and More carries Killer Red tacky tape in three sizes and boy do they sell it at a great price! To finish this cake off I added some satin lined organdy wire ribbon and some silk flowers I found a Michaels. Really super easy and what a great center piece. Another idea is make a one tier birthday cake and fill each box with party favors!
My next trio of projects I made the bride, groom and chair favor boxes from Creative Cuts and More. The brides dress is in Curious Metallics "Ice Gold". I used some double sided tape flourishes from Doodle Bug then added Dazzling Di
amonds from Stampin' UP! The tuxedo box is cut from Stardream Shimmer Metallics "Onyx" cardstock, which does come with a bow tie. I chose to make a tie out of ribbon to match the brides sash. The chair box is cut from Curious Metallics "Gold Leaf" cardstock. I tried using some wide ribbon to make the chair look like it had a skirt, like they do at wedding receptions. All three boxes are super easy to put together. There is no need for tape, which makes assembly super easy!

very pretty Pam!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous job on your cake- I just made something similar last week ( pic on myu blog) but yours is soooo much nicer!
ReplyDeleteWhere was this when I had weddings-yes TWO, that's 2-last year! But the ideas are great and useful for many more occasions.
ReplyDeleteHi from Colo. Spgs.
Love that cake! Fabulous creations!
ReplyDeleteThe cake makes a "sweet" center piece. I like that you alternated papers. This would have been perfect for my friends Valentine's wedding we just did. I loved the ribbon tie for the tux. It looks like the old-fashioned ascots like my husband used. Thanks for doing the blog. It was fun and inspiring seeing everyone's so very different take on the same products.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks pretty enough to serve at any shower! Beautiful centerpiece. I'll remember how you did this. It is just gorgeous. Great job. (isn't that Ice Gold paper just lucious?? It's one of my favorites!!)

Such great ideas Pam, as always!! I love the trio of boxes, the chair is adorable with the ribbon around it!
ReplyDeletePam, these are GORGEOUS!!!!! I emailed your entire post to my niece, who is planning her wedding. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow...these are just amazing! I love the bride & groom outfits...and that cake is to die for...it looks almost good enough to eat :)
ReplyDeleteYour cake boxes reminded me of strawberry shortcake. I'm getting hungry just looking at them. I love the tie on the groom's box. So much cuter than a bowtie.
ReplyDeleteCan I say I love EVERYTHING! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWOW, that cake looks so delicious and wow on the dress and tuxedo....
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks absolutely deliscious! And your wedding trio are great too.

ReplyDeleteI just adore the cake, it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletewow those are so great you've got talent
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! You are so creative!
ReplyDeletePam the red really 'pops'. Love the color combo, but my absolute fav is your cake. Looks good enough to eat, yet too beautiful to destroy. What an awesome idea for wedding favors. Fill the little boxes with treats for your guests (could use for birthday, bridal shower, anniversary, all sorts of ideas are running amok in this head) anyway a great take away. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful projects just keep coming! I love what you did with the chair box, and the cake is fabulous! sullymel13@yahoo.com

Saw so much of the dress & tuxedo boxes that I totally forgot about the cake boxes till I got to your blog. Thanks for putting your spin on it.
