Today is another awesome Friend Request and it comes from Amanda, who wrote on my facebook page, that she was having a baby shower and was having a bit of a mental block when it came to creating things for the shower. I ran through a bunch of different types of things that I could showcase, a banner, an all paper flower floral arrangement, but then I decided to make a piece of cake, that is really just a piece of cake to make
Well then I said, wait how am I going to make this? I didn't have a pie box template or any sort of cartridge that had a triangle box. [Side note: you can find a box similar on Tags bags boxes and more (retired) and Tie the Knot] So I did what any other crafty woman would do, make my own. I literally had to do a bit of math to figure it out. And thank god I took those calculus courses in College!
So I will make this gypsy file available via email, if you would like it let me know and i'll be more than happy to send it your way because file sharing sites on the computer scare me! I do not know how to covert it to DS files... but if any of you out there know how to, you're more than welcome to it! I made the file using George and Basic Shapes because everyone who owns a cricut has George Preloaded on it (more info here,and yes it works)
Anyways in the video there are a few different tricks on how to make 3D prima flowers as well as tying the perfect bow using just your fingers :)
Just wanted to note that it takes 9 Triangles to make a cake layer, I did make 9 Triangles but only decorated 3 because I could not figure out for the life of me what I would do with a party favor box cake just sitting around!
