DIY Happy Birthday Cake Topper + FREE files

Hey Everyone!

Recently I have been making fancy cake toppers for family and friends. They can give a plain ol' cake the wow factor, without spending lots time or money! Believe me I know how much time it takes to make fondant cakes and this is the perfect alternative when you simply do not have the time! I have seen many expensive metal and wooden toppers out there but when you can make them out of paper for a few dollars, why spend the big bucks!

Here is what I am talking about!
So pretty right?!

So today I want to share with you how to make your very own. Here is a quick video of me making one to show you all. If you haven't yet, I would love for you to subscribe to my channel for future crafty videos :)

Here is what you need to make your own:

Electronic Cutter - I used the Silhouette Cameo
Glitter or foil paper (I used foil paper from Recollections) avoided a glittery mess.
Heavy card stock or light weight chipboard paper.
Glue, hot glue and gun.
Toothpicks or skewers.
Cake of course!  (homemade or store bought... shhh, no one will know!)

3D Paper Minecraft Creeper Treat Box - FREE FILE

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I have been a bit MIA recently, work and life has been getting in the way of my crafting... how dare that happen, LOL! Anyways today I'm SO excited to share with you my D.I.Y. MINECRAFT Creeper Paper Treat Box/Toy!

Last week I volunteered at my children's school for Option Day. I thought it would be fun to do a few 3D papercrafts with a group of children from grades 4-6. In my group, I had 6 boys and 2 girls. Most of the projects I had planned were quick Easter SVG Cuts projects, but being that there were so many boys I thought it would be fun to have something the boys could relate to, plus many girls love MINECRAFT too! So I made my own Creeper file for them :)

HOW aWeSoMe are THEY!?! So easy and quick to assemble, a great papercraft to create with the kids. I think they would also be perfect for a birthday party activity or treat for guests to take home!

I wished I had taken some pictures of the kid's creations but unfortunately the time flew by so quickly that I really didn't get a chance. Thank goodness I had a really good helper, Amanda who is also a parent and the Librarian at the school, she really saved me that day! Without her, we wouldn't have been able to get through all the projects I had planned!

Below is the link to the FREE File for you all! I really wanted to make it accessible for everyone (not just for those with electronic cutters) so I created it in a few different formats!
