Paper Cake Centrepiece

'Beautiful' 

Hello dear G45ers! 

Sharing an OTP, a Paper Cake Centerpiece with 

Teapot Topper...what would a cake be without a topper right?

created with the gorgeous Botanical Tea DCE! 

Just love the pinks, greens and blues in this collection! 

How pretty wouldn't this piece look in the centre of a table 
of a party such as a High Tea?!
Tip : Adhere bows on lid only...being able

to open up the boxes. You can hide a little 

surprise/treasure on the inside.

I made this project with the help of my Silhouette!

Cut 2 circle boxes, a teacup with saucer

Tip : Use red double side 
tape to adhere boxes. 
This makes assembly easy and will 
prevent the box from falling apart. 

Cut a few bows using the Spellbinders die.

Tip : Curl the two bow strips forming a 
curve using the back of pencil or
 similar object. This makes 
folding the end pieces 
together a little easier. 

Fasten with a brad.

Emboss the chipboard pieces with 

embossing powders.

Make 2 cluster embellishments using 

the die cut hearts, butterflies, leaves 

shapes, string, birds and flowers.

Adhere to the boxes with pins.

Add rhinestones to the centre of each butterfly 

die cut. Add door knob to lid of tea pot.

Mat the stickers from the collection sticker sheet

onto cardstock. Fussy cut and add an eyelet 

and ball chain. Hang from tea cup handle.

Fussy cut some butterfly and bird 

elements from the collection. 

Tip : Curl the elements a little

using the back of pencil or
 similar object to give some 

dimension.

Add die cut border shapes to the bottom sections

of the boxes to give it that finishing touch.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Happy Papercrafting!
