Graphic 45 
Botanical Tea
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! 
Design ID numbers and assembly provided:

Tiered Birthday Cake by Lori Whitlock Design ID #122267 
"Made up of 2 circle boxes that stack together and layer perfectly...
each measures 3.5" tall. The largest cake is 7" wide 
and smaller cake is 5" wide."

Other Supplies:
Bo Bunny Die Flutter By 
Memory Box Die La Rue Heart
Spellbinders Tiered Multiloop Bows
Border Die
Small Butterfly Die
Sticky Red Double Sided Tape
Lindy's Embossing Powder Purely White

Ball Chain, Pins, Eyelets, Brads
String, Rhinestones, Flowers and Birds

Cut 2 circle boxes, a teacup with saucer 
and teapot using the Silhouette and Botanical Tea 
collection sheets. Assemble accordingly.
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.

Graphic 45 
'Self Portrait' 
Film Reel Box - 
Mini ATC Tag Album
'Live Beautifully' 

Hello dear friends! 
So excited to share my first Design Team project as Graphic 45 
Brand Ambassador. was asked to create a project that reflects me as an 
artist using my favorite paper medium and go-to technique!

I decided to make an off the page project...
(for those who know me...know this is what I LOVE to do!) 
I have decided to combine one of my favorites Portrait of a Lady Collection with 
Botanical Tea DCEI looooove pink and the colours in Botanical Tea were a 
perfect match to the green and gold in Portrait of a Lady
My favorite paper medium is black cardstock and go-to technique would be 
chipboard pieces embossed and die cuts for layering!




But first an Introduction...
My name is Tanya Cloete (aka Tanya Scrap).
I live in Pretoria, South Africa. Pretoria is the administrative capital of 
South Africa and is also known as 'Jacaranda City' for its thousands 
of Jacaranda trees - Wikipedia. Cannot picture this city without those pretty little 
purple flowers! I am what you would call an avid scrapper.I spent most of my 
time crafting away in my little piece of heaven, my happy place. 
This all started about 7 years ago seeking a hobby to keep me busy.
I have always loved making crafty things as far as I can remember 
but never imagined that scrapbooking/paper crafting would develop 
into such a passion.I still love every single moment of my crafty journey! 
I enjoy creating Single Page Layouts, Mini Albums, Mixed Media pieces, 
Altered Art,and Cards but my love lies in creating Off the Page projects! 

A special thanks to the wonderful Graphic 45 Family 
for this AWESOME opportunity to be on this FABULOUS team 
and to be the first South African to represent their 
AMAZING brand - a HUGE honor!!!!

from Portrait of a Lady and Botanical Tea.
Both inside and out.

2. Add pink ribbon around the sides of box

**Tip: Adhere these with sticky red tape. I prefer
the red tape for projects like this...as it is strong and
won't fall apart or come loose!

and the G45 door knocker to the centre and add pink
rhinestones to the open holes of each piece.

cardstock measuring 28 cm x 7 cm.
Cut another strip form the collection sheets and adhere
to the black strip leaving a small border.

Add a paper straw through the hole of the one film reel.
This will be place into the other one at an angle.

6. Cut 12 portraits from the Portrait of a Lady 
Collection using the film strip die.
**Tip: Adhere a piece of masking tape to 
each portrait picture when cutting to ensure
that is stays in place. 

7. Adhere all the portrait pieces to the open 
frames of the black film strip die cut with 
washi/decorative tape. Adhere two of the film 
strip ends together. Place over the 'pipe' piece 
and adhere the picture wheels to the top 
and bottom. Add G45 brads to the holes.

the die cut hearts, butterflies, leaves 
shapes, string and flowers.

the frame with Chateau Rose. Adhere

from the black cardstock photo mats in the box.
