Step by Step:Cake Stand
1. First up we will start with the cake stand! You can of courseuse the colors that match your theme, I've just picked bright funcolors for my project. Take 3 pieces of 12 x 12 cardstock for thebase of your cake, mine is green.2. Using the guillotine on your 2 in 1 combo trimmer cut one of the 12 x 12's in half (making (2) 12'' x 6'' pieces) score 1/2'' alongone of the lengths on each piece and also 1/2'' in on both endsof the pieces, cut into the corners where the score lines meet sothe sides will fold in smoothly. Trim the other 12 x12 piece downto 11'' on one side and then cut this in half (creating 2 pieces 11''x 6'') These will form the sides of the box and ensure it stayssquare by trimming this extra inch off.3. Using the Helmar glue, stick the sides of the box together(obviously with the 2 longer pieces opposite each other there-fore creating a square) From the remaining green 12 x 12 cut asquare 11'' x 11'' with the guillotine and add this to the top of your cake base. Because of the accurate measurements on thebase plate and accurate cutting of your guillotine on the 2 in 1combo trimmer, everything will line up to create the perfectsquare box.4. Cut a piece of 12 x 12 white cardstock in half (creating 2pieces 12 x 6) Score along one length of each piece at 1/2'' andscore along both ends of both pieces at 1/2''. Flip the cake baseover and adhere these 2 white strips inside for support. This finishes the construction of the base layer of your cake.5. The next layer of the cake is constructed in exactly the same way, just using a different color cardstock (mines yellow) and different sizes as follows; Cut 2 sides @ 8'' x5 1/2'' scored along 1 of the lengths of each at 1/2'' and both ends on both pieces at 1/2'' Cut 2 sides @ 7'' x 5 1/2'' scored along 1 of the lengths of both pieces at 1/2'' and 1 square top 7 x7. Construct in the same way and this time only cut 1 support from whitecardstock at 8 x 5 1/2 scored at 1/2'' along one length and 1/2'' in on both ends.6. And finally to finish the cake construction create another box for the top in a different color (mines pink) and different sizes asfollows; Cut 2 sides @ 4 1/2'' x 4 1/2'' (high) scored along the 1 of the lengths of each at 1/2'' and both ends on both pieces at 1/2''Cut 2 sides @ 3 1/2'' x 4 1/2'' (high) scored along 1 of the lengths of both pieces at 1/2'' and 1 square top 3 1/2'' x 3 1/2''. Construct inthe same way and this time you don't need to make a support as the box is quite small.7. To decorate you will use the rotary side of the 2 in 1 combo trimmer and decorative click blade #2803 creating your own layers of decorative paper ribbons which are so easy to make with this trimmer, have you seen how thin you can cut paper ribbons with itaccurately every time? Ok with the scallop blade good to go in your trimmer create the decorative strips as follows;For the green box; trim 2 strips of white cardstock 3'' x 12'' with the scallop blade and score at 1/2'' on both ends of both pieces,adhere these two to opposite sides of the base. Trim 2 more pieces of white cardstock with the scallop blade 3'' x 11'' and adherethese to the opposite two sides of the base box left covering the overlaps of the other two white strips. Now trim some patternedpaper from the Cosmo Cricket DeLovely kit using the same scallop blade, you will need two strips 2'' x 12'' scored at 1/2'' on bothends of both pieces and 2 strips 2'' x 11''. Adhere these centrally on the white strip on the box. And finally from some more whitecardstock trim 2 pieces (with the scallop blade again) 1'' x 12'' scored at 1/2 '' in on both ends of both pieces and 2 pieces 1'' x 11''. Ihave then cheese holed these white strips with my crop-a-dile for decorative interest. Adhere centrally on the patterned paper stripsaround the box.8. For the yellow box the creating is just the same using the scallop blade #2803 but with different sizes and a different patternedpaper. The sizes to cut as are follows; from white cardstock trim 2 strips 2 1/2'' x 8'' scored at 1/2'' on both ends of both pieces and 2strips 2 1/2'' x7'', adhere round box. From patterned paper trim 2 strips 1 1/2'' x 8'' scored at 1/2'' on both ends of both pieces and 2strips 1 1/2'' x 7'' , adhere round box and finally trim 2 more strips of white cardstock 3/4'' x 8'' scored at 1/2'' on both ends of bothpieces and 2 strips 3/4'' x 7'', cheesehole if you wish and adhere to box.9. For the pink box the creating is just the same using the scallop blade #2803 but with different sizes and a different patternedpaper. The sizes to cut as are follows; from white cardstock trim 2 strips 2'' x 4 1/2'' scored at 1/2'' on both ends of both pieces and 2strips 2'' x3 1/2'', adhere round box. From patterned paper trim 2 strips 1'' x 4 1/2'' scored at 1/2'' on both ends of both pieces and 2strips 1'' x 3 1/2'''' , adhere round box and finally trim 2 more strips of white cardstock 1/2'' x 4 1/2'' scored at 1/2'' on both ends of both pieces and 2 strips 1/2'' x 3 1/2'', cheesehole if you wish and adhere to box.10. All that remains now is to add some of the 3D stickers for decoration, place inthe middle of the party tea table and add some cakes!
