It's always so much fun to create something unique and different to use as a gift, packaging, or decoration. The Triangle Treat Die Set offers all 3. It can be used as a gift package/box, a party favor, or as a table decoration for a special event. Whether a birthday, wedding, shower, retirement party etc, these darling boxes will be the perfect accessory to the decor.
Yesterday on my blog, I showed you an individual slice of cake that I made. Today I want to show you how you can make a full cake using 8 of these put together. Here are some photos of my completed projects (note: I used 6 so that you can see what the inside would look like):
Doesn't this look good enough to eat! Each cake slice top was embellished just a little bit differently. I switched out the colors of the roses and the dots are both gold and silver. Imagine the possibilities of cake flavors (change the card stock color), frosting (change out the ribbon), and decorations for the top (change it out for any occasions).
By lining up the ribbon with the center end scallop on each slice, it keeps the ribbon lined up all the way around when put together for the full cake.
A bit better view of the top of the slices and the differences in the silver/gold dot layouts.
The Triangle Treat Die will work in the Amaze Machine,
Platinum 6 (pre-order it now), and the Platinum Machine. For the Amaze and the Platinum 6, it's a bit tighter of a cut but doable. This is the way FSJ has demonstrated cutting out the die with the smaller platform machine. You will need to cut the end piece twice. Each slice of cake will use an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of card stock. Cut the card stock down to accommodate the long die. Then cut out the end pieces with the remaining piece of card stock. 3 runs through the machine. I highly recommend taping (washi tape works well) the dies down so they do not move while cutting.
With the
Platinum Machine, it will allow you to cut a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch of card stock at one time. No need to cut the sheet into two pieces. I laid the dies at an angle. This gave me a bit more room to work with them. Either way, you will still use one full sheet of card stock per slice of cake. This is how I laid it out before running it through my Platinum Machine.
Reminder, you will still need to cut out two of the end pieces.
Tips:
1. Craft Glue worked extremely well with this project. I like that it allows me to move the card stock into place. Allow each section to set up/dry before moving on. This will allow for a stronger hold.
2. FSJ White Liner Tape was perfect for the back of the ribbon. It allowed me to place and secure it to the cake slice.
3. Craft Glue (not glue dots or white liner tape) worked the best for securing the scalloped ends.
4. Create some areas to allow the slices to dry with the scallop tip facing down (I put it between to bottles of liquid) so that the bow can dry flat.
5. Allow to dry completely before adding candy etc to the inside.
