A New Release Birthday Celebration in Honor of
SUSANNA BOYD, Paper Crafts Planet Founder!
3 PRIZES of $20, $10 and $5 Gift Certificates to Creations by AR!
This month Adela has created a wonderful Dessert Cage template. Now I know Susanna isn't 80 years old!! but a friend of mine at church is - and her daughters are having a surprise party for her today and I was invited to attend. I wanted to to give her a little something special to mark this special occasion.
Here's how the Dessert Cage looks empty. Adela has made such a fun design - it has two levels to put treats on and is quite sturdy when you make it from heavy card stock (I used paper from Papertrey Ink). I used the PDF file (also comes in SVG and DXF) and I cut all the pieces out with scissors and my xacto knife - it didn't take me very long and was easy to do.
I made my Dessert Cage out of Smokey Shadow card stock to look like the black metal dessert trays I've seen in stores. I used pretty blue papers from Amuse and wrinkled seam tape to dress it up.
I made some Pumpkin Spice Cookies to place on the bottom shelf of the Dessert Cage and put some Hot Cinnamon Tea Bags on the top layer.
Here's a side view with the Dessert Cage filled with my goodies for Doris.
I die cut a Spellbinders tag and stamped 'Sweet Birthday Wishes' from Waltzingmouse on it. I die cut the numbers with dies from Papertrey Ink.
