My Cricut Craft Room's Theme Day Thursday "Sweet Treats"

Today over at My Cricut Craftroom is Theme Day Thursday.

The Theme for today is "Sweet Treats"

My husband's friend Jamie LOVES the New York Yankees

 and had a Birthday coming up so, I thought I could join

 those two together.

One of my very favorite Cricut cartridges is Tags, Bags,

Boxes & More.  This cake box was cut with the fit to 

page option on.  It ended up being 2 1/4 tall, 5 1/2 long

& 3 1/2 wide in the back. The blue paper is from Bazzill

and is really nice and thick so, it holds up really well.  I 

think that is one of the tricks to making any of the boxes

on this cartridge.

The baseball is from Everyday Paper Dolls cut at 2

inches. I then backed it with another baseball cut out 

of the blue paper at 2 1/4 inches.  To have it lifted off

the top of the box I added pop dots to the bottom of 

the baseball. To make the NY look more like the 

real NY design I cut the N out from Kate's ABCs 

at 1 1/2 inches and the Y is from Old West cut at 

1 1/2 inches.  I added pop dots to the N to have it

lift off the Y.

I love adding the little extra touches to make the boxes look 

like a real piece of cake.  The dripping frosting is from the 

Martha Stewart border punch called Drippy Goo. This was 

a very sought after punch a few year ago because of all the 

different way you can use it.  I ran the "frosting" trough my

Cuttlebug with the dots folder and them chalked them with

a blue chalk.  If you look closely in the pictures you can see a

little white tab on the back of the box.  I added a strip of twill

tape so Jamie could get at the "Sweet Treats" that were in his 

box.  I filled a plastic treat bag with cake balls that I decorated

with blue and white chocolate.  

Here is the web site to get some great direction on how to make 

cake balls and cake pops.
