Diaper Cake

While I was working on restoring my computer to working order, I actually did some projects without using Design Studio! I am so accustomed to using the software to lay out my cuts (even if I am not creating a new design) that it took me a few minutes to get going "the old way!"



A friend wanted to make a diaper cake for a baby shower so a few of us got together, rolled the diapers, tied the layers and covered the tiers with receiving blanket "frosting." She had some items to add for decoration at home, but we got started cutting out cute shapes from the New Arrival cartridge and just couldn't stop!


These were all done using the circle feature and the circle blackout in the opposite color. Then we punched holes, added eyelets and threaded narrow ribbon through the holes to create "ornaments" for the cake (we tucked the ribbon hangers between the rolled diapers). These could be reused as tags or for a mobile in the baby's room.



Here are two more views of the cake - my friend had a baby bottle for the top and some rubber ducks, finger puppets and socks to add for decorations but since I was leaving for my son's Parent's Weekend at college I took a few quick photos and just put a bow at the top for these photos.

Apparently the cake was quite a hit at the shower - I will post a photo of the final version if I can.
