How to make a layered Cake Topper with Cricut
So cute! What do you put on the back so the white doesn't show from the faux leather? 😊
Where are the free templates? it doesn't show it
theres no download link in the "celebration craft freebies" page after you put in the password, only the tutorials but no way to actually download the free SVG's after subscribing...
my deep cut blade keeps shredding my foam no matter what settings I use!
Thank you for this! I was told to use an embossing buddy on the acetate but it causes the shakers to look "dusty" on the inside. I'm definitely gonna try the rubbing alcohol! That's brilliant!
Is your website down? None of the links are working for me. I can't even go to your wedsite.
the link to the free svg is broken. Where can we find it?
Thanks for this video and free designs. If these are not actually cake toppers, I would love to see them in use. I'm not sure how they can be used.
Just cane here to say THANK YOU!! Just made a shaker cake topper using your strip svg. It was super easy! I just resizes it a little to fit my smaller cake topper.. thank you for sharing this with us 🌸
Where, can I buy this patterned file. My daughters bday is coming up and she loves gnomes
i still have not received the password to get in your libruary
Amazing! Hope this gets released to your guide as well 😊
Can you do multiple layers?
This is amazing. I've been longing to make a shaker topper, but dreaded any of those foam adhesives, and along you came to save the day!! Bless you!
THE LEGO’s ONE WAS AMAZING
Thank you for showing this it really is amazing.
I ordered the materials from the list posted in the link and the size of the lollipops doesn't match with the ones you have they are tiny .. then the adhesive foam I got was tiny too and all white (not like yours wich i see is pink on one side and white on the othwe.... I regret not checking on my one the materials and trusted your list but those two things are incorrect
Has this been updated to be able to use? Error 404 Not Found pops up when I go to download it.
Sorry about that. I updated it. Please try again.
@@CraftaraCreates, No it still giving the error message.
@@CraftaraCreatesit’s the same for me, showing error 404 not found when trying to download
@@mccallmemaybe_try now. I think it’s fixed. 😊
This is beautiful but cant download file.
I was so excited to try this tool but I had no luck in opening the file :S it says to me that the file is corrupted...hopefully this can be fixed as this is a very valuable resource
I updated the file. Please try again
Try again, it’s working.
Finally someone the understands how metal works!
I just made this from the craftfest. It's adorable. Thank you for sharing!
When creating shakers and generally cake toppers from foam, do you use plain craft foam of adhesive backed craft foam? If it is plain foam, what adhesive are you using to assemble your topper? Thanks for the informative video :)
So cute! But I can’t find the link
Where can we see the material list ?
Very helpful! thanks
What type of blinking balloon lights are you using?
What glue did you use and what is that foams thickness?
I downloaded the spreadsheet but when I go to open it Excel says the file is corrupt and cannot open. 😞
same here
Try again, I think it’s working now.
@@msreds23try again, it’s working now.
@@msreds23try again, it’s working.
Now I need to make cupcakes just to use these :) So cute!
Definitely!
Aww this is amazing Tara .. love it love it love it
So glad you like this project Libby!
Thank you for this great and super useful design! What font did you use from Creative Fabrica? The font is so clean and simple. TIA
So glad you enjoyed this project! The font is called Norfleet Sketch. However, I had issues using that font in Cricut design space. I had to use a graphic design software to make it work because it’s a single line font. For that reason, I didn’t recommend that font.
@@CraftaraCreates Thank you for your quick reply! Good to know that DS didn’t like the single line font. Thanks for the heads up! If I discover a way to use the font in DS, I’ll let you know. 😄
Love them....Great design.
Thank you so much!
Adorable! Great tutorial!
Thanks Tracy!
Really nice tutorial. Thank you
Love ❤️ this!!!
This is super helpful as I wanted to start a foam project and didn't know which blade to go with for foam. Also I absolutely love your cake topper. It looks fabulous and super professional.
I'm so glad to hear this was a helpful video for you. And thank you on the cake topper :)
Love this. Thank you
Thank you. I do make cake toppers and from time to time shaker ones and I’ve had sticking problem. So will try window cleaner 😊
So glad this was helpful for you!
Love this! Thank you.
Have you ever tried to make them with wood on the Cricut?
No I have not tried using wood with Cricut to makes these. I think the cuts may be too small.
Thank you for this great tutorial! I have a question, i don’t know what I could be doing wrong, Ihave the name Janet in mine and when the machine cuts it, it makes a little cut in the connecting line in between the E and the T. I’ve tried putting the letters closer and further apart and still the same. I don’t know if my question is clear 😂 wish I could insert a pic. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Feel free to email me photos: tara@craftaracreates.com
@@CraftaraCreates thanks so much - I will.
Love this. Thank you for the video. ❤
So glad you love this project!
So clever, just love these an your so clear with the instructions thank you x
You're very welcome!
I have adhesive backed foam sheets. What settings and blade would I use for my maker 3?
For adhesive foam cuts, switch the Cricut blade out for the deep point blade. Select craft foam for the material and more pressure. Here is a project where I used adhesive foam sheets: ua-cam.com/video/uD-3GIQ-teQ/v-deo.html
Thank you!
@CraftaraCreates where did you find the blades in a multi-pack? Didn't see an affiliate link for that in the description.
Cricut's website directly. Here is a link: cricut.com/en-us/tools-accessories/machine-tools/replacement-parts/premium-fine-point-replacement-blades-5-ct./2003237.html
Thank you
This didn’t work for me some names would not attach to the bar no matter how overlapped I made them.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you can try again another day.
Step by step! You made it look easy. Can't wait to make gifts for my family.
So glad you like this project!
Love it 💕
Thank you!
Could you use this for wood with an engraver?
A glowforge could make this out of wood. This project would be difficult to make from wood on a Cricut using the knife blade.
