Shaker Cake Topper Tutorial Using Cricut Design Space
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Here is a full start to finish tutorial of a shaker cake topper I made in Cricut Design Space.
In this tutorial I show how I made this shaker cake topper in the easiest way I could think of that would be achievable regardless of the type of cutting machine you are working with. I show how I designed and put the topper together in Cricut Design Space. I share what worked and what didn’t and what I would do different next time. It’s a learning process than only gets better with time and practice. As usual feel free to ask questions by leaving a comment or find me on social media or by email.
Thank you!

You said The next one would be better? I found this one really Good! Excellent! Thank you for the tutorial.
This tutorial is SO helpful!! Thank you so so much for helping me make my boys Sonic cake special!!
I was actually looking for a tutorial to do a very easy shaker cake topper on my Cricut Maker & I can’t believe that I found this with the exact theme and age; it was the first video to pop up!!! This is so easy to follow and I’m not worried anymore about it being time consuming because I only have a week to get this done. Thank you so much for sharing and making it so easy to do.
Omg your comment made my day. I’m happy I was able to help 😊👍🏼
Hands down the best, clearest, easiest to follow tutorial for the layered shaker cake toppers!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
Great to hear that thanks so much 😊
So far this has been the most well explained tutorial!! I’m completely new & listening to other tutorials confused me so much lol! Great job mama ❤️
I'm super happy that cricut DS now offers offset. Before that, I wish I had known your method to make an offset. It's fantastic! Maybe I'll try it anyway 😁. Thank you!
The struggle before the offset feature!! I’m happy for it as well 😃
I'm SO GLAD I found your channel! You're extremely facile in Design Space and yet explain everything you're doing very effectively. Adorable, striking design. THANK YOU!!!
Well hello and welcome 😃 I’m glad you found me as well 👏🏼
Best tutorial on youtube! Thanks for sharing! 🤩
Omg! Nice idea on how to do offset on design space. I’m so use to doing them on inkscape.
Yes I thought it was an alternative to Inkscape or Phonto specially when it’s an easy font like this one ☺️
Girl, who doesn't shop at the 99 cent store?! Damn only smart people do. How do you think the rich stay rich by negotiating and finding great deals. Keep being you and blessing us with your knowledge. Girl may God keep blessing you and your ❤ ones too. Always stay true and sincere and you will keep making it far. 👏😉
If only there was a way for me to show you how my topper came out omg it came out perfect. Very detailed and precise.
I have no idea how I made it here but I’m so happy I’m here. This tutorial was perfect!
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here 😊
Omg! Beautiful!! And I didnt know Cricut is so much easier than silhouette!!! I have been having silhouette for so long!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!! 😊
Thanks! Cricut is easier in some ways but for cake toppers I usually like the offset feature on silhouette ☺️ I guess they both have their good and bad right?!
Finally a simple and easy video !!! Keep them coming !!!!!!
Thanks 😊
Please make more topper tutorials
@@thekellyslove1349 I will try my best to make more 😊
You not really shaking the topper when it's on the shaker gave it a awesome affect. Absolutely a lovely cake topper. Nice work.
Thanks! 😊
Easiest tutorial to follow, thank you so much!
Awesome!!! 😃
This is perfect!!! Thank you so much! I learned a ton!
Great tutorial!!! I did mine as i was watching the video so i could get it right. Literally the easiest step by step video i have ever watched.
Aww that’s so nice to hear that 😊
Omg I love it!! Im thinking I have to layer a million times but that foam is a game changer! Ty for sharing!
Yes now you can layer the foam if you need it higher up 😬
Thank you so much! Just made my first shaker cake topper today for my nieces sonic birthday and it turned out so cute!! Would love to see more 😍
Omg that’s awesome 👏🏼😃 I’ll work on more
How do u cut the acetate paper on cricut
Thank you so much ! I have watched many videos but yours is the best. Thank you.
I’m glad I could help 😁
I love this video... I always buy my cake toppers from Amazon or Etsy. But this year I'm gonna do my own... Thank you so much for the tutorial
I’m excited for you!!! 😊
I have one question. Did you cut the Acetate sheet on cricut as well?
@@goldybaby88 yes I did. There is a setting for acetate and it cuts well.
Thank you so much❤️
One more question. I don't have a circut machine yet. I'm about to get one. I see so many, do you suggest a certain model?
i’m so glad o found your channel...🙏🏼
Welcome. I hope you find it helpful ☺️
This was a very simple & easy tutorial to follow along with. Thank you so much! I’ll be using this to make my first shaker cake topper. Also, I know the video is old but a tip I learned to prevent everything from clinging to the acetate is to wipe it with windex first. Thank you again 🙏🏽🥰
Thank you. Yes the windex has solved the issue 😆
Love it! Great job!
So happy I found this 💓 I did one for my sons cake topper Sonic theme 😍
That’s awesome!! 😊
Finally well explained video you are awesome ❤️
My Sons bdaybis this month and it's going to be Sonic! Thank u so much, I will be recreating your ideas.
Oh perfect!! Wash the acetate with soap and water before hand so you get better results with the confetti part 😊
Enjoyed the video! Easy to follow. I really enjoyed the feedback on mistakes (if you can even call them that) & things you would do differently. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Thanks. Definitely mistakes to learn from and get better😊 I now wash the acetate with soap as it was suggested in a comment so we are all learning together 👍🏼
Awwwwee I loved this especially with little one at the end of the video saying goodbye. Lol
Thanks for the tips, I’m going to try making a cake topper for my baby’s birthday!!
Thanks. My kids are better than me with the whole subscribe part lol tag me when you make it @unacraftyteacher

Thank you. I need to use my cricut more and my baby has a birthday so I'm going to try this.

Thank you so much!! I didn’t have time to make a sonic cake and I’m not that good with cake decorating and this is more my style!! Instead of the 3 Stars, I added Sonics friend Tails flying through the ring.
That’s great to hear! I’m sure it looks awesome with Tails on it great idea. 👍🏼
Thanks 🙏🏽 muy bien

Yassss!!! 🤗 That’s what I’m here for 🙌
I love this 😍😍😍😍
Thanks 😊
Thank you sooo much for making this video!
You’re welcome. Hope it helped 😊
Hi! Amazing tutorial thank you so much for making it!
Hello there! You’re welcome. I hope it helped ☺️
That’s a good idea with the offset I sometimes if i don’t want to use Inkscape I make the font as big as I can change it to print MAKE IT THEN SCREEN SHOT IT WITH BLEED.
Yes the bleed method is another way. I usually use Silhouette Studio for script fonts but I figured this one would be easy to do like this. Inkscape is also a good software to use.
Just subscribed....love the video you make it so simple. Now I want to try.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks I’m just trying to help 😊
new idea I wish I found you intimate for my nice party.
but at least I have time since my daughters is next up in October ill be using this method for her lego theme
Awesome!! Now with the new offset feature in design space it will be easier.
Thanks for your help I was able to make my son cake topper for he bday wish I can send it to u so u could see it
Aww I’m glad. Tag me on Instagram or tiktok. @danyspapercrafts I’m sure it looks great
I recommend washing your piece of acetate with soap and water very gently to remove static and dry it with a microfiber towel so you don’t scratch it by accident. removes static and then all your contents move around freely :)
Also more importantly: beautiful topper! I love the colors!
Awesome good to know. I did hear from someone else about the soap and water to clean it but if it’s going to help with static I will definitely do it next time. Thanks 😊
Rub a bounce dryer sheet to get rid of the static.
✨E X C E L L E N T ✨
Wow
I loved this tutorial. Just in FYI you can upload the lightining background at a pattern. Use the print and cut option.
Yup that’s a different way of doing it. But I didn’t think about it until I sent it to cut and went with this method 🤣😂
Wow,sure glad there's a offset now 🤣. Thanks for the tutorial. 😊
I know took them long enough lol 😜
Awesome easy to follow tutorial. Going to give it a try today. I don’t understand the reasoning for coping 6 times and then shift right arrow then ….. what does this do. Thank you in advance for explaining. I have subscribed . Have a great day.
Thank you I’m sure you’ll do great. The reason for the copying is to create an offset (the edge on the letters) this tutorial was before the offset feature on design space so skip the 6 times and just use the offset tool. Message me on Instagram if you need help along the way. 🤗
Can you please do the shaker treat box tutorial! I loved this thank you ❤️
I haven’t made one of those yet but I’ll keep in mind. Thanks 💜
Wow! They need to just make that style a font cuss... nope. Looks like you found your perfect pitch :). Is that sonic music?
🙂thanks. We do what we gotta do to get the results we want. And no it’s not sonic music 😄
Great Job! Where did you get the lighting background? I don't find a good one. I love the one you picked.
Thanks! I got it on line. I just googled blue lightning background. Hope it helps.
Sis..wym better? Can it get anybetter than this?? I think not! You did great!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks girl!!! 😁😁
Can someone please tell me on what I print before cutting ? Regular paper or cardboard? Thank you in advance
Hello how are you? I’m using a gs-24 cutter. My question is do you design on Canva first?
What model machine is this?
Thank you soooo much for this amazing video. So far the best one to follow! You did a great job. I so have one question. Will we get same results by using the "offset" feature on design space versus duplicating 6x? Or is your method better for more Sharp edges? Either way I love ur method. Just curious as to what the difference is
Thank you for your kind words. Yes this video was before the offset feature was available. So yes use the offset feature and it’s way better and easier. 😊
I'm new to all of this cricut/design space the tutorial looks easy but i have a question and its probably a stupid question but the sonic did you print that on regular paper.?
The Printed Sonic on cardstock paper yes. I have another video on print and cut since I didn’t include it on this video 😊
Do I need to buy ink for my circuit maker? How did you print the sonic?
You need a printer connected to your computer. The Cricut only cuts and draws with pens. So once you send the project to make you send it to print and your printer should pop up.
I had the same question so you print it on regular printer and cut out free handed?
@@bianeydelgado8312 When you go make the project Design space will prompt you to print the image. Then once printed you place it on the mat and the Cricut will cut it for you. I’ll make a video ☺️
@@bianeydelgado8312 I think she made have used card stock paper (65lbs). It’s very sturdy for these projects.
hello! i was wondering if you could explain how you welded the back frame to the name together? i cannot seem to connect the two at the same time.
Hi. So first duplicate the name part to have an extra and select the original name and the back and click weld. You can also find me on Instagram and I can help you more ☺️
Where can i upload the picture of sonic plz
So the Sonic character is printed on a regular colour printer? Great tutorial I can't wait to try in future
Yes! Design Space will guide you but if you need more here is a video on print then cut ua-cam.com/video/NYDmp8Sd5WU/v-deo.html
What kind material paper did you use for this ?
i use to use design space, but i've always been obsessssed with offsetting and i had to switch to silhouette, so many options
Oh yes Silhouette Studio is amazing. Design space has a lot of catching up to do lol
Hi, excellent video. where can I find the clear sheet? ❤ or what is the name?
Hi. It’s Cricut brand acetate. amzn.to/3xQnH3P
I don’t understand the cutting process how did u make everything to be different colors in the cutting process which color did u put in the mat first do u have a video to explain the steps in that ??
I’m working on one. But the system guides you through everything and it will ask you what color to put on the mat and then the next one. You just gotta try it and mess up and that’s how I learned. Start with a simple project so you get the process.
Where can I get the font u are using? I don't see it on cricut
So cute! Where'd you get the confetti pieces (not the stars). I don't think I see it in the description.
Thanks. I get the sequences from the Dollar Tree and any other 99cent store.
Loved the tutorial 🥰 what size is your overall topper
Thank you! I believe it’s 9” in width and 10 in height ☺️
I liked, subscribed because your daughter told me to lol
one question
where did you get the svg file
for sonic ?
My daughter is a cutie. Thanks! The SVG is from the internet. Just google the image for example “Sonic png” so it has a transparent background. It’s easier 😊
There's an Offset feature in Design Space, but other than that, great tutorial.
Yes this video is old before the offset update lol I need to make an updated one. Thanks 😊
Did you cut your supplies using that sticky mat? It bent up all my cutouts. How did you get yours so perfect? Thank you for sharing. Even though they're bent, I know my son will love his cake topper!
Yes the mat is very sticky at first and could bend some materials. I always use a scraper/squeegee very slowly. After a few uses it won’t be so sticky and easier to work with. Hope it helps 😊
@@UnaCraftyTeacher thank you so much! I'm so excited to put it on the cake!!!
@@korrinwinters1697 I’m sure your son will love it 😊
Can I ask why you didn't just offset this
how do you print the sonic picture and cut it with acetate? the acetate i have is non stick. great tutorial!
No I printed and cut the Sonic on white cardstock and stuck it on top of the acetate I have another video on print and cut if you need more info on that😊
Where can i find the sonic images for print and cut? Im making one for my son! Thanks!
Just search on Google “sonic png”
Parabéns topper perfeito e deu pra aprender direitinho. Gostaria de saber o nome do app que você editou, e se pode baixar no celular.
The program is Cricut Design Space.
Thank you so much for the video!!!
Is it me or at 5:21 there is a faint voice that says "Hello". I think I heard it because I'm wearing headphones. I played it several times and I hear 'hello'
It may be the Ice cream truck that says hello lol
Love this, what was the size of your background to assemble this cake topper please,
Thanks!! It’s about 8in in height and 7 in in width. I usually make them 7-7.5 in width and the size in height changes according to the style.
Thank you!
Is the printer you used to print Sonic a sublimation printer?
Regular printer and regular ink
I really didn’t understand why you did the little triangle on the A’s and why you did the six copies of the name etc?
This video was before the offset feature was available so I had to find other ways to do it. No need for that anymore just do the offset.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It’s so very helpful! I was wondering what printer you use? And what paper for that printer?
You’re welcome 😊 my printer is HP DeskJet 3630 and the paper on this project is 65lbs. I believe the info is in the description 😊
@@UnaCraftyTeacher do we need a special cutter to cut out the images?
@@TheJuhiDiaries you need a printer and then the Cricut will cut it out.
