Paper Wedding Cake Part Two

 I have had the professional wedding photographs back for a while now and I have been meaning to share them with you sooner but we are having a extension built so I have been up to my knees in dust and house reorganisation. The photos of the cake in the last post were taken from  friends that had shared them on the internet so it does mean you are not able to click on the photo for a better look. These ones you will be able to.

The shot below is taken from the top of the cake

Part One- The Wedding Cake

Well it has been a while. I have had a very busy couple of months. I am no longer Catherine Evans I am now Catherine Wilcox!
The picture below is me telling everyone at my wedding how to open the all in one box that I posted a video for ,it can be found here. I made 80 of these boxes which made up my wedding cake, each box contained chocolate. It was really hard explaining to my wedding co-ordinator what I was on about and I could see form her face that she thought I was a bit mad.

The following pictures tell the cake story

There will be more to follow. 

Easter Box / Basket

Continuing with the Easter theme today.

Wedding Sweet bag

This is one of my projects I made for my inspiration station at my quarterly training at the end of last month. You may have noticed a colour theme coming through. I thought this would make a great box for a wedding gift to go in.

Stampin' Up! Treat Box Specialty Paper Bridesmaid

I have had a child free day today so I thought I would share this treat box with you. I made this at a workshop I did last night. 


I love this Specialty Paper Bridesmaid cardstock, the possibilities with it are endless. It is foiled which gives it a fantastic shine, it also provides patten and texture to the paper. It comes in a pack of 10 with two different patterns. The foil  foil imprinting resists the ink leaving striped or filligree paper in any colour you choose.

So here we go the first thing that you will need to do is cut the cardstock at 10cm by 20cm.

Next choose the colour ink you want to transform your paper into, in this case I chose Rose Red.

Ink up your brayer, turn the ink pad sideways, it quicker as it fits the brayer perfectly.

Now you are ready to colour the card stock! You will need to go over it several times to get good coverage.

Clean off the ink that has remained on the foil with a piece of kitchen towel, this will bring up the shine.

Now score at 10cm, mark each end at five and then score from the mark to the 10 cm score line.

You should end up with something that looks like this.

Now bring the box together and punch holes in both sides

Thread ribbon through the holes to close the box

You are done. All you need to do now is fill your treat box with treats!!!

I can not take credit for the box design, I have been making it for a while and I can not remember the original source.

Stampin' Up! Melon Mambo Box

Here is another box... I made this one a while ago. I got this idea from a template but adapted it slightly.

Supplies:- One sheet of Melon Mambo card stock, scraps of very vanilla and rich razzleberry to make the flowers, Boho Blossoms punch and whisper white1/4" Grosgrain ribbon

Stampin' Up! Christmas box

HI all it has been a while since I have posted.... but I have been busy with the kids and with creating! I know it may be a bit too early to start thinking about Christmas but for us crafters it is never too early!!! This is a Christmas box that could be filled with sweet treats or a small gift. This is not my idea and the tutorial for it can be found here what a great little box it is and the tutorial for it is very easy to follow.

Supplies Used:- One sheet of 12x12 kraft card stock, patterned paper and cardstock from the I wish scrapbooking kit and old olive satin ribbon.
