My nephew Dominic is turning 4 this year and I wanted to make a fun project for him. I wanted a mini album,cake, box and something to hold his giftcard. This project was perfect and incorporated all the things I wanted to create. The papers I used is from the Basic Grey Shine On collection and the cake box is Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Cake Box die.
I made the outside of the box simple by adding a jumbo monogram letter from the coordinating die cut pack and tied some white seam biding around the lid.
I wanted Dominic to have a cake and also thought it would be fun place to add a giftcard inside. I added a few embellishments on the top pages and kept it really simple therefore my cousin can just add his photos on top. There's three layers of design paper in the explosion box which is perfect for my cousin to add photos of his first 3 years.
On top of the cake I layered a canvas die cut from the collection and created a rosette using the Tim Holtz Alterations Paper Rosettes Die. I tied some bakers twine in yellow and white and place a I Am Roses flower on top. I stamped Happy Birthday on the design paper and created a banner. I then die cut the number four from my new Tim Holtz Word Play Alphabet die with chipboard. I colored the chipboard using the Faber Castell Design Memory Crafts Color Gelatos in Pistachio and added some glitter on top.

Greetings Ingrid from Holland
I came over here to see if the swap info was up already (this was before realizing you said during the weekend) and then I see this! It's super cute Bona! I made one with a birthday cake in the middle of the box in June and my friend wubbed it! These are fun to make! When you get time you should go check it out! I'll have to keep on coming back to check your swap because I think it would be so much fun!
