My First Diaper Cake!

This last weekend, I attended my first baby shower in over 6 years, so I jumped at the chance to make my very first diaper cake! I really enjoyed putting this lovely little creation together!

I created a topper for the cake using the "Baby Bundle" and "Occasional Quotes" stamp sets, the scallop circle die and the perfect polka dots embossing folder for the big shot. The color scheme for the cake was a combination of Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery.

I rolled up little baby socks into rosettes and places them around the cake:

I added several bows around each tier and accented each layer with the SU Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accents:

I love my SU-created custom "handmade by" stamp... just perfect for those projects that involve a bit more than just stamping! ;o)

I also created a card that matches the cake topper:


Such a fun project to make! Can't wait to make one again! :o)
