Another day, another cake topper shaker order. I love how all the colors shine and it’s just all so extra. πŸ˜‚πŸ₯°πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈ 🐳 πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’š

You can find my Cake Topper Shaker Slider Base SVG Pack in my shop!

Tips:
1. Foam sheets cut on my Cricut Maker on flex foam setting using the rotary blade - cuts like 🧈.

2. For Print and Cut, I added white circles behind the purple beads so that it won’t try to cut around those tiny details. I try to avoid anything that will give me a headache. Lol. I’ve had plenty of times when the image is ruined cause it ripped during the last step.

3. Using sequins is like ordering food - it’s better to have leftovers than to be left hungry. #moreisalwaysbetter πŸ˜‚πŸ€£
