Directions:

You will need to cut three cardboard circles to act as the base for each tier. Use the blackout option on the circle cut on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge or any Cricut cartridge that has a circle cut. With the deep cutting blade installed on your Cricut machine, place one sheet of the thick cardboard on the cutting mat. Insert into machine and cut a 10 ½" circle. Remove mat from machine and replace the cardboard with a new sheet. Insert into machine and cut a 7 ½" circle. Remove mat from machine and replace cardboard with a new sheet. Insert into machine and cut a 6" circle. Remove from machine and replace the deep cutting blade (blue blade cartridge) with the regular cutting blade (green blade cartridge).

Using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, cut out ten 9" cake box slices. Cut five from 5 sheets of the lavender sheets of cardstock and five from five sheets of the pink cardstock. Next make ten 8" cake box slices from five of the lavender sheets of cardstock and five from the pink sheets. Use these same sheets and cut 6" cake box slices, which will be five of the lavender and five of the pink.

Cut a nut cup out of the extra lavender or pink sheet using the Tags and More cartridge. Then switch to the Celebrations cartridge and cut out two pink and two lavender cupcakes that are 4", using the cupcake 2 cut. Then use the pink and lavender glitter paper and cut the top layer of the cupcakes, two of each color. Attach the glitter top layers of the cupcakes to the bottom layers using pop dots adhesive. Then assemble the nut cup and glue the cupcakes to each side of the nut cup. Fill the bottom of the nut cup with hard candy or decorative rocks. Decorate the tops of the cupcakes with colored baubles. Glue Prima flowers to the end of colored wire and glue the wire into the inside of the nut cup.

Assemble all the cake boxes and fill with candy. Punch out butterflies from the left over pink and lavender cardstock and glitter papers. Glue the butterflies and baubles to the boxes.

Next assemble the layers. Put double sided adhesive tape on the 10 ½" circle, this will be the bottom layer. Place all the larger boxes side by side on the larger circle so that they stick to the double-sided tape. Then do the same with the next two layers. Stack the layers on top of each other and then add the nut cup decorative box on the top.
