Once again, I found a fun idea on Pinterest and thought I might be able to translate the idea into an all paper project with a few adaptations.
Of course, it's not perfect, but I do like the results...
I used files from Simply Crafty SVGs to create my stack.... Let's start at the top and work our way down.
The Witch's Cauldron is at the top. I used just the cauldron and not the base. I added a string of fairy lights and some tulle for a little more interest. The panels on the cauldron are embossed with an old embossing folder from Provo Craft and "wiped" with some gold ink. The base is about 4.t inches in diameter.
The middle layer is the Birthday Cake file -- I altered the lid and added inked strips of paper to "mummify" the box. You can't open the box -- A couple of buttons from the button jar to finish it off. This box is about 5.5 inches in diameter.
I used the same file for the Frankie box. No altering other than adding the eyes, bolts and drawing the mouth on. The files are resized so the base is nearly 5.8" in diameter.
The Display Stand SVG file has been resized and is larger than the original file. It is 6" in diameter. I cut a couple of extra layers for added strength. I altered the side panel using a half circle. You do need to alter the side tab as it will show if you don't.
This piece is inked with white and would look cool with some purple mica or pearl ex rubbed on it.
The legs are from the Elf Pants Box that was released a couple of months ago. I didn't alter them. However, for a future iteration of this project, I would use foam core for added strength on the inside of the legs and lengthen them about 1.5 inches. And add a box that would hold the legs to the underside of the display layer for added stability.
The shoes are fun... I used the 3D Witch Bot Lantern SVG file - they are sized down a bit and the front panel is doubled and inked heavily along the cut line (the designer paper is my own design). Add additional embellishments as desired. For best results, weight the shoes using some floral gems or rocks. Add a piece of floral foam that fits snugly into the shoe. Create a depression and glue the legs into the shoes let that glue dry. Make sure that both legs are at the same height. Glue the legs to the bottom of the display table. Once things have dried, you can stack the boxes and cauldron and enjoy your project.
