Shaker Cake Topper Tutorial Using Cricut Design Space
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Here is a full start to finish tutorial of a shaker cake topper I made in Cricut Design Space.
In this tutorial I show how I made this shaker cake topper in the easiest way I could think of that would be achievable regardless of the type of cutting machine you are working with. I show how I designed and put the topper together in Cricut Design Space. I share what worked and what didn’t and what I would do different next time. It’s a learning process than only gets better with time and practice. As usual feel free to ask questions by leaving a comment or find me on social media or by email.
Thank you!

This tutorial is SO helpful!! Thank you so so much for helping me make my boys Sonic cake special!!
I was actually looking for a tutorial to do a very easy shaker cake topper on my Cricut Maker & I can’t believe that I found this with the exact theme and age; it was the first video to pop up!!! This is so easy to follow and I’m not worried anymore about it being time consuming because I only have a week to get this done. Thank you so much for sharing and making it so easy to do.
Omg your comment made my day. I’m happy I was able to help 😊👍🏼
Hands down the best, clearest, easiest to follow tutorial for the layered shaker cake toppers!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
Great to hear that thanks so much 😊
Girl, who doesn't shop at the 99 cent store?! Damn only smart people do. How do you think the rich stay rich by negotiating and finding great deals. Keep being you and blessing us with your knowledge. Girl may God keep blessing you and your ❤ ones too. Always stay true and sincere and you will keep making it far. 👏😉
So far this has been the most well explained tutorial!! I’m completely new & listening to other tutorials confused me so much lol! Great job mama ❤️
I'm super happy that cricut DS now offers offset. Before that, I wish I had known your method to make an offset. It's fantastic! Maybe I'll try it anyway 😁. Thank you!
The struggle before the offset feature!! I’m happy for it as well 😃
I'm SO GLAD I found your channel! You're extremely facile in Design Space and yet explain everything you're doing very effectively. Adorable, striking design. THANK YOU!!!
Well hello and welcome 😃 I’m glad you found me as well 👏🏼
I have no idea how I made it here but I’m so happy I’m here. This tutorial was perfect!
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here 😊
If only there was a way for me to show you how my topper came out omg it came out perfect. Very detailed and precise.
Best tutorial on youtube! Thanks for sharing! 🤩
You not really shaking the topper when it's on the shaker gave it a awesome affect. Absolutely a lovely cake topper. Nice work.
Thanks! 😊
Omg! Nice idea on how to do offset on design space. I’m so use to doing them on inkscape.
Yes I thought it was an alternative to Inkscape or Phonto specially when it’s an easy font like this one ☺️
Omg! Beautiful!! And I didnt know Cricut is so much easier than silhouette!!! I have been having silhouette for so long!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!! 😊
Thanks! Cricut is easier in some ways but for cake toppers I usually like the offset feature on silhouette ☺️ I guess they both have their good and bad right?!
Finally a simple and easy video !!! Keep them coming !!!!!!
Thanks 😊
Please make more topper tutorials
@@thekellyslove1349 I will try my best to make more 😊
Great tutorial!!! I did mine as i was watching the video so i could get it right. Literally the easiest step by step video i have ever watched.
Aww that’s so nice to hear that 😊
I love this video... I always buy my cake toppers from Amazon or Etsy. But this year I'm gonna do my own... Thank you so much for the tutorial
I’m excited for you!!! 😊
I have one question. Did you cut the Acetate sheet on cricut as well?
@@goldybaby88 yes I did. There is a setting for acetate and it cuts well.
Thank you so much❤️
One more question. I don't have a circut machine yet. I'm about to get one. I see so many, do you suggest a certain model?
This was a very simple & easy tutorial to follow along with. Thank you so much! I’ll be using this to make my first shaker cake topper. Also, I know the video is old but a tip I learned to prevent everything from clinging to the acetate is to wipe it with windex first. Thank you again 🙏🏽🥰
Thank you. Yes the windex has solved the issue 😆
Omg I love it!! Im thinking I have to layer a million times but that foam is a game changer! Ty for sharing!
Yes now you can layer the foam if you need it higher up 😬
Awwwwee I loved this especially with little one at the end of the video saying goodbye. Lol
Thanks for the tips, I’m going to try making a cake topper for my baby’s birthday!!
Thanks. My kids are better than me with the whole subscribe part lol tag me when you make it @unacraftyteacher

@@UnaCraftyTeacher Will.do, once I get my hands on it
My Sons bdaybis this month and it's going to be Sonic! Thank u so much, I will be recreating your ideas.
Oh perfect!! Wash the acetate with soap and water before hand so you get better results with the confetti part 😊
Enjoyed the video! Easy to follow. I really enjoyed the feedback on mistakes (if you can even call them that) & things you would do differently. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Thanks. Definitely mistakes to learn from and get better😊 I now wash the acetate with soap as it was suggested in a comment so we are all learning together 👍🏼
It was great I like the fact that not all of the confetti shakes
So happy I found this 💓 I did one for my sons cake topper Sonic theme 😍
That’s awesome!! 😊
Finally well explained video you are awesome ❤️
i’m so glad o found your channel...🙏🏼
Welcome. I hope you find it helpful ☺️
Thank you so much!! I didn’t have time to make a sonic cake and I’m not that good with cake decorating and this is more my style!! Instead of the 3 Stars, I added Sonics friend Tails flying through the ring.
That’s great to hear! I’m sure it looks awesome with Tails on it great idea. 👍🏼
Thank you. I need to use my cricut more and my baby has a birthday so I'm going to try this.
Yes get on that Cricut and make stuff!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more like this.
I will do my best 😊

Thank you and you’re welcome 🤗
I am so happy i came across this video.. makes it to easy to make it.. thanks

Thanks for your help I was able to make my son cake topper for he bday wish I can send it to u so u could see it
Aww I’m glad. Tag me on Instagram or tiktok. @danyspapercrafts I’m sure it looks great
Thank you so much for this video, it’s so much for doing the background for me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You’re welcome 😊
new idea I wish I found you intimate for my nice party.
but at least I have time since my daughters is next up in October ill be using this method for her lego theme
Awesome!! Now with the new offset feature in design space it will be easier.
That’s a good idea with the offset I sometimes if i don’t want to use Inkscape I make the font as big as I can change it to print MAKE IT THEN SCREEN SHOT IT WITH BLEED.
Yes the bleed method is another way. I usually use Silhouette Studio for script fonts but I figured this one would be easy to do like this. Inkscape is also a good software to use.
great instructions
Just subscribed....love the video you make it so simple. Now I want to try.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks I’m just trying to help 😊
It came out so nice!! Thank you for this tutorial
You’re welcome 😊
This was an awesome tutorial thanks so much!
I love it!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
That looks so nice! You’ve definitely inspired me. 😃
Thank You 😊
Thank you for sharing your method with us🥰🥰🥰
Where do you get your small round sticky foam.
You’re welcome 😊 and the small round foam stickies I believe I got them at a 99c store by my house sorry it’s not a popular store it’s one of those 98c stores
Ok I hope to find them😊
Hi! Amazing tutorial thank you so much for making it!
Hello there! You’re welcome. I hope it helped ☺️
Can you please do the shaker treat box tutorial! I loved this thank you ❤️
I haven’t made one of those yet but I’ll keep in mind. Thanks 💜
Woww!! You’re inspiring me 😍 thank you
Yassss!!! 🤗 That’s what I’m here for 🙌
I recommend washing your piece of acetate with soap and water very gently to remove static and dry it with a microfiber towel so you don’t scratch it by accident. removes static and then all your contents move around freely :)
Also more importantly: beautiful topper! I love the colors!
Awesome good to know. I did hear from someone else about the soap and water to clean it but if it’s going to help with static I will definitely do it next time. Thanks 😊
Rub a bounce dryer sheet to get rid of the static.
Thank you sooo much for making this video!
You’re welcome. Hope it helped 😊
Great video! TFS
Awesome easy to follow tutorial. Going to give it a try today. I don’t understand the reasoning for coping 6 times and then shift right arrow then ….. what does this do. Thank you in advance for explaining. I have subscribed . Have a great day.
Thank you I’m sure you’ll do great. The reason for the copying is to create an offset (the edge on the letters) this tutorial was before the offset feature on design space so skip the 6 times and just use the offset tool. Message me on Instagram if you need help along the way. 🤗
Thanks 🙏🏽 muy bien
Thank you!
I loved this tutorial. Just in FYI you can upload the lightining background at a pattern. Use the print and cut option.
Yup that’s a different way of doing it. But I didn’t think about it until I sent it to cut and went with this method 🤣😂
I love this 😍😍😍😍
Thanks 😊
Great Job! Where did you get the lighting background? I don't find a good one. I love the one you picked.
Thanks! I got it on line. I just googled blue lightning background. Hope it helps.
Awesomeness job
Thank You 😊
Wow! They need to just make that style a font cuss... nope. Looks like you found your perfect pitch :). Is that sonic music?
🙂thanks. We do what we gotta do to get the results we want. And no it’s not sonic music 😄
Nice
Talent!!!!!
Thank you 🤗🤗
i think it looks perfect
Thanks 😊
Wow,sure glad there's a offset now 🤣. Thanks for the tutorial. 😊
I know took them long enough lol 😜
✨E X C E L L E N T ✨
Sis..wym better? Can it get anybetter than this?? I think not! You did great!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks girl!!! 😁😁
Can someone please tell me on what I print before cutting ? Regular paper or cardboard? Thank you in advance
hello! i was wondering if you could explain how you welded the back frame to the name together? i cannot seem to connect the two at the same time.
Hi. So first duplicate the name part to have an extra and select the original name and the back and click weld. You can also find me on Instagram and I can help you more ☺️
Where can i upload the picture of sonic plz
I don’t understand the cutting process how did u make everything to be different colors in the cutting process which color did u put in the mat first do u have a video to explain the steps in that ??
I’m working on one. But the system guides you through everything and it will ask you what color to put on the mat and then the next one. You just gotta try it and mess up and that’s how I learned. Start with a simple project so you get the process.
Wow
Hi, excellent video. where can I find the clear sheet? ❤ or what is the name?
Hi. It’s Cricut brand acetate. amzn.to/3xQnH3P
Hello how are you? I’m using a gs-24 cutter. My question is do you design on Canva first?
So the Sonic character is printed on a regular colour printer? Great tutorial I can't wait to try in future
Yes! Design Space will guide you but if you need more here is a video on print then cut ruclips.net/video/NYDmp8Sd5WU/видео.html
What model machine is this?
I'm new to all of this cricut/design space the tutorial looks easy but i have a question and its probably a stupid question but the sonic did you print that on regular paper.?
The Printed Sonic on cardstock paper yes. I have another video on print and cut since I didn’t include it on this video 😊
Thank you so much for the video!!!
Is it me or at 5:21 there is a faint voice that says "Hello". I think I heard it because I'm wearing headphones. I played it several times and I hear 'hello'
It may be the Ice cream truck that says hello lol
So cute! Where'd you get the confetti pieces (not the stars). I don't think I see it in the description.
Thanks. I get the sequences from the Dollar Tree and any other 99cent store.
Do I need to buy ink for my circuit maker? How did you print the sonic?
You need a printer connected to your computer. The Cricut only cuts and draws with pens. So once you send the project to make you send it to print and your printer should pop up.
I had the same question so you print it on regular printer and cut out free handed?
@@bianeydelgado8312 When you go make the project Design space will prompt you to print the image. Then once printed you place it on the mat and the Cricut will cut it for you. I’ll make a video ☺️
@@bianeydelgado8312 I think she made have used card stock paper (65lbs). It’s very sturdy for these projects.
Can I ask why you didn't just offset this
Loved the tutorial 🥰 what size is your overall topper
Thank you! I believe it’s 9” in width and 10 in height ☺️
Thank you soooo much for this amazing video. So far the best one to follow! You did a great job. I so have one question. Will we get same results by using the "offset" feature on design space versus duplicating 6x? Or is your method better for more Sharp edges? Either way I love ur method. Just curious as to what the difference is
Thank you for your kind words. Yes this video was before the offset feature was available. So yes use the offset feature and it’s way better and easier. 😊
i use to use design space, but i've always been obsessssed with offsetting and i had to switch to silhouette, so many options
Oh yes Silhouette Studio is amazing. Design space has a lot of catching up to do lol
I really didn’t understand why you did the little triangle on the A’s and why you did the six copies of the name etc?
This video was before the offset feature was available so I had to find other ways to do it. No need for that anymore just do the offset.
Parabéns topper perfeito e deu pra aprender direitinho. Gostaria de saber o nome do app que você editou, e se pode baixar no celular.
The program is Cricut Design Space.
Where can I get the font u are using? I don't see it on cricut
There's an Offset feature in Design Space, but other than that, great tutorial.
Yes this video is old before the offset update lol I need to make an updated one. Thanks 😊
I dont understand when you say "using your keyboard up left" etc. what keys are you using?
The arrow keys
I liked, subscribed because your daughter told me to lol
one question
where did you get the svg file
for sonic ?
My daughter is a cutie. Thanks! The SVG is from the internet. Just google the image for example “Sonic png” so it has a transparent background. It’s easier 😊
how do you print the sonic picture and cut it with acetate? the acetate i have is non stick. great tutorial!
No I printed and cut the Sonic on white cardstock and stuck it on top of the acetate I have another video on print and cut if you need more info on that😊
Where can i find the sonic images for print and cut? Im making one for my son! Thanks!
Just search on Google “sonic png”
What kind material paper did you use for this ?
Questions? If I want to do a sonic like that would I need a license to do so if I would sale to someone?
Hello! I don’t know the answer for that sorry.
What type of paper do u use for sonic ?
It’s white cardstock, Recollections brand 65lbs from Michael’s
Did u used regular white print paper for the sonic pic
I used 65 lbs card stock so it’s a little stiff
