Free For All At Pebbles, Inc.

a.k.a. The little cake box....

Here's a little project I whipped up for the Pebbles, Inc. blog for Free For All Friday. It's a little gift box (about the right size to hold a gift card or small item) made from a round chipboard box turned upside down. I used boxes similar to these, which I found at my local craft store (my project measures about 5" x 3"):

They were piled on my desk when I realized that turned upside down, they looked like little layer cakes. I had a few sizes and settle on a slightly larger size for this project:

I covered the box with a variety of Pebbles product and an SRM sticker on the little flags.

I made those green leaves by punching circles, scoring them down the center and bending them up a little:

When you lift the cake off it's base, you reveal the 'happy birthday' message. These cakes could easily be adapted as favor boxes for weddings or any other kind of party, for that matter:

Used some big dies to cut the scalloped base for the cake - a doily could be cute too!

Also made this card to go along with my cake box:
