Battery Operated Tealight Cakes!
Good Morning! This week I am sharing new files that use Battery Operated Tealights! Let's start the week off with my new Cake Tealights! I am using LED tealights that are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2". I found a large box of 24 at either my Sams Club or Costco...is it bad that I frequent them both so often that I can't remember which!? :)
This file works with a battery operated tealight and it comes with all the paper elements shown. The file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.
Here's the tutorial:
1. Cut out all your pieces.
2. Grab the piece with the tabs. Place adhesive on the side tab then adhere the tab to the other side of the piece to form a circle. Grab one of your circle frame pieces and place adhesive all over the back of it. Push the bottom tabs down so they are flat against your workspace.
3. Insert the circle frame piece, adhesive side down. Adhere it securely to the tabs. I use a tongue depressor/craft stick to smooth mine out and adhere it in place.
4. Place adhesive on the back of the second circle frame piece then place it in adhesive side up (but don't push it all the way down yet). Push your tabs down then flip the piece over and push the circle frame down against those tabs and adhere in place. Your piece should look like this now.
5. Grab the last circle frame piece and place adhesive on its back. Adhere it on top of one side.
6. Flip your piece over and add adhesive to the exposed tab pieces. Gather your scallop piece.
7. Adhere the main piece to the center of the scallop piece.
8. Insert your battery operated tealight. Place adhesive on the small circle piece and adhere it to the top of your tealight. Place adhesive along the ric-rac cut and adhere it around the cake.
9. Next gather your flower pieces. Curl the petals with a skewer or pencil then push the ends of the small center up.
10. Adhere the center to one of the flower pieces.
11. Then adhere the two flowers together.
12. Adhere the flower to the cake! You can easily pull up the tealight to turn it off and on.
This box is approximately 3" x 3" x 1-1/2" and fits the Birthday Cake Tealight. The box sides "explode" out when the lid lifts exposing the tealight cake. This box can be used on its own as well and is compatible with the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.

Here's the tutorial:
1. Follow the tutorial for the single cake to form the tealight bases. Your pieces should look like this when finished.
2. Adhere the large circles on each side of the large base.
3. Adhere the scallop on the large base. Your larger base should look like this now.
4. Place adhesive on the center of the scallop circle piece.
5. Adhere the large base to the scallop circle.
6. Adhere the small scallop border to the tealight base. Adhere the tealight base in the center of the large base.
7. Insert your tealight. Adhere the small circle panel over the tealight flame.
8. Embellish as desired.
This box is approximately 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" x 2-1/2" and fits the Birthday Cake Tealight. The box sides "explode" out when the lid lifts exposing the tealight cake. This box can be used on its own as well and is compatible with the 8x12 and 12x12 mats.

I have had a couple questions with this one so
I am hoping the following will help explain the tiers:
The red are the pieces for the top/smallest tier. The orange are the pieces for the middle tier. The yellow is for the largest tier, and then you have the green scallop for the bottom of the cake then the blue scallops for the cake borders (in size order).
If you have questions, please feel free to email me: jamielanedesigns@gmail.com

Here's the tutorial:
1. This file comes with two bases. The Cameo base is all one piece. This is the Portrait base. Place adhesive on the tab and adhere to the main box.
2. Your base should look like this now.
3. Insert your cake in the box center.
4. To build the lid, place adhesive on the four small tabs and adhere them to the box sides. Adhere mats in place.
5. Pull up the sides of the box and then place the lid on and embellish as desired. When opened, the box side fall out revealing the cake!
Here's a look at the three boxes together...
