Snacks Anyone ?

Back in May I showed some of my Baseball cards. Now I'm sharing an altered project using this Best Creation collection. It's a snack tray made from corrugated cardboard and paper-cups. I had a lot of fun making this project, and even more snacking on the goodies afterwards.


I was inspired by the Burgeff company who designed a cardboard coffee tray using 4 circles puched-out from a circular corrugated cardboard. Not being a coffee drinker, I modified the design using a die-cut paper and turned it into a snack tray.

Tutorial :

  • Use this template to center four 2 ¼” circles on the Baseball die-cut paper and cut out the circles


  • Trace and cut-out the same shape from corrugated cardboard

  • Glue the baseball die-cut paper onto cardboard


  • Cover the circles with brown pattern paper on both sides and cut 1” notches in each circle

  • Insert the notched circles into each corner of the cardboard tray


  • Cover four paper cups with brown pattern paper and decorate with sticker and chipboard embellishments


  • Insert the paper cups into the circular cut-outs in the tray


  • Linking up to these parties.

    Baseball Supplies : 6"x6" glitter pad ,Glitter Paper #BB006, Glitter Die-Cut paper #BB010, Element Sticker, Combo Stickers, Expression Chipboard
    Others : Jillibean soup journalling sprout, corrugated cardboard, paper cups
