I am having so much fun with this new 3-D pop-up die from Sizzix. Stampin' Up! has been allowed to have an early release of this die and also a 3-D pop-up ball die. The die cuts out the working parts of the pop-up cake and you cut strips of designer paper or card stock to go around the layers of the cake. The cake is not too difficult to put together. I did find out that you should glue the candles onto the strip of designer paper for the top layer before wrapping the strip around the layer. Getting the candles to stick on the cake after it was completed proved to be quite a challenge.
