Cricut Files: Racecar #M3BBCF, Trophy #M38D5A, Cricut Racing Flags #M417FE, Cricut Banner #M46F09

This is a simple topper to make the Cricut images can easily be substituted with google images. If you’ve read any of my blogs or follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I like to layer my toppers a few times to add stability. This topper was no different. I cut out a few pieces to layer on the back of the topper. I really like the 3D element it adds but it’s totally optional.

My favorite thing about this is how the gold holographic paper conveys movement in its pattern. I intended for the racecar to be the spotlight of the piece but, in my opinion, the trophy stole the show. 

I actually attempted a second version of this topper with a different racecar and a medal instead of a trophy. Which one do you prefer? I am too obsessed with the trophy in the first topper to consider making more of the second one (even though my husband prefers the second version).

Cake toppers are easy to make and give such a handmade touch to any celebration!
