Lay out four slices of bread on a clean work surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the chive cream cheese mixture on each slice.

Top two of these slices with a single layer of thinly sliced cucumber. Place the remaining two cream-cheese-spread slices on top of the cucumber slices, creating two two-layer stacks.

On the top two slices of these stacks, spread a thin, even layer of the strawberry butter. Top with thinly sliced smoked salmon.

Carefully place the remaining four untouched bread slices on top of the salmon, forming two triple-decker sandwiches. Lightly press down to secure.

Using the 1-inch and 1.5-inch round cookie cutters, cut out various sizes of small, circular sandwiches from the prepared stacks.

Arrange the varying sizes of sandwich bites artistically on a serving platter. Garnish with tiny sprigs of fresh dill.
