Piggy Swimming Pool Cake

Hello,

I was asked to make a cake for a family friends daughter who was turning 18! 

She has a Love of both chocolate and Pigs! So I couldn't resist playing with the idea that pigs love to play in mud, and turned the cake into a chocolate swimming pool for the Pigs! 

Below is an image of the finished cake!

I hope my blog helps you to find inspiration and would like to invite you to leave as many comments and questions as you would like in regards to any post. I will always try to respond to as many of these as possible.

Hope you are having a wonderful day,

Masculine Birthday Cards

Hello, 

I'm decided to work with some card sketches to create some Masculine Cards, as yet again I find myself needing to replenish my stash of them. 

Also I thought I would mention, that on these cards I used a new brand of border stickers that I had come across; as since making the New Baby Cards I have become obsessed with outlining patterned paper with them! The stickers are made by 'Love From Lizi' (There is a link in the supply section at the bottom) and come in a huge range of colours, where the previous ones I got from Hobbycraft only ever came in gold or silver.

Dressed Up Birthday Cards

Hello,

While playing with the 'All Dressed Up' craft papers from Making Cards Magazine, I came across the two girl cut apart images that I have used on the card below. I felt they would be perfect to use to make a card for my best friends birthday; as one of the girls resembles me, while the other looks a lot like her!

Once I had made her card, I continued to use the other girl images to make some extra cards!

Below are the individual images of the extra cards I created:

A Fox Birthday Cake!

Hello,

I have loved the Unicorn Cake since it started trending back at the end of 2016 and I am so happy that it is still going strong!

However as it is now Autumn and I was making a cake for a Man (my uncle), I decided to switch it up a bit and change the unicorn for a fox! 

(Plus there has been a fox terrorising my uncle by digging up his garden! Ha Ha Ha!) 

I think this Cake Idea would also work well for Halloween or Thanksgiving Parties!

Below are some more Images of the finished cake!

Card Sketch Monday - 8th October 2018

Hello, 

As I enjoyed using the pattern papers from last months issue of Making Cards & Papercraft so much, I decided that this week I would use the pattern papers from their Christmas Edition to make some cards!

As these are Christmas cards I couldn't resist adding a bit of glitter and sparkle so did do a bit of heat embossing on top of the snowdrops and tree ornaments in the images!
