New Baby Boy Card

Unfortunately due to my boss leaving and me being promoted the last two months have been hectic so I haven't had any time to craft. Luckily it's all starting to calm down now and i've been on holiday this week so had lots of time to play! My mind is overflowing with ideas and i've started half a dozen cards so look out for those soon :-)

Anyway here's a commissioned card I made a while ago but haven't yet posted. It was cut out on my Craft Robo then embellished with Stickles, card candy and ribbon. Very quick to put together but I think it looks really effective!

Rainbow Cake

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to make cards recently but last weekend my brother asked me to make him a birthday cake. His friend was already making him a chocolate cake so I decided to go for something a bit different with a rainbow cake. Each layer was flavoured with different fresh fruit then coloured with concentrated die and cooked seperately (red = strawberry, orange = orange, yellow = lemon, green = kiwi, blue = blueberry, purple = grape).



The recipe was a based on the following links:
