Anniversary card and BB8 cake

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

An anniversary card to share with you today, using 'Uptown Couple Emily and Ryan under the Umbrella' by Stamping Bella, which I coloured with promarkers.   The sentiment is from a free set I had with an issue of Making Cards magazine and I doodled around the outside with a fineliner pen.

And as promised, here is a picture of the 50th birthday cake I made for hubby (who is a Star Wars fan). It was a lot of work but I'm so chuffed at how it turned out. It tastes lovely too (lemon sponge inside).

Nacho says Happy 50th Birthday

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

This is the card I made for my cousin's 50th birthday recently, using Nacho by Stamping Bella and several different patterned papers from a book I got at either The Range or The Works (my memory is starting to fail me in my advancing years, lol).

I used the Tim Holtz giftcard dies to make a holder for my 'gift voucher' which I put on the inside. Nacho is stamped with the aid of a reverse/mirror stamp to get him looking the other way.

Meanwhile, I am making progress with hubby's 50th birthday cake. I have the cake made and iced now, it's just waiting for decoration (that's my task for tomorrow).

Happy Times and cake anxiety

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are all well.

Jut a quick post to show you the card I made for my brother-in-law, using Happy Times and one of the Statements - Fabulous stamps from LOTV.

I'm having a third attempt today at making a special cake for my hubby's 50th birthday - I have bitten off way more than I can chew, so to speak, since I'm not much of a baker. The first attempt was disastrous and the second attempt was edible but I'm not happy with the flavour (plus part of it broke), so I'm hoping for third time lucky today. I'll share a photo with you later in the week if it's presentable, lol. I may end up buying one from Asda :D
