Mini cards- for kid birthdays

I love it when a card comes together in a time of need. :) My kids have the joy of going to many kid parties and I used to make full size cards. Awhile ago I was talking to another crafter and she said that she makes small card for kids parties. My thought was what a good idea...the kids don't care about the cards they normally want the toys. :) So, I have been doing more small cards for the kids gifts.

Well, today I was scrambling to get the gift together and I realized that I had run out of cards and not made time to make more. I jump into my craft room and found the nicely stamped and glittered lion and green square. I cut the paper for the card and done!

I was so glad that I had envelope still made :) I used my Cricut to make them a long time ago when I started making the small cards. 

Here is a regular sized card and the small size for kids parties.

Princess Party

My daughter and her friend had a princess party at one of the jump places. She wanted a Cinderella Carriage. To make this cake I used the Wilton- Sport Ball Pan. I took creative liberty on this and made it pink.

Some issues I had with this one... I tried to make the wheels and driver seats out of royal icing and they broke. I will need to explore using Royal icing more. :) Then I tried to make it out of white chocolate and that broke. last minute I went with the pip cleaners! 

I added the girls initials on the door for some a little fun touches. :)

The second cake my daughter didn't care what it was as long at it stayed in the princess theme! I love the idea of getting to do whatever I want...I just wish I had more time to plan for it. Instead I put icing to cake and came up with this:

Three layers: Two 10 inch and one 6 inch. Then I got a plastic crown to put on the top.... 

The girls loved the cakes and that is all that matters! :)
