MFT You're One Cool Cat Action Wobbler Birthday Card

Today my baby Maia turns 10! I'm still can't believe it... she's double digits! :'( 

She's almost all grown up!

So for today's post I would love to share with you the card I made for her.

This cute cat reminds me of Maia all prim and proper... well most of the time, LOL!

For her birthday we went to see the Secret Life of Pets this weekend (really funny). So I thought this would make the perfect birthday card for her. I love how just by adding a little wobbler behind the cat's head makes this card interactive and so much fun!

I have a complete product list below on what I used to make the card for anyone interested.

I do not have the coordinating dies for the stamp set and I really do not enjoy fussy cutting.
So for anyone interested in how to make the perfect digi die cuts using the

Here is a look at the inside of the card. I had an "Oops moment" happen, but I show you how I solved it in the video below ;)







To see how this card came together check out my video below.

I didn't show it in my video but I did add some clear Wink of Stella just behind the cat for some extra sparkle ;)

Hope I have inspired you today with my Cool Cat Action Wobbler Birthday Card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)

Monster High Cake for Aleina

It has been a few weeks since my last post... crazy busy on this end. The fun never seems to stop... always something on the go! 

Since my last post, I've been working on my projects for the upcoming CEM Magazine issue, done a little traveling, worked at the hospital, done lots of yard work, housework, parented, wifed and made this awesome cake for my God Daughter Aleina that I'm sharing with you today!

Isn't it pretty? Even if it is a little creepy and "gothy", I LOVE how it turned out :) 

 This was a very large cake, standing at around 12 inches tall. The lower tier of the cake was 10 inches wide and was vanilla flavored. The top layer was a 6-inch chocolate cake. The entire cake was covered in a vanilla buttercream icing, covered and detailed with fondant. For those of you that are curious, this cake took approximately 7-8 hours to complete. Might make you understand and appreciate why these kinds of cakes have a higher price tag ;)

I have to be honest I don't have any idea of what this "Monster High" is all about but that is what the Birthday girl wished for! Personally, I think if I was 6 years old, I would be freaked right out by those dolls... boy how times have changed, lol!

I hope you liked my take on a Monster High cake. I know the birthday girl loved it and that was all that mattered! Happy Birthday, Aleina :) 

Happy Crafting :)
