Lucky (or unlucky) for me, my kids birthdays are two days apart, Jayda on the 8th Augast & Jacob on the10 th. We decided not to have parties this year, which meant we could spend a little more on their presents, but of couse I'll still make them a cake & birthday card. For some reason Jayda chose to have a triple orange cake if you could imagine that, so I gave it a go. Have only made cup cakes for Jacob to take to school so far, but if his birthday cake turns out interesting I'll give you a peek.

Jayda's 11th Birthday Card
(I spent most of my time on the cake, so this was made the night before her birthday). |

Jacobs 8th Birthday Card.
(This was my first attempt at a magic card, & again made the day before his b'day) |

| As you pull the tab up, you can see the robot in colour. |
 |
| I think next time I make one of these cards, I'll plan my measurements a bit better. I only seem to learn from making misstakes. |

It a great card to give & a fun card to receive, but a little tricky to make for the first time. But as I always say "practice helps"& Good Luck!
