Hungry caterpillar card?

My youngest nephew turned 1 late last month and being the super dooper Aunty Rosie, I didn't make him an amazing card or any card at all. How terrible is that when I make cards for a living!! In my defence, I was busy making the little guy a hungry caterpillar #1 birthday cake, teaching classes and a bundle of other things. Not 100% pleased with my efforts re the cake (especially the buttercream icing) but happy with my first attempt at fondant.

Said cake



To make up for my tardy card efforts, I made him a hungry caterpillar label to go in a pocket page where my sister can keep all his cards, a copy of his invite etc. I also whipped up a super simple postcard to include in the pocket explaining why there was no birthday card for his loving aunty and family.


My pocket card (featuring shaving foam technique)


Pocket card in the pocket for birthday cards etc.


My sister put together stunning table decorations etc. and I just have to share.


A better view of the labels for the food etc.
