All For Friends - Cake Birthday Cards

Morning all :)

May is a busy month for making cards! A special customer of mine is celebrating her birthday today and another celebrated just over a week ago.

I decided to make both cards using the Level 2 Hostess Stamp Set from the Mini Catalogue called All For Friends teamed up with the Level 3 Hostess Stamp Set from the main Idea Book & Catalogue called Queue Up. I enjoyed experimenting with these two Hostess Stamp Sets that I decided to create a couple of the same card in different colour combos.

For obvious reasons, I couldn't upload this card till both birthdays had past, so here's the cards below:

The first card made for a friend the other week.
