Birthday Cards

I have a couple of friends (male and female) who have birthdays in January.  The first card uses a stamp set by AALL & Create (Birthday Dee).  I used a new and never before die to trim the stamped image (Pinkfresh Studio Rounded and Braided Die Set).  The patterned striped paper is by Pink & Main.  This one has been mailed and received by my sweet friend.  I am linking it up at these fun challenges:






My second card is for a young male friend and I struggled coming up with something for him.  Everything I picked up in my stash seemed too feminine.  I finally settled on this large sentiment stamp by Darkroom Door (Eat More Cake) which I heat embossed with orange powder on yellow cardstock.  
I'm showing the inside of the card which carried out the "birthday cake" theme more.  I hope my young friend likes his card to be mailed soon.  I'm linking this card up at a brand new challenge (yay for new challenges to help us create).  The new challenge is:


Thanks for dropping by.  We have been snowed and iced in since Monday night.  Luckily we had lots of groceries and our power has stayed on!  It has been nice having the family home and we have crafted, worked on jigsaw puzzles, read good books, and watched lots of Hulu and Netflix.   We've also baked cookies and been in the kitchen way too much...wink.   The sun is out today though so I think everyone will be back to work tomorrow.
