Wow - I never looked at the cake with the different add ons side by side - what a difference between the two. The flowers look more casual, while the scallops look so formal. Very pretty - so nice to see them together to compare!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards. That WM set is the first one of Claire's that I bought. And, you used my all time favorite birthday sentiment--'can we eat the cake now' because, what's it all about if not the cake, right? Love the colors and patterns in both cards.
ReplyDeleteOh these are lovely! Fun set of colors and both are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the first card so much--such cheery schemes and pairings of patterned paper! And the second card's color scheme is great!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty! Love those yummy cakes!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the cutest cake - love both of your b'day cards Chris - so fun with the flowers and the bunting! Great colors and ribbons too!
ReplyDeletethat sentiment has a lil special place in my heart; i do love things made in the kitchen! these cards are just sublimely put together - from color scheme right down to composition! Thanks for reminding me to pull out this sentiment again!
ReplyDeleteboth of your birthday cards are very pretty . I love the cake stamp, and beautiful yellow gingham.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful birthday cards, love the papers and colours you used!
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with two for one. You make me want cake for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards these are. Isn't it great how two cards, made with the same layout can look so different. You did a great job, and I am so happy you could party along with us for the August Blog Party!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are yummy! Gorgeous layouts too.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are so lovely! The cakes look good enough to eat! :)
ReplyDeleteChris...both of your cards are just so fabulous! I love those cakes, you are quite the baker...Also, thank you for your sweet comments on my blog!
ReplyDeleteThese are so delightful! I love the way you made two takes with a completely different feeling from each other. The first is my favourite - I just love the fresh mix of the gingham and florals - it looks so springy or summery and sooooo happy, you're in a festive mood even before you get to the sentiment!
ReplyDelete2 very delish card! How fab is that?!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Chris! I love the photo of your adorable matching cats, too. Thanks so much for stopping by during the Paper Smooches September Sneak Peeks Hop!
