Birthday cards

So I'm learning to love the Stamp of Approval box.  The Bring on the Cake stamp and die set is pretty cool.  I made a "try it out" card, then kind of the same card but with a layer or two added.  What do you think?

Same basic card, but with the ink colors changed around a little on the circle stamps and a few small embellishments on the cake.  It'll do in a pinch, I think.

Then I left that altogether and got my latest Art Impressions purchase- the Cat Stackers set.  Love all the kitties!  And I know a crazy cat lady who has a birthday coming up lol.  Here's that card:

I really wish I could get my layers straight on my cards.  I got the colored layer on the paper layer, but then boofed putting that on the card itself.  Sigh.  I still like it.

Ah well.
