Birthday Cards

I have a couple of friends who have birthdays in the next week so amoungst other things I've been making their cards today. I wanted to make something simple and elegant and think I have managed that. Here is the first card:

And the second:

Both cards have a piece of delicate lace behind the coloured ribbon but it not showing that well in the photos.

I am going to go away for a break tomorrow for about 10 days so I won't be around much but I am taking my computer so I may be able to post a few times.

Hope everyone has a good start to April and I'll be back soon.
