Hostess Gift Set for a Friend

I was so lucky to be invited to the Calgary Stampin' Up Regionals with my demonstrator Kathy.  I had so much fun that day.  I really wanted to thank her somehow, so I decided to make her a gift set like the one from earlier in the month.  You can see it here.  I also wanted to only use Stampin' Up stuff, which was a bit tough for me...I need to get more ribbon.  I really need to learn how to take better pictures too.  There are so many details that you can't see.

Unfortunately I don't love the card on the right.  But I really like the one on the left, if I make a card like that again I'd to a man's birthday card.
