This one is for all my cat lover friends out there. Today Two of my friends will be the recipients of this special cat-shaped card. RV, Happy Birthday, dear friend! I hope his royal highness approves of this card. LF, I never got a chance to thank you for making convention 2013 so special. I came to convention alone and I left with so many friends. I hope your card arrives today!
This cat card wouldn’t be complete without the Cool Kid Cat on the inside. To create the white layer, just cut the next size framelit down and cut off the corners just like in step 3. I hope all my feline lover friends like this card. Find out the supplies you’ll need to make this card and where to get them HERE!
