One of my sweet nieces recently had a birthday. She was turning 9 years old. Of course, I wanted to make a fun card for her birthday.
She loves her cat, who plays in her room most nights while she sleeps. I came up with the idea to make her a cute cat birthday card. I think the result is a very cute card perfect for my niece.
My niece's cat is black and white. I used the Cricut Alphabet cartridge that was pre-loaded on my Cricut Expression 2
to make the cat and all its layers. I added the baker's twine bow just for a cute girly touch to the card.
For the inside of the card, I used my Creative Memories This and That cartridge(which has apparently already been discontinued…boo!). I cut out both the flowers and the wishes from that cartridge.
The ‘wishes' portion, I used the negative image rather than gluing down each letter. I simply backed it with a solid color paper so the word would pop.
That's it! Easy and cute!
Happy Birthday to my sweet niece!
