Birthday Card Using CTMH Best Friends Furever

Hello Friends!  I hope everyone is doing well or at least staying safe.  It is hot here in Southern CA and supposed to get hotter.  

 I created this card yesterday; but I am not happy with it.  Have you ever had an image in your mind that turns out completely different than you planned?  That is what happened to me yesterday.  I needed to make a birthday card for a cat lover and thought I had it all figured out; but the end results were not what I planned.  I just hope the person likes the card, even if I don't.  LOL!  

 I created it by following a color challenge from my CTMH upline.  On top of that, I rarely do color challenges and I realized, after I was finished, that it probably isn't correct; because there are a couple extra colors on the DP.   I was so focused on using the colors in the bingo that I failed to pay attention to that small detail.  LOL!

 I love this paper; but I get frustrated because I hate to cover it up.  LOL!  I am always slow in using my papers that I buy; so I apologize that this is already retired.  

 For Heart 2 Heart Challenge - My favorite crafting tool is my Electric Gemini Jr. and the mini as well.  I love using thin cuts/dies.

Friend Slimline Card With CTMH Winged Wishes Stamp and Thin Cuts

Hello Friends!  How are you?  I think everyone must be busy outside this summer; because I don't see many people doing challenges right now.  It is too hot here and with the threat of COVID-19; I have been staying in and staying home most of the time.  I have taken two short walks this week, with a mask.  

 I created this slimline card for my good friend Betty.  I thought she would enjoy this type of card.  It was a lot of fun to make.  Even though I do enjoy using all of these slimline dies; you can make then by just cutting paper to fit your card and using other thin cuts/dies that you have on hand.  There is even a Slimline Facebook group; which I joined recently.  I love seeing what everyone is creating.  

 I love CTMH Winged Wishes Stamp and Thin Cuts Z3734; and didn't want to create your normal card with it.  There are so many new and fabulous CTMH Stamp and Thin Cuts.  I love creating with them; as I am not good at fussy cutting at all.  LOL!
