Candy Cane Kitty Shaker

Hi, everyone!  I'm still trying to beat this unbearable heat by making winter/holiday cards!  Is it hot where you are?


Clear stamps: Newton's Nook - Newton's Candy Cane
Embossing folder: Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow
Other:  Diamond Stickles added to kitty's hat, sequins from my stash

This snowflake die-cut window is the offcut from the snowflake on yesterday's card.  I thought it would be purr-fect for a shaker so that's what I made!  

My card was inspired by the Cute Animals theme at Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge 75.  Who can resist their sweet inspiration graphic?!

  29. Gee, I can remember when a certain friend of mine had never tried a shaker card. She is definitely a pro now! I love the kitty image and the stickles on her hat. If the sentiment is from the same set, I may have to make an investment, because it is super "sweet". Thanks so much for joining the fun at Tuesday Throwdown. Good luck. Debi DT TT
