My card is a Faux Stepper and features one of today's generous sponsors, Your Next Stamp!

Products used:

Stamps:  Your Next Stamp Candy Cane Cat Stamp Set (cat and sentiment)

Dies:  Your Next Stamp Ric Rac Border Die, Your Next Stamp Snowflake Border Die, Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-ems Nesting Circles

Patterned paper:  Lawn Fawn Snow Day

I coloured the Candy Cane Cat with markers, fussy-cut, and added white accents with a paint pen.  I stamped the sentiment on patterned paper and die-cut in a circle shape.  To make this faux stepper, I followed Mrs. A's tutorial here.  I adhered the patterned paper to the various parts of the card and then adhered the sparkly red Ric Rac Border along the bottom of the front panel.  I die-cut the Snowflake Border in white and cut it apart so I could use the larger snowflakes as stand-alones and adhered 3 of them to the red paper.  To finish the card, I adhered a few red snowflake sequins.  

Thank you to Your Next Stamp for sponsoring the Cat Lovers Hop again this year!
