Today I'm sharing another festive card, and it's a shaker card, my favourite! I stamped an adorable kitty from Your Next Stamp called Purrrfect Day. The kitty reminds me so much of my Honeydew - he's a big boy at 20 lb! The "visions of sugar plums" thought bubble is part of an older wood-mounted Stampendous stamp called Sugar Plum Fluffles, and I thought it went perfectly with this snoozing kitty on Christmas Eve. I coloured both images with watercolour markers and then fussy-cut. The epoxy circle kitten embellishment was made by me! See this post for how I made it.
Here are the other items used:
- Dies: Frame (Nellie's Multiframe Rectangles, Top Dog Dies Pocket Page Halloween), stitching (My Favourite Things Basic Stitch Lines)
- Sentiment stamp: Newton's Nook Newton's Curious Christmas
- Glitter cardstock: Recollections
- Patterned paper: Simple Stories, Studio 18
- Ribbon: DL.ART Christmas Red
- Accents: Stars, sequins, and pearl snowflakes from my stash
I was inspired by the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches #360:
I was inspired by the colours at Your Next Stamp #43:
I was inspired by the bingo challenge at Catch the Bug Christmas in July Day 4 (I used ribbon, sparkly, stripes) and the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at Share Joy (I went with shaker, red, glitter):
Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!

Aaaw! Looks like kitty had one too many sugar plums! Our bats are having a gala time. They are protected so there's nothing we can do. They are kinda cute and harmless ... and they do a great job keeping the pesky mosquitos at bay. Can't have everything, right?
