I used the Stampin’ Up! Nine Lives stamp set and Cat Punch to create a fun card to share with you today.  I did a video tutorial for making this card on my Facebook page yesterday.  I’ve also uploaded it to my YouTube Channel so you can view it there too!  I should warn you…I had a few bloopers in the video, so be ready to laugh at my mistakes.  We nearly had a blue cat!  😉

My card design was inspired by CAS This Sketch #315.

I started by adhering a panel of How Sweet It Is DSP to a panel of Melon Mambo card stock with SNAIL.  I adhered a wide band of How Sweet It is DSP to a wide bade of Melon Mambo card stock and then to the larger DSP panel with SNAIL.  I adhered the layered panels to a Coastal Cabana card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the circle image from the Swirly Frames photopolymer stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock and then cut around it with the largest Layering Circles Framelits Die.  I stamped the sentiment from the Nine Lives photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on the die cut circle, sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.  I adhered the circle to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the cat images from the Nine Lives stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento and Gray Granite inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I punched the cat image out with the Cat Punch and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I punched a heart from Melon Mambo card stock with the Dog Builder Punch and adhered it with a Glue Dot and then added three silver pearls from the Metallic Pearls pack to finish the card front.

I stamped the cat and yarn images from the Nine Lives stamp set in in Tuxedo Black Memento, Gray Granite and Coastal Cabana inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
