Katelyn will take it from here to share all the details of her beautiful card tutorial.
Hey Wild Whisper Fans! Katelyn here and I’m happy to be back today sharing with you a project using the brand new Fur Babies Collection. For my project today, I used a variety of the papers from the Fur Babies Collection, Chipboard Arrows from the More Adventures Collection, the Rooted Love Stamp Set and the World's Best Stamp Set to create my World's Best Fur Babies Card. You’ll want to make sure to go grab a cup of your favourite beverage as I walk you through how to recreate my World's Best Fur Babies Card at home.
To start, take out the patterned paper piece that has the variety of different images. From the paper, cut out the 3” x 4” card with words that fade into merlot, the 3” x 3” Fur Babies card and fussy cut the black cat out. With the Fur Babies card cut out, apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the World's Best stamp from the World's Best Stamp Set. Stamp the World's Best Sentiment above the Fur Babies sentiment. Ink the edges of each of the papers and the cat using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Choose two of the border strips from the bottom of the papers. Cut each border strip off. Cut one border strip to 4” and cut the other border strip to 3 3/4”. Ink the edges of the border strips using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Take one of the arrows out of the Arrow chipboard package from the More Adventures Collection.
From the Stripe paper, cut one piece that measures 4” x 5 1/4” and cut a second piece that measures 3 1/4” x 3 1/4”. Flip over the 4” piece of patterned paper to show the ball of yarn. Ink the edges of the patterned papers using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the white/grey word paper, cut a piece that measures 3 3/4” x 5”. Ink the edges of the patterned paper using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
From the lime green paw print paper, cut a piece that measures 3” x 4 3/4”. Ink the edges of the patterned paper using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Using the Xyron Tape Runner, adhere the white/grey patterned paper to the ball of yarn patterned paper. Using Xryon's 3” Sticker Maker, run the lime green paw print paper through. Adhere the lime green paw print paper 1/4” from the left of the white/grey word paper. 
Using Xryon's 3” Sticker Maker, run the grey/magenta word paper through. Adhere the grey/magenta word paper 1/4” from the right of the white/grey word paper. Run the World's Best Fur Babies card through the sticker maker and adhere to the 3 1/4” stripe paper. Run the 3 1/4” stripe paper through the sticker maker and adhere to the middle of the grey/magenta word paper and the lime green paw print paper.
Take the dot stamps out of the Rooted Love Stamp Set. Apply Emboss It Ink to one of the dot stamps and randomly stamp onto the card front. Apply Emboss It Ink to the other dot stamps and randomly stamp onto the card front. Sprinkle Midnight Merlot Embossing Powder overtop of the stamped dot images. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.
Run each of the border strips through the Xyron 1.5” Sticker Maker. Adhere the 4” border strip 1 1/8” from the bottom of the yarn paper. Adhere the 3 3/4” border strip 3/4” from the bottom of the yarn paper.
Run the Arrow chipboard piece through the 1.5” Sticker Maker. Adhere the arrow in the top left corner of the white/grey word paper. Run the fussy cut cat through the 3” sticker maker and adhere the cat in the bottom left hand corner.
To finish the card, adhere two white sequins in the top right hand corner of the card front. Adhere three white sequins in the bottom left hand corner of the card front. 
To finish off the card, cut a cardbase that measures 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”, score at 4 1/4”. Adhere the card front to the cardbase.
Here are a few closeups of the finished World's Best Fur Babies Card.
