I owe you guys a HUGE thank you!I appreciate the feedback and comments and REALLY appreciate
the ideas and suggestions.Thank
you!I have added a search option
on the side left toolbar in case you want to search my blog.I’m actually quite excited about this
as if you’re looking for a punch or a certain stamp set, type it in and
VOILA!It’s a great little tool,
thanks Chriss for the suggestion.
One other request was “manly” cards.So I started creating my project for my
Simply Stamping class today (a manly card as well) and loved it so continued on
to make this card!I have to say
I’m super excited about it!
Do you see it?Can you see that the foam of the beer is really the cupcake icing from
the thank you cupcake stamp????How fun is that!?!?I’m so
very excited!Anyhow, I’m also
excited about the glass (looks way better in person.I sponged the top of the card with
Whisper White to look like the foam bubbles and then the bottom of the cup is
sponged in More Mustard to offer depth and shadows.I used a Transparent envelope and cut it to fit the card
front (and use the seam that already exists) to make it look like glass!I hope you like my first attempt here
at some man cards!
Here is the recipe:
Transparent Envelope
More Mustard - 6 x 4 1/4 scored at 3
Very Vanilla
More Mustard Marker
More Mustard Ink and Sponge
Whisper White Ink and Sponge
Label, 1 inch punch, 1 1/4 inch circle punch
Earth Elements Brads
Paper Piercer
Big Cupcake Stamp (the birthday thank you....forget the name of it:)
Cheers to You Stamp Set
Crystal Effects
Thank you so much for stopping by!Thanks also to those that have placed clearance rack
orders!I think you bought out all
the Maine Blueberry DSP as it is now sold out!Oh well, wasn’t meant to be.
I LOVE this card! I found it on Stampin' Connection and I was so excited when I found it on your blog and found your video! I'm so excited!
Just one question - when you sponged the edges of the glass and the Whisper White at the top to look like foam, did you do that on the card stock or on the clear envelope?
Wonderfully creative card! It is always great when there are multiple uses for stamps and justifies buying more. This would also be a good stamp to use as cola on a card or page for teens or as Irish coffee for adults.
This is SOOOOO darn cute Heather!!!
I can't wait to make one for my Dad as he is a beer drinker and also likes a nice chilled in the freezer frosted mug to go with it!!
Thanks for always sharing your AMAZING talent!!
Wow Heather, you must be the Fairy Godmother of Cardmaking...ask it shall be granted. lol.
I love this card, especially the crystal effects for the icing up of the glass. I don't have the Cupcake Stamp, but I am sure that I can improvise, after all it almost looks like a big fluffy cloud. Great job. Kuddo's to you. Like I have said before...Cardmaker of the Year!
OMG. You never cease to amaze me with your talents and creativity. That is what keeps me coming back to your blog everyday. I love this beer card and perfect timing since my husbands birthday is this Friday.
Absolutely love the fresh look of your blog. THe cheap talk/ good friend stamp sets are my favorites in the IBC. Keep up the great work.
