Good Morning everyone.
As i haven't been at home it had to be a fairly quick card for my dad this year for Fathers day. As he enjoys a quality bitter now and then i decided on a beer mug shaped card.
Approx size 5x5.5" I first made a template of a beer mug by using a clipart black and white outline image printed onto white cardstock cut out.
I folded bronze pearlised card in half and placed the template on the front overlapping the fold to give me my shaped base card. I then drew around the beer shape onto acetate, cut out and embossed with an embossing folder to give the impression of a glass beer mug, i adhered this by gluing just where it would be hidden by the foam at the top. I drew around the handle onto thick acetate, cut out and adhered inside the card to the front - my insert hides the glue for the handle.
I then draw around the foam part of the template onto ivory cardstock twice, cut out and dry embossed with a scallop folder to give the feel of foam, i lightly inked it. I then layered them to the top of the glass.
Die cut alpha's to spell cheers cut from the ivory card, mounted onto more of the bronze pearl and more ivory and added to the card with foam tape. Sentiment stamped onto ivory card, cut out and added under the cheers to finish.
Showing it stood up, hopefully you can make out the handle
Items Used:
Woodware sentiment stamp
Alphabet dies
Embossing Folders 'stampin up Moroccan tile' sizzix scallops
Acetate
