Hoppy Birthday x 2

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Marlease aka Lease.....congrats, Marlease!!  I loved this pair of guy cards she created with a whiskey set....I didn't have any whiskey stamps, so I created two cards with the 'Here's To You' stamp set and 'Frosty Beer Mug' Die-namics from MFT.  The first card is fairly simple and flat for mailing.  The kraft card base was stenciled with the Small Brick Wall Stencil, plus the edges of the card were sponged.  The beer mug was cut from white vellum, the beer insert was copper metallic and the foam was cut from Shimmery White.  The pieces of the beer mug were turned into stickers with my Xyron Sticker Maker.  The sentiment was placed in my MISTI and stamped several times to make sure the ink coverage was complete.

The 2nd card will not be mailed, so I used the mug die to cut a foam sheet then adhered the layers to it. Instead of stenciling the whole card, a small piece of ivory cardstock was stenciled, cut out with the Pierced Rectangles Dies from Divinity Designs LLC, and the beer is sitting on a small navy blue panel cut with the Sentiment Strips Dies.  The edges of the card were sponged to give some extra dimension. The MISTI was used with navy ink for stamping the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
