I have a lot of tea cup stamps, but not one mug stamp. So I made this CAS card using my Cricut to create the mug. I was so glad I found the image in my cartridges since I felt a mug would be more suitable for the masculine look I wanted. I sponged the Distress Ink background, adhered the mug and steam (love the steam!), and stamped the sentiment. Bam! It was done.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great masculine get well card Sheila! I agree and think that a mug worked better for that masculine feel you were going for. So glad you found a mug on a Cricut cart, good for you for rocking your Cricut! Love the "shadow" on the background I hope your friend is doing well soon. Hugs, Brenda
