… and doubly happy I had this darling little Casual Friday mug die to play with! It's so simple to make it just the right size, and a few embossing powders made them look a bit like pewter! I just swiped, sprinkled, and melted them one at a time.
I'm now inspired to have cocoa - chocolate peppermint will do nicely! Come have a cup with me, then make a card for Inspired By #49! We'll be so happy if you do!
I'm also sending this one over to the Coffee Lovers … I think cocoa is allowed! amy will like it, don't you think?

Wow, Michele, another fabulous card. I like how you added the embossing. It adds a wonderful realism to your mugs. Clever you, adding the stripes the way you did. I also like how that die cut is at an angle. Sure adds more visual interest. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese look so REAL....you do such amazing work! I think the world would be a much sadder place without peppermint, too. Luckily, DH doesn't like it, that means MORE for me!
