Lisa, I can't tell you how many times I have viewed your videos for inspiration! Congrats on being chosen as the featured stamper! I noticed two beer themed cards that would be great for my masculine cards. 7 Handmade Birthday Cards to Make in 5 Minutes by lisacurcio2001 at Splitcoaststampers
Since I didn't have that particular stamp, I created my own mug of beer with a rectangle of white and half an oval frame. I rounded the corners of the mug as well as strips of paint chips for the "beer". I distressed a cloud and several sizes of circles for the foam with the wild honey ink. I glued the mug of beer on an embossed background leaving enough room for the word "cheers". The mat then went on a top fold base of cream card stock. I know a few people who will appreciate this card!

So fun! Love that giant beer and the texture. If I case another one, I may do a beer card too. Fun, fun, fun!

So fun and WOW! on creating your own frothy beer mug. Great improvising. Love the circle bg -- looks like more bubbly. Cheers to this gem and to your recipient. Great card.

Very clever, Karen - I am loving all your details. Takes me back decades, when it was necessary to create our own embellishments for scrapbooking. I love that today we have dies that makes this easier - but one still needs creative vision to achieve the desired result. I applaud you for this magnificent stein!
