Mug Card using the new Looks Like Spring set. The
tea bag is "wrapped" in a piece of Apricot CS. The poem reads "On Saturday at half past three, brew yourself this cup of tea. I'll think of you, you'll think of me. We'll keep each other company."

There is no specific pattern for this card, but I'll give the instructions here.
1. Cut cardstock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". Fold in half.
2. Stamp front of card as desired.
3. Cut folded card to 4 1/4" X 4 1/4".
4. Use the extra piece to create a handle. Trim a 3 1/2" piece and then trim that down into a half inch handle. I use a corner rounder on the handle and cup to make it look slightly curved.
5. Use a small plate or bowl to trim a curve into the front of the card. I did this with the first card I made and then created a pattern for this step from that.
6. Glue the handle to rithe right side of the back panel. Use sticky strips to close the bottom and right side of the mug.
7. Finish card as desired and insert tea bag.
