I'm "die-ing" because this card took me FOREVER to make. It's that "happy" die cut. I respect all of you who use intricate die cuts regularly. I simply don't have the patience for them.
The dies I used for this card are the Little Yellow Bicycle "happy" die, Darice Embossing Essentials Oval dies, and Simon Says Stamp stitched circles dies and Cottage Cutz stitched rectangles dies.
I cut the CS for the glass to 4.25" x 3", rounded the corners and sponged a little shadow on the bottom of the glass. Then I used my smallest and third to smallest oval dies to cut the handle and sponged a shadow on the bottom and inside of the handle.
I cut the beer in the glass in strips of 3.75" x .75", rounded the corners and sponged with Distress scattered straw. Then I die cut the smallest and next to smallest stitched circle dies five times from white CS and sponged them with scattered straw. Assembled and added some reflection with white gel pen. The BG panel is die cut from DP from the "Against the Grain" paper pack from the Paper Studio. I wanted a dark wood panel look for the BG to give my card a pub feel.
Because I'm still needing masculine birthday cards...this one is going to my boss.

Love your beer mug with the circular cuts for bubbles. I am with you on the frustration of attaching those delicate die cuts but yours turned out great and I know your boss will love it.

A card after my own heart...a similar design has been buzzy around in my head to use for a masculine member of my family who all love their ales and beers...could even be root beer, which I have a few of those too! Wonderful array and choice of die-cuts to accomplish your finished design...LOVE it!
