I was making a birthday card for a guy at work and saw an ad for a saw on TV... that became the inspiration for this card. (The saw cuts through ceramics.... hence the bottomless cup of coffee). He and his wife just had a baby (family addition reference) and he loves International Harvester cars/trucks hence the logo on the cup.
The front is simple and has a window cut through to the inside of the card.
On the back of the card I made a "gift certificate" with an enlarged coffee pot with the offer for free coffee from the break room (it is free anyway:-) and the expiration date is the end date of our project (my strange sense of humor).
There is no stamping on the card. I used computer graphics. I doubled the layers for the coffee cup and the coffee pot. The top coffee pot is on dimensionals. My best friend *rdm* helped me design the puddle of coffee. Thanks.
I used a whole sheet of paper so there would be room for the inside design and room to sign the card.
