Hot Chocolate Mug Shape Card

Created this Hot Chocolate Mug Shaped Card using the
Gypsy Wanderings Cricut cartridge that is loaded on the
Gypsy device if you purchase the Gypsy device. I like hot
chocolate especially with mini marshmallows.

Started out using Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge mug
image but did not like the way it welded together.

Embossed the yellow cardstock with Cuttlebug Simply
Charmed embossing folder that has HoneyBees on it.
Added brown cardstock for hot chocolate & 2 foam
adhesives (used 2 to represent Warm & Cozy words)
for the marshmallow effect. Used Tim Holtz walnut stain
Distress Ink on the mug. Stamped the inside sentiment
using Mirror Image rubber stamp since I wanted the mug
handle to be on same side as the card. I knew the words
would be reversed also so I stamped lightly and used a
Sharpie to write the words 'Warm & Cozy.'

I'm thinking I'll put the card in my hubby's backpack (he
takes a backpack to work with his laptop in it) for him as
a just because card.
