BEER Birthday Card

[papasue]

Sometimes you just need something a little different. I tried to think of what some folks want for a birthday party and lots of times it includes Beer. Hence this card.

I started out doing the Beer glass in Inkscape and got all the pieces separated and colored and imported into SCAL. I looked at all the pieces that would have to be cut in different colors and then glued and "self I said, you don't want to get into that". It was a day when no piece of paper would stick to the mat! I'd tried the lettering and after three tries just gave up. Then tried to cut the frame, same result and beside messed up the size, twice. Been there?

So I ended up not using SCAL at all for the finished product.

So I just printed the beer mug out on card stock, cut the balloons with a hole punch, did all the lettering in Elements. But I thought I'd share anyway. Since it is a good idea and could be done with Inkscape and SCAL if you are a masochist.


Here's the link to the mug in case you want to try it.

OMG who "bumped" this up? I'd totally forgotten it, maybe for good reason huh?

Perhaps I'll try it again since I've learned a bit since 2008

Thanks for the poke
