Happy Birthday!

Happy First Day of Spring! 💮

I'm sending this card to a birthday lady in my coffee card swap group. 

I recently purchased the newly released stencil & die set from Waffle flower. This cupcake looked so yummy and wanted to use it right away. 😊I made a dozen die cuts with the cupcake images in different color combinations, and from there, I started to make a card. I often use color yellow for the cards I make for April. Her birthday is in the beginning of April. Here is the card I made.

I wanted to include a special sticker sheet and didn't wanna fold it, so I made a Slimline card. It fitted perfectly with my card. 

Inside, I stamped a sentiment stamp from MFT, and added extras, using the stamps from Honey Bee stamps, the Greetery and Stampendous!

How's the first day of Spring look like in your area? 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Weekend is almost here! Love, Eve 

Coffee card for March swap

Aloha~

I received these layering dies (scallop and stitched) from Poppy stamps as a freebie during Black Friday sale last year, and had been wanting to use them. The glitter paper is from Lawn Fawn. I used Newton's Nook Designs mug cup stencil, using white ink. Those little mug cups are from Simon Says Stamps. Since St. Patrick's day is near, I added those clovers, from Pretty Pink Posh. I usually place some kind of sentiment on the front but for this one, I decided not to. 

Inside, I used the sentiment from Lil' inker designs.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a relaxed weekend. It's always something going on here in Honolulu and feels like no relaxing day, ever. lol 😅

Are you ready for wearing green tomorrow?! 💚 Love, Eve

Happy St. Patrick's Day! #2

Aloha~

Here is my 2nd St. Patty's day card (for my godmother). I used the same Waffle Flower's Paw dies for this one, but in orange cat color, remembering her first kitty from over 40 years ago. But orange kitties have been my fav., too. ever since I was a kid. And it was rather fun to make this card cuz of it! 

The sentiment & the background paper are from Lawn Fawn and the 4 leaf clover is from Concord & 9th, watercoloring. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Hope you are having a nice Sunday, despite of 1 hour less sleep in US this morning... Love, Eve

Happy St. Patrick's Day! #1

Aloha~

I recently purchased this paw dies from Waffle Flower, and the recipient has 2 kitties, so I thought I would use these dies, and in her kitties' colors. I even asked her before die cutting papers what colors their paws were. lol 

The 4 leaf clover is from Lawn Fawn. I used the glitter paper underneath of the light green "marbled?" background paper from Lawn Fawn. I used Waffle Flower background die to cut the panel so that you can see the glitter through the panel, the same glitter paper I used for the 4 leaf clover the paws hold.

It's been a stressful time and uncertainty in the world, and this recipient told me that my Valentine's day card made her smile last month, so I decided to send this "lucky" card to make  her feel a little better this month, too. 

Spring is just around the corner. It seems like severe weather are here to stay, though. ... stay safe.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Love, Eve

Happy Birthday ~ for Coffee/Tea card swap group

Aloha~

This is the first time I use these tea pots die set with coloring stencil from The Greetery. The tea cup is from Crafter's Companion, from many years ago. I hardly used it before, like once somewhere. .... I used the mini slim envelope edge die from Taylored Expressions, trimmed to make it into a kind of table cloth. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. Cute background paper is from TPC Studio which I kept for a very, very long time. lol Oh I stamped "steam" from the tea cup, which is from one of Lawn Fawn's stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment inside from Pink and Main. 

Hope the recipient will like it! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Spring is just around the corner for many! Take care. Love, Eve

Coffee card ~ February, 2025

Aloha,

This is for the Coffee themed card swap. I can make Tea themed and Hot Cocoa themed cards for this group. Since I've been hearing the frigid temperature across US mainland, I decided to make a Hot Cocoa card. 

I use mug cup dies from The Greetery. Those smiley faces are from one of Lawn Fawn's stamp set. I'm not sure whether any of you are Lawn Fawn's fans but I am, ever since they opened the business. And they do make these cute face expression stamps in many of their stamp sets, so I chose the right size ones for these mug cups. On the lower part of these mug cups, I found this pink gingham washi tapes in my washi tapes stash and used it. The color matched perfectly! The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. I attached it with 3D foam tape, to be able to attach the pink ribbon underneath of the sentiment. I used Newton's Nook Designs' stencils for the background. 

Inside, I used 2 sentiment stamps from My Favorite Things.

Unfortunately we couldn't really enjoy cooler weather this "winter" here in Honolulu. First time, not being able to wear long sleeves to go to sleep at night...even the lowest temperature this week became above 70F...we are still in February...opposite from US mainland... 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hear that flu is going around in US mainland. Keep warm, stay safe! Love, Eve 

   

Happy Valentine's Day! #7

Aloha, it's me again! This is the last Valentine's day card I made this year.

I made this for my BFF. I used Lawn Fawn's hearts dies, both background papers and the twine. I used my newest addition of Vertical sentiment stamps from Pretty Pink Posh. I love this vertical sentiments and words set! I first bought Halloween one from the company, and loved it, so I decided to purchase this set, for something different. I also heat embossed in white EP. 

Inside, I had these cut outs from, I think, Doodlebugs but probably I got them in a kit from SSS, IF I'm not mistaken. I had these and hadn't used them, so time to use them!! You understand how I felt, finding things from our old stash!😄 I facetime with her often, so not much to write on the cards, not like in our 80s and 90s. Just wrote her name and my name 😊
 

Well, Mahalo for visiting my blog today, with 3 cards! 

I still hear about the severe weather some parts of US mainland (if you are in 48 states). Please stay safe and stay warm! Next card should be a birthday card which I almost finished! 

Love, Eve
