Birthday card

Aloha~ 

This is the card for "my twin" in our coffee card swap group.

I used red and green (both subtle) colors as main but since it's birthday, I used a little more colors on the stencils from Pretty Pink Posh, my Black Friday addition 😊The main coffee cup is from Lil' inker design which is pretty old but I just love the set! The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn but cut it in half so that I could place them where I wanted to, with a little puffy heart sticker from Altenew, placing it in the middle of the sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Two days left in 2025... Please stay safe if you are in the areas with tons of snow. I watched it on the evening news today. Love, Eve 

Coffee card for December swap

Happy Boxing day (in Australia) ! Happy "Second" Christmas day ~ zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag (in Germany) ! 

This card will be the last Coffee card for this year. 

I'd been wanting to use these beautiful papers from Simple Stories for a year. Yes I bought it last Christmas, waiting for the perfect timing to use them! But because of the beautiful designs, I didn't have to do more on them. It even comes with the sentiment on some designs. I just used the 3D adhesives underneath of the main panel, and attached the pretty silver ribbon. 

The card turned out to be pretty in my opinion, thanks to those beautiful papers but wanted to do a little more, so I did, inside of the card. I forgot to take the picture before writing the message on it to the recipient, so I had to hide it to take the picture. But after taking the picture, I liked the idea of placing that beautiful paper which I used on the front this way, and attached the post it note with the message... afterthought. ...  

I used this snow man stamp I love, from Echo park. It's my new addition! And, I happened to have a very small coffee cup from the sticker sheet from Japan, so I attached it! I colored the holly berries on his hat and draw a little heart on him.  

Hope you all had a joyous Christmas, with friends and families. 

Here is the picture of my attire today. 😉 He is very tired and deserve this! 😁

Mahalo for stopping by my blog today. There is only a week left for welcoming the year of 2026! Are you ready?? Love, Eve

Christmas card #6

Aloha~

Well, well. This is one of the most "labor intensive" card I have ever made, mainly because of all those tiny pieces to adhere first, then, put all buildings, trees, lamp posts in the right places on 3D background! It took a long time to finish it. I made this card for my godmother.

I used Honey Bee stamps die set, Concord & 9th for the 3D card base, Simon Says stamps for the sentiment and again, Concord & 9th for the star. I always loved the sentiment with "PEACE" in it. I even bought a t-shirt with PEACE in front at Old Navy yesterday. 😊

The back of this 3D card, I stamped Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year in Hawaiian, on the die cut out and attached them. It's a red rubber wood stamp from the local company (Stampettes of Hawaii).

I'm hearing that the temperature bounced back to normal this time of the year, from extremely cold most of the places across US. We had a wet & gloomy weather for like 10 days?and everyone was complaining! But the sun is shining today!! 🌞Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Merry Christmas! 🎄Love, Eve

Christmas card #5 2025

 Aloha~

This is my 5th Christmas card. 

I used the same Tim Holtz die set with my card #4, but with different elements and design. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a busy but great weekend! Oh, in those places with lots of snow, please drive safe! Love, Eve

Christmas card #4 2025

Aloha~

This is the forth Christmas card I have made. 

I used Waffle Flowers' background panel die, placed over the glitter paper so those shines peek through. I used TH's dies to make a scene. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

I finished Christmas shopping today. Nearby mall was crowded! Now, time to wrap them and mail out!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Happy holidays! Love, Eve

Christmas Card #3, 2025

Happy Aloha Friday! 🌴

Are you ready for the Christmas shopping, or Christmas cards making? 😄

This is the third Christmas card I made this year. 

I heat embossed with the sparkling white embossing powder to make a background, using Taylored Expressions background stamp. It's very hard to see in the photo but it looks that the surfaces of the stamped images are not smooth because of those tiny glitters inside of the white embossing powder. You can see the sparkling in person, though. I used Lawn Fawn's sparkle card stock, which I love, for underneath of the red stamped card stock and underneath of the sentiment. Both sentiments are from CZ Designs/SSS. 

I saw on the news that it's snowing a lot, and it's really cold, in east coast. Drive carefully and stay safe! If you can, maybe it's better to stay home and make cards! 😃Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a nice weekend! Love, Eve

Christmas card #1 & #2 2025

🎜It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas🎝

Happy Holidays!🎄

So, I bought this cute stamp set from Gina K design, a year ago but never had used it. All the sudden, I got the urge to use these stamps with Waffle flowers postage frame die, so I did. Aren't they so sweet? They are such a perfect size for these postage frame dies. 

The sentiment on both cards is from CZ Design/Simon Days Stamps.

Well, December is here... the busiest time of the year. Every year, I regret that I didn't start making the Christmas cards from January. lol...😅

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I saw on the news that some of you had tons of snow, and some are expecting it tomorrow. ❆❆❆ Drive & stay safe! Love, Eve
