Happy Valentine's Day!

Aloha~

This is the Valentine's/Galentine's day card I'm sending to my best friend from college. 

I used Pretty Pink Posh hearts stencil, using Tonic Studio's Glimmer paste. I "fell in love again" with The Greetery's new release; mug cup and the sweater. I'd been wanting to find "my style" of sweater and this was it! Most companies have mug cup dies but this is the first time I saw the "heart shaped" one! This die set includes "marshmallows" so I made it to be a "hot chocolate" which we both love! The sentiment is from MFT Stamps and the stitching die is also from MFT Stamps. I heat embossed the sentiment. After I adhered everything, I noticed more open spaces in background, so I found different shapes of hearts in my die cut stash, so I attached those. Oh, for the sweater, I used the cable knit pattern paper from MFT Stamps, and white small polka dots paper from Lawn Fawn for the mug cup. 

I was making another card but hard time, finishing it, so I started this card, and finished it fast. lol Sometimes that happens. 

Have a nice week! Love, Eve 

Coffee card "EXTRA"

 Aloha~

This is an "extra" card to go with my "care" package. A Coffee card swap group member suffered a big damage to her new home from Hurricane which hit her "new" place directly. I'd been thinking about her ever since, and some months later, she posted a picture of her new kitchen. So I'm sending her some coffee from Honolulu! I made this card, to enclose inside of the package. At first, I didn't really think but then, when I was going through my "stash", I found this HM image, already stamped on watercolor card stock. When I buy a new stamp, esp. if it's a large design like this, I usually stamp a couple times for the future use, so that I don't have to clean the stamp each time. And it hit me, this is perfect! I'm sending 2 bags of coffee from Honolulu! And, it came to my mind, "ENJOY" as a sentiment to use, so I browsed my sentiment collection and found this "ENJOY!" from Honey Bee stamp set. Perfect! I want her to enjoy these coffee! 

Inside, I stamped the sentiment from old company, Lil'Inker Design. I thought this sentiment was also perfect for this "care" package! 

The box I used to ship is from Kauai Coffee company. In November, I ordered some coffee from them, online cuz I couldn't get the flavors I wanted, on Oahu, only on the island of Kauai, and perfect fit for my gift! 

I'm glad she is back with us. 😊

Hope you are having a nice week! It will be a short week 😉

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

 

Coffee card January 2023 swap!

Happy New Year! A little late for the greeting but it's my first post in 2023! 

I used my newly purchased stamp sets, both from Gina K Designs! Most of you know that I hate cold weather, and I tend to make cards which doesn't have "winter" theme much...But I really liked these sets, and after coloring, I like them even more! 😍

I did some ink blending for background scene. I splattered white watercolor paint to make a snowy scene in the end. For the front, it's hard to tell but I found this shiny white paper in my stash, to die cut the snow drifts, using Honey Bee Stamps die. I stamped snowmen and mug cup all in black first, but after placing them on the scene, I didn't like it, and changed the color to light grey to stamp snowmen and brown to stamp mug cups, and I love how they turned out, after coloring with Copics. I decided to make the winter scene card because the recipient lives in Florida. We don't see this scenery in our daily lives.😄

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Hope you are having a relaxing long weekend! In some areas, I watched on the news about horrible weather... Stay safe!  Love, Eve
