Christmas card #5

Aloha~

For this card, I used Mail Box and little mails die set from Hero Arts. I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment from Simon Says Stamps. The gingham paper is from Memory Box. You may not be able to see the "gold" lines on the paper, which looks like "foiling", although it's not foiling. But I attached the golden ribbon to match those thin gold lines on the background paper. I used snow stencil from Lawn Fawn on the kraft card stock from the same company. All greens and red berry dies are from Sizzix/TH. I used Waffle Flower's postage die for the frame, to match the theme of "mail". 

Inside, I stamped the sentiment from Sunny Studio. 

A week left before Christmas! Are you ready??!! 🎅Love, Eve

Christmas card #4

Aloha~

When you think of shaker cards in winter, you have to make a snow globe, right?! 😀

The dies and clear dorm are from My Favorite Things. The church scene in the snow globe are made from Lawn Fawn's stamp set. I used the snowy scene stencil from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is from Concord & 9th, using the die cut out from Lawn Fawn. Those snow flakes around the sentiment are the stickers from Japan. I used the stitch die from Lil' inker designs on the card base. 

I stamped this sentiment from Sunny Studio stamps inside of this card.

Christmas Card #3

Aloha~

I cross stitched the Santa Claus from Lawn Fawn's website. They have many cross stitch patterns there if you'd like to check them out! Snowflakes dies are from Lawn Fawn and so is the back ground paper. The sentiment is from Birch Press. I love this style. When I use some kind of stitches on the design, I often end up with the stitched background, using My Favorite Things stamp's frame die. 😊 

I wanted a little fun sentiment inside for this card. 

Another beautiful day. Honolulu marathon (nation's 4th largest) was held early this morning, started at 5AM. The Fireworks woke me up. lol Over 35,000 participated. Large number of runners are from US mainland and Japan. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a great weekend! Love, Eve

Christmas card #2!

Aloha~

This is my 2nd Christmas card. I used cookies in a baking sheet from Queen & Co.'s kit, made a shaker piece. I just love making shaker pieces! So fun! Cute Santa Clause is from Unity, colored with Copic. Brown stitched circle dies are from Lil' inker designs. I cut those out from Lawn fawn's "wood grain" papers. The stripe background paper and the sentiment are from the same kit. I used holly dies from Lawn Fawn. I think it turned out be cute. 😊

The "busy" weekend is almost here. Honolulu is becoming more crowded with tourists who will be participating Honolulu Marathon on Sunday. They are expecting over 35,000 runners. Honolulu marathon is the 4th largest, after NY, Chicato and Boston.

Now, Christmas card time!

Happy Holidays!

Now, time to make Christmas cards!

When I received the kit from Queens and Co., I wanted to make some shaker pieces right away. I'm glad I did that, so I can use them, without having extra time in this busy season! I added shaker bits from different companies and packets! Christmas pudding cakes, chocolate chip cookies, Gingerbread men & houses beside the different colored pearls! So fun! I used the frame die from Hero Arts. First I had another design in mind, and I remembered this frame die. I checked the size of the oven area and it matched the shaker piece, so I decided to use this die instead. I love how it turned out! 

Hope you have started a nice week after Thanksgiving day and Black Friday! Kinda strange to have Cyber Monday in December, though... right?! Hope you aren't buried in the snow, either...
