Coffee themed card for July swap

Aloha~

This is the card I made for July swap. First I was inspired by Spellbinder's blog for new products. I often make a card for "Christmas in July", so it was perfect. But then, my "color combos" changed from red/green to "icy blue" after looking at the papers from Whimsy Stamps paper pad. Now, the recipient has a white kitty, I think. So, this is the card I came up with. For some years now, the stamp companies make great paper pads which I can't resist buying. lol... 

This is what did, inside. 

Severe weather continues... please take care of yourself. Stay safe! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve 

Happy Birthday, my BFF!

Aloha~

Last month has been busy and I didn't make any card. Now I'm back. This is for my BFF. I first planned to use, either crab stamps or panda bears stamps, both she loved but I didn't come up with the design quick. She & her husband are coming to Hawaii in September, so I changed to "ocean and shells" as a main design. Hope she will be even more excited to come to Hawaii, after seeing this card! 

I used Honey Bee Stamps Beach Break Cover plate and coordinating stencils for the background beach scene. I used shell stamps and sentiments from Lawn Fawn. I used Lawn Fawn's crunchy leaf ink to stamp, colored in with copics. I added the foam adhesives for sentiments and for some shells to give some dimension.  I added Ranger's stickles on the edge of the waves, then added some pearls to finish it off. 

Inside, I used the sentiment stamp from Pink Fresh Studio, and two drink stamps from Pretty Pink Posh. We used to hang out to drink strawberry daiquiri in college, and they are coming to Hawaii, so I used coconut water drink. I forgot to take the picture inside before writing to her, so I covered them with post it notes. lol ...
