Coffee card for August card swap

Aloha~

It's been really hot here. So, that thinking led me to make this card! I've been drinking Iced Coffee and Iced Tea a lot cuz it's been HOT! I used Lil' Inker's coffee/tea stamps with ice cubes and straws. I used glossy accent for the straws. I had "lemon slices" embellishment, so I cut it in half, attached them in the tea cup. I used the Whimsy stamps Ripple's Die. This die really need a pressure to cut it, and still I need to snip some parts... but love the design! I used Hero Arts water ripple's stamp in the center. I used Sunny studio's alphabet dies for spelling "HOT", and used Concord & 9th's "summer" stamp. I finished off with a couple of sequins to give a bit of shimmer on the front.

Inside, I wrote, "Iced Coffee?? Iced Tea??"

Birthday card for Coffee card swap group #3

Aloha~ Happy MONDAY! ...or?! 😁

I mainly used Lawn Fawn's stamps for this card. The street stencil is from Pretty Pink Posh. I colored them with Copic markers. The stitch frame dies are MFT stamp's. It's pretty much self explanatory 😊

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a great week, everyone! Hugs, Eve

Birthday Card for Coffee Card swap group #2

Aloha~

This is the 2nd birthday card which I made for this group, with my newest HM addition! Love this stamp! I colored them with Copic markers. It's hard to tell on the picture, but I used Wink of Stella on the "steam" images. I used Altenew die for the sentiment. I also used Lil' inker Design's frame dies for the orangish yellow card base and on the white card stock.   

It's been a quite month, around the world. I'm ok, if you haven't heard about the brush fires in the state of Hawaii, esp. in Lahaina, Maui. Please stay safe, my friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a nice weekend. Hugs, Eve

Birthday card for Coffee card swap group

Aloha~

Finally I finished to make a card for our admin for this group, and mailed it today, on her birthday. 😊 

I really like this girI from Essential by Ellen 😍I "asked her to toast with coffee" for the admin in this group! 😀I colored with copics. I used Lawn Fawn's mug cup from one of their stamp set. The sentiment is Alternew. I used Lawn Fawn's confetti stencil on the top. I used MFT stamps' stitch die. 

It's so windy here in Honolulu due to the category 4 Hurricane is passing by even it's down south and not direct hit but if the strength is 4, apparently the wind gusts up to 60mph is possible, with our "natural" trade winds. Hope we won't lose power... Hope y'all are not suffering from the extreme heat or storms/tornadoes! Stay safe! Love, Eve

Coffee card for July card swap

Aloha~

Hawaii is known for "Pineapple" but also "Coffee", esp. "Kona" Coffee but 100% Kona coffee is expensive and sell a lot of 10% Kona blended coffee in Hawaii. lol Anyways, this pineapple die is my newest addition from Lawn Fawn. Initially I thought of "Hawaii" and/or "Kona" wording but well, ended up "Aloha". 😊 That's also from Lawn Fawn.

I used LF watercolor paper to die cut the leave's border. The final touch of little hearts are from the local "dollar" store. Hope the recipient will feel the good vibe from Hawaii! 

Mahalo for stopping by my blog today. Have a great rest of the weekend! Stay hydrated! 

Love, Eve

Happy Birthday, BFF!

Aloha~

This is the card which I made for my BFF from college. I hadn't used this stamp set since I bought some years ago...I decided to go with "puns". 😄 Inside, it says "time to SHELL-EBRATE" with the image of shells. 😄 The fun part was to make the background. I always enjoy making the background. I used the vellum for the sentiments, and heat embossed. The final touch is those little heart embellishments which I found at local "dollar store". 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Stay safe from all that heat across the States! Weekend is almost here, my friends! Love, Eve 

BOBA tea! for Coffee card swap, June

Aloha~

Boba tea has become so popular in the area I live. The recipient of this card doesn't live here but I remember she made a card with BOBA tea theme in the past, so she may like it, too. My most fav. place for Boba tea in my area is "The Alley". I believe its HQ is in southern CAL. Anyways, my fav. Boba tea flavors are Matcha and Ube. So, this is the card I made, getting inspired from the boba teas how they make. I think the recipient also loves "matcha". 

I tried to make them look "realistic", and used "Glossy accent" on all bobas and straws, but unfortunately they don't "move" more freely for the shaker card... maybe next time, I won't use glossy accent.😅 Boba tea cups are from Mama Elephant, flower papers on the cups are from LF, and alphabet dies are from Sunny Studio stamps. I love their fonts and the size. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope y'all are having a nice weekend! 

Love, Eve
