Coffee card for April swap.

Aloha,

My mind was (still is) full of Cherry Blossoms, and I planned to include cherry blossoms somewhere on my coffee themed card for this month's swap but failed. ...now I have really "dark color" coffee card. lol I still like it, though. What do you think? 

I used this Impression Obsession stamp set for the first time. I enjoyed stamping and heat embossing them. I used Echo park stamp for the sentiment in the center, and diecut, using Pink Fresh Studio's Blanket stitched square die. 

This is inside of this card. The sentiment is from the same stamp set of Impression Obsession, and I used Washi tape on the bottom. 

Hope you are all having a great weekend! SPAM jam is going to take place in Waikiki, and a whole week of "Merrie Monarch festival" in Hilo. Every week and weekend, something is going on in this state, esp. in Honolulu county. They recently passed the bill to LIMIT the number of events, in Waikiki because people live there, too...great for tourists, though. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Love, Eve  

Happy Anniversary!

Aloha~

Hope y'all had a nice Easter. 🐰

My BFF's anniversary is coming up. I made this card for her. She loves panda bears. Probably they are her most favorite animals. Several stamp companies came out with panda bears stamp set in the past but never had bought them. They weren't quite my favorite types of panda bears. ... then Lawn Fawn released panda bear stamp sets some months ago, and I had to buy them all. Now, my bff will get more cards with these panda bears in the future. 😄 

It's kinda self explanatory card. I also used Lawn Fawn's papers and card stock. The sentiment is from Altenew. I used gold paper underneath of the sentiment's cut out. It's hard to tell from the photo, but tried to match with those gold flakes on all over the LF's papers.

Happy Spring, Happy Easter! #2

Aloha~

Cherry blossoms are blooming everywhere, and Easter is coming up! This is another Spring/Easter card I made. This Cherry Blossoms are made from Sunny Studio's stamps and dies. I used little critter stamps, sentiment and background papers from Lawn Fawn. Little pearls are from Honey Bee Stamps. Golden eggs are Simon Says stamps. The recipient used to live on ' "Fox"field lane' and I often use "fox" on the cards I make for her. 🦊

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope all flowers and trees are blooming in your area, too! Love, Eve

Happy Spring, Happy Easter! #1

Aloha~

This is my first Spring/Easter card. The recipient lives right outside of D.C., and had been working in D.C. for some decades. So we chat about Cherry Blossoms every spring. This year, I just wanted to make a card for Easter and spring together since Easter is in April. I decided to make a bit "untraditional Easter" card with Cherry Blossoms. 🌸🌸

The dies are from Spellbinders. The sentiment is Lawn Fawn's. The bunnies are Impression Obsession's. 

Inside, the sentiment is Lawn Fawn's, from the same stamp set. The bunnies are also Lawn Fawn's. 

I love looking at Cherry Blossoms... makes me feel a bit relaxed and at peace.

Hope y'all are having a nice weekend.. I've read that some parts of US had some snow! Stay safe! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

Happy Birthday!

Happy First Day of Spring! 💮

I'm sending this card to a birthday lady in my coffee card swap group. 

I recently purchased the newly released stencil & die set from Waffle flower. This cupcake looked so yummy and wanted to use it right away. 😊I made a dozen die cuts with the cupcake images in different color combinations, and from there, I started to make a card. I often use color yellow for the cards I make for April. Her birthday is in the beginning of April. Here is the card I made.

I wanted to include a special sticker sheet and didn't wanna fold it, so I made a Slimline card. It fitted perfectly with my card. 

Inside, I stamped a sentiment stamp from MFT, and added extras, using the stamps from Honey Bee stamps, the Greetery and Stampendous!

How's the first day of Spring look like in your area? 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Weekend is almost here! Love, Eve 

Coffee card for March swap

Aloha~

I received these layering dies (scallop and stitched) from Poppy stamps as a freebie during Black Friday sale last year, and had been wanting to use them. The glitter paper is from Lawn Fawn. I used Newton's Nook Designs mug cup stencil, using white ink. Those little mug cups are from Simon Says Stamps. Since St. Patrick's day is near, I added those clovers, from Pretty Pink Posh. I usually place some kind of sentiment on the front but for this one, I decided not to. 

Inside, I used the sentiment from Lil' inker designs.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a relaxed weekend. It's always something going on here in Honolulu and feels like no relaxing day, ever. lol 😅

Are you ready for wearing green tomorrow?! 💚 Love, Eve

Happy St. Patrick's Day! #2

Aloha~

Here is my 2nd St. Patty's day card (for my godmother). I used the same Waffle Flower's Paw dies for this one, but in orange cat color, remembering her first kitty from over 40 years ago. But orange kitties have been my fav., too. ever since I was a kid. And it was rather fun to make this card cuz of it! 

The sentiment & the background paper are from Lawn Fawn and the 4 leaf clover is from Concord & 9th, watercoloring. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Hope you are having a nice Sunday, despite of 1 hour less sleep in US this morning... Love, Eve
