Happy Belated Birthday 2

Aloha~

I'm still trying to catch up on things... like this birthday card.. At least her birthday is in this month, so I guess it is better than never... like I stamped that saying inside...

Main dies are from Honey Bee Stamps. I bought this a year ago, and now, for the first time, I'm using it! lol. That happens quite often to me..😅I added the birthday cake from Poppy Stamps, and cat from IO. The background of Ginko paper is from Japan. It's like between Origami paper we all know and vellum. So beautiful! It comes in two designs; this Ginko leaves and Maple leaves. I chose Ginko leaves one this time, adhered to off white card stock. The recipient is another girl from Coffee card swap group, so I chose this design. 

Inside, I stamped the "better latte than never" from Essential by Ellen. Then, I attached small "latte" sticker from my sticker stash. Then, I used LF's stamps, "belated birthday". 

Hope this card will reach the recipient in a couple of days! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope your week has started out fantastic! Love Eve

Happy Belated Birthday!

Aloha~

I usually don't send "belated" birthday card, but things happen out of our control. 

I used Waffle Flowers cupcake stencil. Two coffee mugs are both from NND. The recipient of this card is from the Coffee card swap group, and that's the main reason I added those mug cups. I had to "Look for" any kind of sentiments which could've said "belated" and found this one from Essentials by Ellen. Papers are from Carta Bella. I really like her papers! 

For inside, I actually found the stamp, stating "belated birthday" in my stash. It's from LF. 

We had soo much rain and wind this summer. It got a bit quiet for some days now. Hope y'all are not suffering too much from the severe weather wherever you are. 🙏

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hugs, Eve

Coffee card for the card swap of September

Aloha~

Well, life sometimes gets in a way, and I finally made a card for September swap. I PMed the recipient on FB to let her know in advance. Since she is in California, she should get it anytime now...

September is always the start of PSL for me! 😊I used the stamps from NND. Letters are from Sunny Studio, and decided to stack one layer more to give a little more depth. I used LF's leaf die, to cut the LF papers out. The background paper is from Carta Bella. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are enjoying PSL season, too! Hugs, Eve

Happy Birthday #6

I believe that this will be the last birthday card for August...😅 

I often get more "supplies" when it comes to summer and ocean theme... I love the background deep sea stencil from Waffle Flower. So, in Hawaii, "Hawaiian Monk Seals" are loved by locals and officially protected. It is illegal to kill, capture or harass them. This card is for one of my former bosses who is from Southern Cal but has been living here for more than 10 years. When I saw the new release from Waffle Flower a couple of months ago, I had to have it, planning the card for her. 

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and printed sentiment strip is from Waffle Flower. I added a some "water bubbles" from Hero Arts. Hope she will like it! 🦭

Well, MOKE left without much damages on the state of Hawaii but the island of Hawaii continues to suffer from LALA... there are two more in the Pacific, coming this way... while the severe weather still continues across US and the world... Please stay safe! Love, Eve

Happy Birthday #5

Aloha,

Well, another birthday card! Busy month for the birthdays! 

I made this card for a dog lover, and I found this stamp which had a little puppy! I'm a cat lover, so, I don't have any problem with the cards to cat lover, but not dogs, although, I like them, too. Especially, in Honolulu, so many locals have small to medium size dogs. The stamp is from Lawn Fawn. I used even another stamp sets to get cup cakes, smaller speech bubble, etc.except the tiny cups from Miss Ink stamps. 

This is inside of the card.

A week ago, Hurricane Lala hit Hawaii islands. I underestimated the effect of Lala. ... this island had Kona low effect back in March. That brought a lot of rain but this one, lots of wind... severe weather everywhere. Mahalo for stopping by my blog. Please stay safe wherever you are. Love, Eve

Happy Birthday #4

Apparently, there are many who are born in summer. 😀 Usually I don't send this "many" "handmade" cards in summer because I'm usually busy but the ideas have been popping up in my head and I keep making, with less time. 👍

I love this stencil, I mean, the background from Pretty Pink Posh, but had never had a chance to use it. I'm happy when I get to use something I bought a while ago! And of course, the strawberry short cake from Waffle Flowers! And, the darkest color of blue is called Capri from Concord & 9th. I'm in love with this color.😍 I bought the 2026 assorted color collection (card stock), and this is one from that package. 

As most of you know, Hawaii had a Hurricane LALA and Honolulu lost power for several hours to four days? ... severe weather everywhere... please stay safe! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

Happy Birthday #3

Aloha~

Summer is busy with my personal stuff but also there are many birthdays.🎂

The recipient lost her beloved kitty last year and in June, she adopted another kitty. I tried to add "her" on this birthday card. 😊I enjoy making "customized" cards as much as I can, even if they are just card making people I "met"online. But, you will never know if we meet in person someday! In fact, I met three people in card making groups in the past! 

I used images from My favorite things, Waffle Flowers, Paper Trey Ink and the sentiment from Lawn Fawn. This is probably the first time I've been using the back side of designer's papers from one paper pad many more than the front ones which I loved and purchased! Funny, huh?!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a good week. Some parts of US are still experiencing severe weather... stay safe! 🙏 Love, Eve
