Birthday card for Coffee card swap group member

Aloha~

This is the card I made for a member of Coffee card swap group I belong to. 

It was fun to make because I used this and that from different things and brands. I finally received Honeybee stamps paper pad after waiting for the notification coming through. It's a beautiful paper pad! Although you all know I love the ocean and beach, I also love animals and "in the woods and forest" related products, to make my cards, and this was one of them. I used Cabin die and birthday beaver stamp (which was a freebie from Lawn Fawn for my birthday month). I thought a lot about what to place in the windows and behind the "open door" area. That's when I came up with the idea after unable to find such small stamps for coffee. Yes, I had this Washi tape from nearby Japanese "dollar store", although it's not a dollar and now with the inflation, it's" $1.75 store", but I found this Washi tape a couple of years ago. They fitted pretty well, don't you agree? 😀I had a couple of choices behind the door, and chose the fox, cutting from my collection of "hoarded papers for years", so I'm not sure about its brand. lol I probably found it at Jo Anne over 10 years ago, I think... also "cafe" sign is a part of the same Washi tape I used for windows. Can you see the little "steam" from the chimney? I found the perfect size from one of the Newton's Nook Design stamp set. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I love the front on this card, using different things from different brands and different times. 

Oh by the way, not card related, but I found this at Macys recently, at their newly decorate floor for Christmas in Home department. I'm a "PSL" person! lol I had to get this ornament. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you will have a great week! "Autumn" has started! 🍂 Love, Eve
