Happy 250th, America!

Aloha~

I made these cards for 2 of my dearests. I bought this paper pad from Honey Bee Stamps when it was released 2 years ago. I often buy paper pads because they are so pretty but don't use them right away, but place them by my craft table and go through, just looking at them, time to time. That makes me smile and happy! lol. Anyways, I'm using these papers for the1st time! lol! They are so beautiful, and I didn't have to add too much. I used TH's number dies. I love these dies. I die cut once, and I get these 2 style of dies! How cool is that?!

I also stamped the sentiment from looong time ago (Stampendous!), year 2000 release!! It's a wood mounted "grey" rubber stamp but it surely lasts long! It stamped as brand new!!😀

I forgot to take a picture before writing to the recipients so I covered that up. This dark blue card stock I found in my stash has "white" inside, in case, some of you are wondering. It has slightly textured and probably from Michaels or Joann. I don't know who makes those papers, or even they make those card stock anymore. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. If you are off on Juneteenth, have a nice long weekend!  Love, Eve

Coffee card for the swap (June)

Aloha~

This is the easel card I made for the recipient. I already knew that I wanted to use this House Mouse stamp. I colored them first. I checked HM Monday challenge and they were doing "fancy fold", and I already knew this was the kind of card I wanted to make, BUT, time ran out.😓 Finally I got the time to finish the rest, the link was closed! LOL... but they usually do "anything goes", so I decided to finish and I am going to enter this card for the new challenge#467 ! 😊You might think..?? So, the recipient of this card was the sender for the last month's swap and she mentioned that her usual order had chocolate cookies with the coffee. So, I added those chocolate chip cookies by the sentiment! Hope she will like it! 

I added little shimmer on the steam from the cup, using Wink of Stella. The sentiment is from Lil'inker designs. Those chocolate chip cookies are from Queen&Co., and extra coffee beans are from Trinity Stamps. 

Have a nice weekend! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Love, Eve
