Best wishes!

Aloha~ Hope your new, short week has started out well. 😊

This is the card for my BFF's daughter, who's got her first career job after graduating from college a couple of months ago, and relocating to Africa! 🐅 When this set from Concord & 9th came out in July, I thought of her right away and bought it. I wanted to "customize" for her and I chose the animals paper from Echo Park. As I made, I noticed a couple of things and I had to adjust it, to work well on this card, like the "windows". The stamp is a simple night sky image, and I wanted to give a bit of impression when she opened the windows, so I attached the stickers. Oh before doing so, I used two different card stock to see which card stock grabbed the ink well and get the better result. I got good result from both card stock, but when I tried to this design, it was easier to move the window shades, if I used the lighter card stock. Also, I attached some stickers from Concord & 9th which I bought with the dies and stamp sets. I elevated the panel more than initially I planned cuz of those stickers. 

You can see when the windows are closed and when they are opened.

I still see the heat wave across US on weather forecast. Please stay safe! Here in Hawaii, I have started to feel a little "fall" in the breeze, despite of the high of 90F every day.

My 1st Christmas card...

I wish it was still in early December...In November, coming home from the trip was delayed by 10 days and was delayed making Thanksgiving cards... then, I caught a cold... so, yes, this is my 1st Christmas card...😓

Here is my card for my godmother, using my new Concord & 9th addition! 

Most of this card was done with Concord & 9th and various card stock. I used Echo Park papers, which also had a Christmas star & stars. After finishing the card, I used Ranger's stickles to give it a shine. I often keep the package of skin cares, and this, "a little dull" gold card stock for the crescent and the sentiment came in handy. I die cut twice for manger and Joseph & pregnant Mary, to give a bit of dimension, to give a bit of "closer distance" compared to the building dies in the back. 

I hadn't used this Echo Park paper pad for 2 years? But I saw this sentiment in this paper pad. It matched to the front sentiment! So, I used spellbinder's frame die to cut that sentiment, and placed it on the gold paper, to place it inside of the card. I used "Blessings" die from Hero Arts to finish the card.  

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

Season's greetings!

I made this card for my godmother & her husband. 

I enjoyed making this card. Again, I found this background paper at Ben Franklin, and really wanted to make a card with it. I didn't stamp much, which is unusual for me. I stenciled the bricks and die cut the paper with my new house die from Lawn Fawn. I used the glitters for the snow on the house, steam from the chimney, and on the trees. I'm happy with this card 😊
