Coffee card ~ February, 2025

Aloha,

This is for the Coffee themed card swap. I can make Tea themed and Hot Cocoa themed cards for this group. Since I've been hearing the frigid temperature across US mainland, I decided to make a Hot Cocoa card. 

I use mug cup dies from The Greetery. Those smiley faces are from one of Lawn Fawn's stamp set. I'm not sure whether any of you are Lawn Fawn's fans but I am, ever since they opened the business. And they do make these cute face expression stamps in many of their stamp sets, so I chose the right size ones for these mug cups. On the lower part of these mug cups, I found this pink gingham washi tapes in my washi tapes stash and used it. The color matched perfectly! The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. I attached it with 3D foam tape, to be able to attach the pink ribbon underneath of the sentiment. I used Newton's Nook Designs' stencils for the background. 

Inside, I used 2 sentiment stamps from My Favorite Things.

Unfortunately we couldn't really enjoy cooler weather this "winter" here in Honolulu. First time, not being able to wear long sleeves to go to sleep at night...even the lowest temperature this week became above 70F...we are still in February...opposite from US mainland... 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hear that flu is going around in US mainland. Keep warm, stay safe! Love, Eve 

   

"Coffee card" for July 2020 swap

Aloha~ A lot of things have been happening, and forgot to post this card which I made back in July. Funny, this was "Christmas in July" card for the swap I participated but now, it's almost Christmas. lol.. Although it's for a "coffee card swap" group, we can make cards with tea theme and hot chocolate theme. 

I can't remember who makes the background paper. Since it's summer, I didn't want too much of "snow" on the card, and thought this "green" paper was perfect. And since it's summer, I used some bright color for the base color ~ yellow, even matching the stars on the Christmas trees on the background paper. I colored the main image with Copics. It's hard to see but used Wink of Stella shimmer pen on the steam & holly on the cup.  

Thank you for stopping by. Be safe & stay well. Hugs, Eve

Coffee card swap for January, 2020

Happy New Year, friends!! 

Now, I'm finally catching up to post my cards! 👍
This is my coffee card for this month! Actually Hot Chocolate card 😉

This is a good combination of things I got in last two years. Girl's stamp set is from Concord & 9th. I received "Tintables card pack" which is the watercolor papers with pre-printed white designs, as freebies. I simply water colored the background paper. I used Lawn Fawn papers from last year (2018) to die cut the gloves & hat, using Sunny Studio dies which I purchased in 2018. The sentiment is MFT. 

The recipient is in Michigan, so probably it looks like this there now.. It's been a warm winter, and here in Oahu, you don't see this scene but in another island of Hawaii where there are high mountains, I heard that they had their first snow some weeks ago.. today's high was 79F 😉

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

Coffee card for December swap

Aloha~
Hope you all are having a great holiday season! I still can't believe Christmas is only a week away! I have several new stamps for this season, but I won't have time to use them all... in fact, I have a couple of dies I bought a year ago, and haven't used them yet. lol... Time surely is flying... 

The recipient received my package so now I can post. 😊This is the card I made for this month's swap. I also signed up for another list, to add some gifts with the card for December, for the same swap group. 
Here is my card. 

I'd been using this background paper from Sunny studio so much, and the inspiration came from the paper. The recipients lives in MA and I stamped "Warmest Wishes for  happy holiday " inside of this card. 

Happy Holidays! 

Eve
