Happy Spring, Happy Easter! #1

Aloha~

This is my first Spring/Easter card. The recipient lives right outside of D.C., and had been working in D.C. for some decades. So we chat about Cherry Blossoms every spring. This year, I just wanted to make a card for Easter and spring together since Easter is in April. I decided to make a bit "untraditional Easter" card with Cherry Blossoms. 🌸🌸

The dies are from Spellbinders. The sentiment is Lawn Fawn's. The bunnies are Impression Obsession's. 

Inside, the sentiment is Lawn Fawn's, from the same stamp set. The bunnies are also Lawn Fawn's. 

I love looking at Cherry Blossoms... makes me feel a bit relaxed and at peace.

Hope y'all are having a nice weekend.. I've read that some parts of US had some snow! Stay safe! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

Happy Valentine's Day #3

Aloha,

This is the Valentine's day card #3! I used this super cute bear die set in December for "coffee themed card swap" but this time, I let him hold a heart instead of hot cocoa. 

I used Sizzix/TH rose embossing folder for the background. Since it's a regular embossing folder, I could place the thin gold frame over it. The words are an old die from Cuttlebug. I attached heart embellishments to finish it off. I used Lawn Fawn simple Happy Valentine's Day sentiment inside. 

I've been hearing the severe weather in US mainland. Hope you can stay inside, to make some cards! Stay safe, stay warm! Love, Eve

Coffee card swap ~ December

Aloha~

This is the card I made for the swap this month. I was very sad that Impression Obsession was closing after 26 years of being in the industry. That's about the time when I "got addicted" to stamping, and all of a sudden my collection has started to explode! LOL Before that, I stamped, like 50 wedding invitation cards which I "heat embossed", using toaster oven, in early 90s but I only had a medium box, full of stamps, not A Room! LOL  But I could finally got this die set, even on sale, after first seeing this die set. It went "sold out" so fast in stamp stores, so I was happy to get it, finally! 

I got background stamp of candy canes from Taylor's Expression's Grab bag. I really wanted to have their tote bag which came with it, and I don't own many of their products, so I decided to try the grab bag. It comes with peppermint stick stamps, too. Every Christmas time, I crave for "Peppermint Mocha", and I decided to make this card. I just added "red" peppermint bits (with the marker) on the whipped cream of the bear's mocha! 😋

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

This is the inside of the card.

Well, the year of 2025 is almost here... 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a nice weekend. Me? Lots of football games; both college bowl games and NFL!  Love, Eve
