Coffee card for the card swap in August 2025

Aloha~

This is the swap card I made for this month. It's an "Iced Tea/Boba tea" card. I recently found a great buy at Echo Park website for the layered frame die set. It pURRfectly cut Newton's image! The designed papers are from Newton's nook also. The sun die cut is from Concord & 9th. The sentiment is from Pink & Main. Oh, the "sunburst" die all over the front panel is from Concord & 9th, too. 

So, inside, you wonder why these two boba teas...? Well, the sentiment happened to say, "Cups", so I just added to make it more than one in the front of the card. lol Those are from Lawn Fawn. 

Maybe I'll make a couple of more Summer card before shifting to "fall" theme, if I find time. Summer is always busy for me. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a great weekend! Love, Eve

Coffee themed card for May swap

Aloha~

This is the card for May swap. How many of you like BOBA tea? I love Tapioca pearls, esp. in Ube, Matcha and regular ice tea flavor, as you can probably tell.😋 

The main stamp is from Lawn Fawn who became 15 years old this spring, and that's their "birthday" stamp for the store. I can't believe that I MET Lawn Fawn 15 years go when the owner started the business. I used the sentiment from Pink and Main. What took my time the most is the background, using Simon Says Stamp Brush strokes stencil. The stencil itself has more wider spaces between the brush strokes and I wanted to use them to make "narrower" brush strokes background. Not only that, I tried to match the colors on the background paper from lawn fawn. So, I moved a little by little after stenciling one brush stroke at a time. Also, some are wider brush strokes which I didn't wanna use, so I used the ones which I would've liked to get this background result. And, I also chose the colors of the strokes one by one. Although it took more time to make this particular background, it comes in one stencil, and that means, it isn't that expensive. I like this purchase! I used the layering dies to cut the base and background, from Honey Bee Stamps. I bought the similar style from Spellbinders right before this purchase, but it turned out to be smaller and couldn't use for card base, but this does! I love that! And this is "top fold". I finished off with clear stickers of gold alphabets, to make the words "boba" in 2 sizes. Oh, and of course, I had to put a bit of Glossy Accents on all the bobas! So how do you think? I love this, turned out to be "Happy" card! 

I've been hearing the severe weather lately from Texas to east coast, through mid west. If you are in the path, please stay safe!  Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

Happy Birthday ~ for Coffee/Tea card swap group

Aloha~

This is the first time I use these tea pots die set with coloring stencil from The Greetery. The tea cup is from Crafter's Companion, from many years ago. I hardly used it before, like once somewhere. .... I used the mini slim envelope edge die from Taylored Expressions, trimmed to make it into a kind of table cloth. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. Cute background paper is from TPC Studio which I kept for a very, very long time. lol Oh I stamped "steam" from the tea cup, which is from one of Lawn Fawn's stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment inside from Pink and Main. 

Hope the recipient will like it! 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Spring is just around the corner for many! Take care. Love, Eve
