Happy Birthday!

Aloha~

I made this card for one of my "coffee theme card swap group". I've been trying to use something I bought in the past, but haven't used them yet... sounds familiar?! LOL, we become "shopaholics" & "hoarders"! 😅. Anyways, I feel satisfied to use these "quilt" theme supplies, finally! 

Well, I found out today that the recipient's birthday was 3 days earlier than the date I thought...oh well ...

It's been hot here in Hawaii, with the high of 90F and low of 79F. Stay safe, from wild fires, floods to bad air. Thank you for stopping my blog today. Love, Eve

Coffee card for March swap

Aloha~

I received these layering dies (scallop and stitched) from Poppy stamps as a freebie during Black Friday sale last year, and had been wanting to use them. The glitter paper is from Lawn Fawn. I used Newton's Nook Designs mug cup stencil, using white ink. Those little mug cups are from Simon Says Stamps. Since St. Patrick's day is near, I added those clovers, from Pretty Pink Posh. I usually place some kind of sentiment on the front but for this one, I decided not to. 

Inside, I used the sentiment from Lil' inker designs.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a relaxed weekend. It's always something going on here in Honolulu and feels like no relaxing day, ever. lol 😅

Are you ready for wearing green tomorrow?! 💚 Love, Eve

Happy Halloween! #3/Coffee card swap

Aloha~

This is my last Halloween card this year. I really wanted to make a shaker card, because I've been purchasing and "hoarding" Halloween shaker bits and wanted to use some of them.

I decided to make two themed combined card; Halloween and Coffee. I had to choose the sentiment first (Trinity Stamps) and then, made a design afterwards. 

I used Waffle Flowers' block die, but used two out of four windows to place shaker bits. The stamp I used in the block die cut out are Lawn Fawn, Pretty Pink Posh, and dies are from Simon Says Stamps and Poppy stamps. Shaker bits are from Pretty Pink Posh and Trinity Stamps. I just love the colors of tiny ghost bits from Trinity Stamps! So cute! I used Poppy Stamps ' cauldron die by the block die, and spider web die from Lawn Fawn. I die cut this cauldron from the shiny black package of my skin care product, although it shows as if it's rather "blended" on the top but I didn't. For some reason, the photo doesn't show the total shiny black color. I kinda liked this photo instead of the actual color of the cauldron, though. lol

Coffee card swap December 2023

Aloha~

December has been really hard for my body due to my seasonal work. I even prefer a lie-down than sitting at home... but, I finished it and it's on its way to the recipient! Since she lives in west coast, hopefully this card will get to her before Christmas! 

I really like my new background stamp from Taylored Expressions. I also like my Washi tape of plaid. I decided to use this washi tape to "make a background paper", used a coffee die from Poppy stamps to cut it out. Those "peppermint stickers" are from Doodlebug Design inc. The sentiment is from MFT stamps. 

A week left for Christmas preparation, aka Christmas shopping. lol 

Please take care of yourselves. Everyone around me seems that they are getting sick...🙏

Love, Eve

Coffee card for October card swap

Aloha~

The background papers are from my newest addition, from Whimsy stamp company. My cards are mostly "cute" side but I made it a little less cute, well, at least, I tried. lol

I used MFT's stitch frame die to cut and cut them in triangle. I used spider web with a spider from Essentials by Ellen, die cutting the shimmer paper. I used a Ghost die from Poppy stamps. It's hard to see it on the picture but I used another shimmer white card stock. I used the coffee stamps from Lawn Fawn. The sentiment stamp is from Essentials by Ellen. I used dies from Spellbinders, cutting pumpkins, to give a bit impression of PSL which is next to those pumpkins. I added a bit of blings and twine from TH, from some years ago. 

Inside ~ The pumpkin head die is from Poppy stamps. The sentiment strips are from Simon Says stamps. 

Halloween is less than a week away... time is flying by... Love, Eve

Happy Holidays! #2

This is my 2nd Christmas card, and it's for my Godmother's daughter's family. I used LF's shadow box die, stamps and other dies. The santa's sleigh die is from poppy stamps. It's hard to see but there are 3 layers of "snow hills" inside of the box, to place die-cut houses, trees and a church. I made this card for the family with small children.  

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Coffee card swap for December, 2019

Here is my card for December coffee card swap. 

I was inspired by the santa's sleigh die from Poppy stamps, which I bought from BF sale in November. I stamped Altenew small snow background stamp 4 times, heat embossed to make the background.I had the travel mug cup die but not the buckle, so I drew it on the gold paper, and cut it with the scissors. lol. When I do something like this, it makes me feel good, remembering the good old days of rubber stamping/making cards. Things in the market were much limited back then compared to the recent market, so we improvised! That was fun! Stamping/card making is evolving.. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
