Coffee card for August card swap

Aloha~

It's been really hot here. So, that thinking led me to make this card! I've been drinking Iced Coffee and Iced Tea a lot cuz it's been HOT! I used Lil' Inker's coffee/tea stamps with ice cubes and straws. I used glossy accent for the straws. I had "lemon slices" embellishment, so I cut it in half, attached them in the tea cup. I used the Whimsy stamps Ripple's Die. This die really need a pressure to cut it, and still I need to snip some parts... but love the design! I used Hero Arts water ripple's stamp in the center. I used Sunny studio's alphabet dies for spelling "HOT", and used Concord & 9th's "summer" stamp. I finished off with a couple of sequins to give a bit of shimmer on the front.

Inside, I wrote, "Iced Coffee?? Iced Tea??" 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a nice weekend! Stay hydrated! Hugs, Eve

BOBA tea! for Coffee card swap, June

Aloha~

Boba tea has become so popular in the area I live. The recipient of this card doesn't live here but I remember she made a card with BOBA tea theme in the past, so she may like it, too. My most fav. place for Boba tea in my area is "The Alley". I believe its HQ is in southern CAL. Anyways, my fav. Boba tea flavors are Matcha and Ube. So, this is the card I made, getting inspired from the boba teas how they make. I think the recipient also loves "matcha". 

I tried to make them look "realistic", and used "Glossy accent" on all bobas and straws, but unfortunately they don't "move" more freely for the shaker card... maybe next time, I won't use glossy accent.😅 Boba tea cups are from Mama Elephant, flower papers on the cups are from LF, and alphabet dies are from Sunny Studio stamps. I love their fonts and the size. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope y'all are having a nice weekend! 

Love, Eve

Coffee card for the swap of "Aug.& Sept. combined"

Aloha~

PSL season has arrived! Hallelujah! In fact, I didn't plan to make this card in August but later, these two months got combined, and now it's THE season! I've been "obsessed" with papers, esp. for this fall lately, which many stamp companies have been releasing, MORE than stamps and dies! LOL When I saw the Newton's Nook designers paper pads, I had to get them all, 3 of them, even I hardly ever buy anything with dogs. I love dogs but I'm a cat person and don't have much chance of mailing dog's cards. But, I bought the dog's one, too, cuz I thought they were adorable! lol 

Now, the paper I fell in love with is this PSL paper, and I wanted to use it right away!

The kitty stamp is also from Newton's Nook designs. The sentiment is from Art Impressions. "PSL" die cut is from Sunny Studio. I love the font of these dies. <3 I couldn't decide which die to use for the main image, and I decided to use both! The paper and the paper behind the sentiment is from Sunny Studio. Plastic pumpkins were buttons. I removed the shanks.

Inside, I used my fav. sentiment stamp from Art Impressions. I used the steam stamp from Lawn Fawn. The travel cup is the die cuts from Lil' Inker designs. 

Hope y'all are having a great Labor day weekend. Love, Eve

Coffee card ~ February

Aloha!

This is the card I made for the card swap for February. I recently got this heart die, and wanted to use it for the Valentine's day cards. When I saw this die, I thought I could make the same design without having this special die, just having a heart die... I was wrong. lol. You would think it's easy, and I tried and failed..So, I bought it. With this, though, I can make another design. I already have some designs in my head. Anyways, then, I had to find some sentiment and design on the card front. .. I looked up and saw 2022 "coffee themed" calendar in front of me by the desk. You can see it below the picture of my card. I really liked the sentiment. But of course, I didn't have THAT sentiment stamp. But I used the sentiment on the front of the card and inside of the card 😊 I die cut the mug cups, adhered 3 die cut outs to give some dimension. I really wanted to have "steam" but don't have those dies, so I free hand cut them. I think they turned out to be good 😊 I used the wink of Stella to give a bit of shimmer on those "steam" cut outs. I also "hand cut" the banner with my handwriting. 

The little travel cup attached inside is a clay embellishment from Trinity stamps. Isn't it so cute?😍 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope your week has started out great!  Lov,e, Eve

Coffee card ~ December, 2021

Happy New year! 

I know, it's a little late but hope you all will have a wonderful year! 

Since I was so exhausted from work in December, I couldn't make a card on time for my card swap group 😢 Anyways, I finally finished it. It's a mini slim card.

I recently purchased the "(long) border dies" from Sunny Studio for Slim card. I used two of 6 dies in a package on this card. Stamps are from Lawn Fawn, as well as the background paper. I used a coaster die from The Greetery. I love this die! Actually that is a square die but I cut it after I die cut, to give a bit of different look. Aren't those "coffee beans" resins so cute??!! They are from Trinity Stamps. Those two companies are my latest favorites. 😍 

I decided to send these ground coffee from Hawaii and a calendar with my card. There are several (if not many!) coffee companies in Hawaii. I chose one from Honolulu where I live, and another one, just because I liked the name; Sunrise! LOL I like their "cappuccino" flavor. 

Mahalo for stopping by today! Hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend! To my friends in east coast, stay warm and stay safe! Love, Eve
