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

Happy Valentine's Day #6

Aloha~

I mailed this card to my godmother, cuz she missed living in woods area, with the name starting "Fox...", where she lived for over 15 years. 

This is my newest die from Pretty Pink Posh. I used Sizzix/TH embossing folder for the woods background, on the card base. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, and heat embossed. I used small heart dies from Taylored Expressions. The heart die with xoxo is from Lawn fawn. I used copic for the little cheeks 💕

Inside, I stamped the sentiments from Lawn Fawn's stamp set. So, these stamp set comes with many wording stamps, and I just used those words to make a sentiment. I love the fonts and the versatility of the stamp set. 

Hope y'all had a sweet Valentine's day! I have one more Valentine's day card to post a little later today. Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Love, Eve

Happy Valentine's Day #1

Aloha~

This is my first Valentine's day card this year.

I used Waffle Flower's "rose" postage stencil, Honey Bee Stamps "postcard" die, little stamps from old Altenew stamp set. I used Taylored Expression's heart dies, attaching onto Lawn Fawn's paper, after die cutting it with the large postage die.

January went by so fast! How about you? 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

  

Happy Birthday!

 Aloha~

This is the birthday card I made for my godmother. I used things from more brands which wasn't my intention but just looking at it again, I did use from several brands. I started out with my new addition of tulip dies from Concord &9th, and newly released paper from Craft Papers, which I spotted in Simon Says Stamps April release, Taylored Expressions, Lawn Fawn, Spellbinders, Honey Bees stamps and Pink Fresh Studio!

I really like how this card turned out, for her. 

This was my 3rd try of uploading, due to the "brightness", but for some reason, it doesn't get "brighter". But in real life, it is "brighter". lol, esp. the white woodgrain part, definitely whiter. lol, but you got the idea of the design. 😊

I usually don't decorate inside but when I couldn't decide what colors of tulips and how many I wanted to place on the front of the card, I ended up with this red tulip, so, I decided to add that inside under the sentiment. And, I tend to place more things on the card when I need to send them in a package, also, cuz of no extra postage fee! 😉 

Hope all of Moms out there will get pampered tomorrow, which they well deserve! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Love, Eve

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

Aloha~ :-)

As soon as "she" was released, I had to order her :-) This is the sketch at TESC141 this week. "She" & the sentiment are from Taylored Expressions. The card is pretty much self explanatory. I used leaf punch to give more Tropical island feeling, where the dotted red strip is, in the middle of the sketch. The background paper (on the top) is from "me & my Big ideas" and Hero Arts' on the bottom. "Mahalo~" for stopping by my blog today!
