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

TEA card for May Swap

Aloha~

Once in a while, I make "TEA" card for "coffee card" swap group. We are allowed to make TEA card, and hot chocolate beside coffee card. 😊

These stamps are from Stampington & Company, year of 1999! I got ("collected') Debbie Mumm's stamps cuz I loved her designs even before I first saw her design on wood mounted red rubber stamps. I "collected" fabrics, home decoration to table wares! These wood mounted stamps haven't been used that much, but instead, they are displayed on the shelves, for years! I recently bought Lawn Fawn's background die, and had been wanting to use it. I used MFT stamps "stitched" frame die for the front. I used Newton's Nook's new paper for the sentiment, die cut it using MFT stamps old die. The little heart shaped steam stamp is Lawn Fawn's. I felt I needed something more in open space, I found the Lawn Fawn's die of heart. I used "shimmery", "half transparent" paper scrap, and I die cut it. I have no idea who made these papers. I've started to "collect" and "hoard" papers 25 years ago when I lived on a tiny tropical island cuz it was hard to get the paper I want when I needed to make a card on an island, so I "collected" as many as I could, whenever I could, even from the wrapping papers for the gifts/souvenirs from foreign countries! I still have those papers, too! 

I made "a pocket" inside of the card, using the same paper I used for the sentiment, to put a tea bag from Hawaii. 

Hope you are all doing well in your neck of the woods. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

2017 Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop #3

Update : Well, I missed the link up time by probably, 1 min.! So you can't find this card in the blog hop list..lol... I designed a card, using this stamp from Honey Bee ("Tea Time") for sure, but as I moved along, my head started to shift and ended up something totally different from what I initially designed! And that's why it took forever to finish this card, and mised the deadline... oh well... at least, I celebrated "international Tea Day", while making this card! 😊

 

It was really hard to take a picture to show the simmer on the steam, snow bank, sequins, and even the snow on the trees. It's more shimmery in person. The front panel was lifted by a piece of white craft foam underneath. In window shills, you can see "white" (craft foam) but I did it on purpose. Now it looks like the accumulated snow on the each window shills outside. I used Tim Holtz stencil to make a paper, and paperpieced it for this teacup. This is my newest addition to my stamp collection, and I really like this MUG type tea cup after years of using 'traditional fancy tea cups" on my tea cards! When I live in the place where there is a cold winter, this is the type of mug cup for tea to warm myself up, after getting up in the morning. Those fancy cups are for Tea Time for me 😊

Trees ~ Inkadinkado

Sketch Challenge at Lawnscaping!

This is the sketch at Lawnscaping's challenge this week, and this is my card :-) This is the first time I used picasa software for better picture look! :-) All stamps are Lawn Fawn. I layered the rectangle piece with foam tapes, and added another layer (oval) with foam tapes over it. I used Stickles over "steam" image. I stamped a tiny heart with white ink, on each cup on the oval card stock, went over to color them in with Uniball white pen. I used tiny heart embossing folder for background paper. yes, I DO have 2 B-plates, so I can use my cuttlebug to, at least, Emboss, at the moment. I "doubled" the ribbon, to make that look.

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

"Tea" swap

January is a National Tea Month, and my house mouse online buddy wanted to do "tea" swap, and this is the card I made, and I liked this week's sketch at Mojo Monday, I decided to use this sketch. All stamps are from Lawn Fawn set. I stamped the steam & tea leaf randomly on the pink card stock. I used Impressability to emboss light purple background card stock, for the top half. Tea pot, tea cup steam from the tea cup & hearts are all heat embossed.

Today, Ravens won, and I'm happy :-) Except 49er's, I like all other 3 teams who's won this weekend, for Super Bowl :-) I don't dislike 49er's either. So, I'm good to go, for Super Bowl! LOL :-) Hope everybody is having a long great weekend. :-) Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today :-)

Mojo Monday 174 & HM Tea Swap

I really like this weeks' sketch at Mojo Monday blog challenge. I also needed to finish my HM Tea Swap for HM group I belong to, and this is what I made. I've been wanted to use this Cute background paper of "sweets", with my Tea stamp. I adhered glitters around the nestie, inside of the punched tiny hearts on the corner on the front, and flower petals. The main image is attached with pop up glue dots to give a bit of dimention. Inside, I made this pocket using border punches. The buttom of the pocket is a bit open in the middle, because I wanted to give a bit of space in the pocket, so that Tea bag can fit nicely :-)

HM Anniversary Card

I made this for my yahoo club friend's anniversary. She gave me this image a couple of months ago, and i decided to use it. She has a very long marriage to celebrate, and i thought these two mice lookedd so close to each other, great for the anniversary card :-) On the sec. pic. you can see Perfect Pearls on its steam from the tea pot. yes, i did place those tiny lavender color pearls one by one on the teapot!

Penny Black Sat.Challenge wk 105
