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

Coffee card swap for August, 2021

Aloha~

I recently purchased these "tropical leaf stencils" and "hibiscus die" from Lawn Fawn's new summer release and have been wanting to use them. I was off island in July and finally got home to be able to make a card! I used Distress inks for the stencils, on kraft color card stock from Lawn Fawn, too. Frappuccino stamp is from Lil'inker designs. It's been so hot, and have been drinking lots of iced coffee and Frappuccino! How about you? Those coffee bean's embellishments are from Trinity stamps. "aloha" sentiment is from "dandelion designs". I can't remember exactly where I found this cling stamp but I'm glad I did. 👍 

Forgot to take the picture of the inside before "writing" to the recipient. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Hope y'all are staying safe! 

Hugs, Eve
