Coffee themed card for July swap

Aloha~

This is the card I made for July swap. First I was inspired by Spellbinder's blog for new products. I often make a card for "Christmas in July", so it was perfect. But then, my "color combos" changed from red/green to "icy blue" after looking at the papers from Whimsy Stamps paper pad. Now, the recipient has a white kitty, I think. So, this is the card I came up with. For some years now, the stamp companies make great paper pads which I can't resist buying. lol... 

This is what did, inside. 

Severe weather continues... please take care of yourself. Stay safe! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve 

Happy St. Patrick's Day! #1

Aloha~

I recently purchased this paw dies from Waffle Flower, and the recipient has 2 kitties, so I thought I would use these dies, and in her kitties' colors. I even asked her before die cutting papers what colors their paws were. lol 

The 4 leaf clover is from Lawn Fawn. I used the glitter paper underneath of the light green "marbled?" background paper from Lawn Fawn. I used Waffle Flower background die to cut the panel so that you can see the glitter through the panel, the same glitter paper I used for the 4 leaf clover the paws hold.

It's been a stressful time and uncertainty in the world, and this recipient told me that my Valentine's day card made her smile last month, so I decided to send this "lucky" card to make  her feel a little better this month, too. 

Spring is just around the corner. It seems like severe weather are here to stay, though. ... stay safe.

Christmas card #5

Aloha~

For this card, I used Mail Box and little mails die set from Hero Arts. I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment from Simon Says Stamps. The gingham paper is from Memory Box. You may not be able to see the "gold" lines on the paper, which looks like "foiling", although it's not foiling. But I attached the golden ribbon to match those thin gold lines on the background paper. I used snow stencil from Lawn Fawn on the kraft card stock from the same company. All greens and red berry dies are from Sizzix/TH. I used Waffle Flower's postage die for the frame, to match the theme of "mail". 

Inside, I stamped the sentiment from Sunny Studio. 

A week left before Christmas! Are you ready??!! 🎅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

Happy Easter! #1

Aloha~ 

This is my 1st Easter card for this spring. I really loved this Newton's Nook Designs paper and wanted to use it last spring but never had a chance. I'm happy that I could use it this spring! Bunny is also from Newton's Nook Designs. The sentiment is from Poppy Stamps, eggs are from Memory box and layering pinking die is from Waffle Flowers. After I received this layering die sets, I noticed it looked like the sun. I really like this die set! 

Easter is almost here. How many Easter cards have you made this year? 

Everyday I check the weather forecast in US mainland, and see some crazy weather still continues ... please stay safe!

Love, Eve
