Happy Anniversary!

Aloha~

Hope y'all had a nice Easter. 🐰

My BFF's anniversary is coming up. I made this card for her. She loves panda bears. Probably they are her most favorite animals. Several stamp companies came out with panda bears stamp set in the past but never had bought them. They weren't quite my favorite types of panda bears. ... then Lawn Fawn released panda bear stamp sets some months ago, and I had to buy them all. Now, my bff will get more cards with these panda bears in the future. 😄 

It's kinda self explanatory card. I also used Lawn Fawn's papers and card stock. The sentiment is from Altenew. I used gold paper underneath of the sentiment's cut out. It's hard to tell from the photo, but tried to match with those gold flakes on all over the LF's papers.

Happy Anniversary!

I made a card for my best friend's wedding anniversary. 

I started to think the design and the new kit from MFT Stamps were introduced. I thought, aha!

This is it! I sometimes call her when they are watching a movie, and it seems they like to watch movies together, at home. They are hard working couple and they don't like to decorate and have much "stuff" like I (and other "crafters") do! lol So, this card looks rather "simple" but this is exactly what my friend & her husband like. 😊Also, half of the colors on this card is "customized" from their actual family room! 

These days, many dies get released, and they look wonderful once all "tiny" die cuts get placed, but they are "tiny"! lol It's hard to handle them even I use the embellishment wand, esp. when I have to "glue" them! I don't have nails (!! lol) so even it's harder, but I still love the end results. 😀

I used Altenews stamps for the sentiment and hearts. I heat embossed in gold for the sentiment. I used all scrap papers for all those little dies. I found a right color 'wooden' design paper from my paper collection, and I used it for the floor. Again, it looks "simple" but that's what their "comfy" place is 💕  

Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Love, Eve

Happy Anniversary!!

Aloha, 

I purchased this wine glass dies and coordinated plastic shaker pouch some months ago, wanting to make a card with these. It's for my best friends' wedding anniversary. I found this background paper from my "long time-hoarded" paper stash (!!) which had some shimmery, "heat embossed" texture on the purple flowers which I thought I could match with the shimmer all around on this card. You can't see it on the picture well but also, the purple sentiment strip was attached to the shimmery light yellow card stock. I could just attached the wine glasses on the background paper directly but I found old Lawn Fawn Bokeh paper so, I sealed the back of the wine glasses with the bokeh paper first after I inserted all the shaker pieces. I wish Lawn Fawn makes more of these Bokeh papers but that was from several years ago... I attached gold little puffy heart stickers from old Simon Says Stamp kit. I first thought of attaching everything straight on the base of the card. Then, one day, I planned to finish the card, and just touched the edge of the card on my desk by accident. Since all the elements weren't adhered, it moved, and I ended up liking this diagonal position! LOL Hope they'll like it! 

Hope y'all had a nice weekend! Here, it's been super windy, with clear sky but like over 30mph wind gusts! It's been hard to stay standing at the intersection! lol... Mahalo for stopping by my blog today! Hugs, Eve

Happy Anniversary!

My best friend and her husband is celebrating 21 years of marriage :) 

I used TH stencil & embossing paste, colored the raised parts with markers. I used Lawn Fawn stitch die, old Penny Black sentiment stamp, and viva decor pearl pen. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a relaxing Sunday.

Happy 50th anniversary!

How impressive to have 50th wedding anniversary!! Even my father passed away before they hit 50th anniversary!... When I read my house mouse online friend's post in house mouse yahoo group I belong to, back in February, I wanted to make a card for them :) I wanted to make a card a bit fancy for celebrating 50th anniversary, but since I'm mailing this to Canada from USA (BUT, long way from here, Guam USA), I didn't want to send anything too thick or too fragile. I decided to make a FANCY front, and used Glitter lace background technique (ok, I'm not sure how it's called, really, but learned it somewhere a while back...). The background LACE paper I MADE is the one I used that technique. So, it's not the real LACE I layered on the card stock. I used similar design paper from MS holiday/valentine's day paper stack for layering the main image & the sentiment. I used glitter glue (yellow) on sunflower petals, randomly, but it's a little hard to see. White little punched out hearts on the right corner & layering paper underneath of glittered lace background paper has also shimmer in them but it's hard to see it on the picture...but very similar simmer to that white ribbon and that's the reason I chose that ribbon, to match. The sentiment stamp is old Holly Pond Hill collection. The number "50" is from alphabet set of Lawn Fawn. Surprisingly, the font MATCHED with the Happy Anniversary Stamp! And the size is also perfect that "50" being a bit larger! How exciting! lol! I wrote a little "th" by the number "50". :-) I used pearl pen to make "her" pearl necklace :-) Other pearls are store bought; white & red, both. I placed a little heart gem inside of the number "0". Yes, as you noticed, I FINALLY got my C-plate in the mail!! yeah! :-) It's so nice to "Cuttlebug" again! lol :-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a great week! :-)

2 "Fancy Folding" cards

Great challenge at Stamptacular Sunday! I've almost always loved to make 2 folded cards but this year, I've been trying to make 3D/different folding cards, for a change! lol Anyways, I made two fancy folding cards for my House Mouse group I belong to, for many years, for RAK to my long time house mouse buddy, Yara for her anniversary and for a swap, "summer fun" theme. My anniversary RAK is "Diamond Folding", and the "summer fun" swap card is Origami Diamond Folding". For Anniversary card ~ I used red liquid pearls for berries, pearl pen for around the image in the nestie die and the edge of the sentiment border. I love this pearl pen from Viva Decor. Fun to make pearls more than liquid pearls. I colored & trimmed the mice, layered using Dementional glue dots, and for a little heart above the mice :-) The sentiment is Penny Black. Love the vertical sentiment :-) For Summer Fun swap card ~ You can't see it on the picture, but used glitter on the sand. Usually on the beach, sands reflects the sunshine, and glisten! :-) On the second picture, the "post it note" which I attached SHOWS... forgot to take it out when I took the picture :-( oh well, it's always in the mail so I can't take another picture. lol... I used Inkadinkado's seashells stamp, and distressed it, and they were all heat embossed. On the front, I used another inkadinkado's sentiment stamp, handdrew the stitch line, and attached the seashell button. Thank you for visiting my blog today. Your comments are always appreciated! Have a great weekend! :-)

Anniversary Card

I made this anniversary card for my House Mouse friend. She is living "happily ever after" and I wanted to send her the card with lots of hearts & in red. I also wanted to make 3-D card since she luvs to layer a lot on her cards. This is my first time, making a Wiper card, something different :-) It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but lots of gems are placed, esp. on the main heart cut out. Since I put lots of gems, and the theme at House Mouse & friends Monday challenge this week is "Adorn with jewels", I decided to submit this card. Although this card is 3-d itself, I also layered a big heart with dimentional glue foams, and trimmed HM image and layered it with dimentional glue foams on this big heart also. I'm also submitting this card to CRAFT and Me Challenge #39, "Bling it On". Thank you for visiting my blog today! :-)

HM Anniversary card to my HM club online friend

When we know each other for a long time, in the same club, it's a bit difficult to come up with the idea to suprise the recipient, esp. now i don't have many HM stamps here with me. Anyways, i made this card, using a half of one of HM stamp. Background's small heart is from Victorine Originals (i stamped it many times), and the "champagne glasses" is from Penny black. Both are rather old stamps, but i've been using that champagne glasses A LOT! I just luv that design!! I also used glossy accents inside of the glasses. And of course, i stamped Happy Anniversary, inside of the card.
