Coffee card for September swap

Aloha~

PSL season has arrived! Yaaaas! 😋So, this is my card. 

I love this stamp set from The Greetery. I fell in love with the argyle pattern paper which Honeybee stamps released very recently, and I had to use this particular paper for the card. I first layered the background papers, and then, I designed and chose the stamps for the front. Usually it's other way around, but I really love this paper and other papers in that paper pad! The sentiment on the top is from Sunny Studio stamps and I layered it over the die cut without the sentiment. Other sentiments are from Art Impressions. 

First day of fall is just around corner! Happy Fall, y'all! 

Housewarming card with the gift

Aloha~

This is a rather quick card I made, to enclose in the package of Housewarming gift for my godmother. She & her husband moved to the senior living community recently. When they decided the place a year ago, she told me that there was an indoor pool. She was reluctant to move out from a big house to a smaller place but she was a little happy about the pool. 😊So, I decided then, the beach towel with the beach design as her housewarming gift.😊

I recently got this red panda stamp set from Whimsy Stamps. I colored it with Copics. The background swimming pool is a stencil from MFT stamps. I used the light blue Copic to color over silver layered paper, to tone down. Then, just for fun, I drew "little waves" on the panel, with the same light blue Copic.

Have a great week! Thank you for stopping by my blog today. 

Love, Eve 

Best wishes!

Aloha~ Hope your new, short week has started out well. 😊

This is the card for my BFF's daughter, who's got her first career job after graduating from college a couple of months ago, and relocating to Africa! 🐅 When this set from Concord & 9th came out in July, I thought of her right away and bought it. I wanted to "customize" for her and I chose the animals paper from Echo Park. As I made, I noticed a couple of things and I had to adjust it, to work well on this card, like the "windows". The stamp is a simple night sky image, and I wanted to give a bit of impression when she opened the windows, so I attached the stickers. Oh before doing so, I used two different card stock to see which card stock grabbed the ink well and get the better result. I got good result from both card stock, but when I tried to this design, it was easier to move the window shades, if I used the lighter card stock. Also, I attached some stickers from Concord & 9th which I bought with the dies and stamp sets. I elevated the panel more than initially I planned cuz of those stickers. 

You can see when the windows are closed and when they are opened.

I still see the heat wave across US on weather forecast. Please stay safe! Here in Hawaii, I have started to feel a little "fall" in the breeze, despite of the high of 90F every day. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Love, Eve

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

Birthday card for Coffee card swap group #3

Aloha~ Happy MONDAY! ...or?! 😁

I mainly used Lawn Fawn's stamps for this card. The street stencil is from Pretty Pink Posh. I colored them with Copic markers. The stitch frame dies are MFT stamp's. It's pretty much self explanatory 😊

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Have a great week, everyone! Hugs, Eve

Birthday Card for Coffee Card swap group #2

Aloha~

This is the 2nd birthday card which I made for this group, with my newest HM addition! Love this stamp! I colored them with Copic markers. It's hard to tell on the picture, but I used Wink of Stella on the "steam" images. I used Altenew die for the sentiment. I also used Lil' inker Design's frame dies for the orangish yellow card base and on the white card stock.   

It's been a quite month, around the world. I'm ok, if you haven't heard about the brush fires in the state of Hawaii, esp. in Lahaina, Maui. Please stay safe, my friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope you are having a nice weekend. Hugs, Eve

Birthday card for Coffee card swap group

Aloha~

Finally I finished to make a card for our admin for this group, and mailed it today, on her birthday. 😊 

I really like this girI from Essential by Ellen 😍I "asked her to toast with coffee" for the admin in this group! 😀I colored with copics. I used Lawn Fawn's mug cup from one of their stamp set. The sentiment is Alternew. I used Lawn Fawn's confetti stencil on the top. I used MFT stamps' stitch die. 

It's so windy here in Honolulu due to the category 4 Hurricane is passing by even it's down south and not direct hit but if the strength is 4, apparently the wind gusts up to 60mph is possible, with our "natural" trade winds. Hope we won't lose power... Hope y'all are not suffering from the extreme heat or storms/tornadoes! Stay safe! Love, Eve
