Hanukkah and Christmas

I came across a present I received from our daughter in 2006. I do know the date, because it's a calendar where each date is a separate page and meant to be reused for scrapbooking. It says to just add a photo to the center and put it in a scrapbook. I decided I better use the sheets, or just get rid of it. Well, it's MUCH too hard to just get rid of something! So, I made 14 cards so far from it - four Hanukkah and ten Christmas. For almost all of them, I cut out the center image and matted it then added foam squares. Then I cut down the background to fit a card front and re-added the image. I'm not going to show all of them, because they are all basically the same thing. The first three cards are A2 size and the last one is bigger. My plan is to add sentiments to them, but I think they would even be fine without them.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Happy Hanukkah!

Here is my one Hanukkah card. I used stencils for the little bits of stripe and the stars. The stars are done with Deco Foil Transfer Gel and foil, with my laminator. I added thin strips of silver glitter paper on the top and bottom of the image panel. The sentiment is from Gina K. I foiled that, also, and it's popped up on foam squares. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!

Here is the Hanukkah card that I made this year for a friend. Sorry the picture isn't all that great. I took one, but didn't check it out before I mailed the card. Mine was way too washed out! This one is better, but still not so good. I wanted to share it, though. I stamped the stars using a Gina K stamp and silver embossing powder. I embossed the bottom part of the blue panel - I think with a Darice embossing folder. I scored a couple lines with my Scor-Pal. The sentiment was pre-printed from Gina K and I foiled it with silver and matted with shimmery silver paper and popped it up on foam squares. I matted with a layer of shimmery silver paper which I die-cut with a scalloped border die.

Here is my one Hanukkah card for the year. The background is a snowflake pattern from Gina K that I foiled with blue foil and matted. The sentiment was done on the computer and foiled with silver. I matted it with mirror cardstock and mounted on foam squares.

Here is my one Hanukkah card for the year. I a clip art image of a menorah and a nice font to print this card on my laser printer. Then I used silver foil and my laminator. I matted with blue cardstock and shimmery silver paper.

This isn't really a Hanukkah card, but it's the one I made for this year. I had these snowflakes on my table and put them all on one card. I used silver embossing powder for the sentiment, which is from Lawn Fawn. I matted with shimmery silver paper.

Here is my Hanukkah card for the year. I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the "Happy Hanukkah" from "holographic" paper. (The paper/cardstock was from Crayola. I bought it MANY years ago from a dollar store. I THINK that this is the same stuff, from Amazon.) I added the cut-out to an almost navy cardstock, then matted with shimmery silver paper and mounted on foam squares. The background - with shiny silver snowflakes - is from a large matstack from several years ago from Recollections. I matted it with the almost-navy cardstock.

Here is the Hanukkah card I made this year. Hanukkah greetings to my Jewish readers.

The menorah stamp is a dollar stamp from Michael's from years ago, and the sentiment is from a mixed-message set from several years ago, too. I used Versamark and silver detail embossing powder for each of them. I stamped them on blue and matted with shimmery silver. The sentiment is mounted on foam squares. The background was embossed with a Sizzix folder and I matted that with silver, also.

Every year I make one Hanukkah card, and here is this year's.

I cut the dreidels using my Silhouette and some "holographic" paper from Crayola. I glued them to textured blue paper and mounted that panel on foam squares. I printed the sentiment using my computer.

This is the one Hanukkah card I made this year. I cut the snowflakes out of an iridescent cardstock that I've had for years. I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut them. I matted with a thin strip of textured light blue and a thicker strip of the same cardstock as the snowflakes. I printed the sentiment on my computer before assembling the card. Happy Hanukkah, Harriet and Bruce!

This is the one Hanukkah card I made this year. I own VERY few Hanukkah stamps, so I went with a free clipart image. I printed it out twice and cut the flames out of the second one. I mounted them on foam squares and added Stickles to them. The card base is a textured blue cardstock. I matted the image with the same color blue. The middle layer is a shimmery silver. I printed the sentiment on the image at the same time that I printed the image.

Just a reminder - you have one more week to comment on my calendar page post for a chance to win one of my calendars.

Happy Hanukkah

This is the Hanukkah card I made this year.  Simple, but I do like the way it turned out.  I suppose maybe I should have waited until Saturday to post it, but since I haven’t made any new cards recently, it was the only thing I had to post today:)

The light blue textured paper is from a Scrap Pack.  The silver is shimmery. The darker blue with light blue dots is from Die Cuts With a View Holiday Collections Winter Matstack.  The image stamp is a dollar stamp from JoAnn’s.  I stamped it with Versamark and embossed it with silver embossing powder and added two shiny sliver brads.  I scored the light blue trim piece with my Scor-Pal and added some beautiful ribbon (which is available at 2RedBananas.)  Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate it!

Well, it DOES look like winter out there now!  Luckily for us, most of the blizzard stayed south of us, but it’s still snowing here and the temperature is dropping.  I hope everyone is staying warm.
