HANUKKAH CARD 2015

Hanukkah Card

With the winter holidays coming soon [Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa] I designed some exciting new projects. Since the Festival of Lights, known as Hanukkah, is the first of the three major holidays, I decided to design my first 2015 card.

Here’s the card and ‘how to’ tutorial…enjoy!



DIRECTIONS: 

1. Starting with the Papetry Ink Menorah Die from the Menorah Medley Set, run a 4″x6″ piece of watercolor paper and a second piece of plain cardstock [with the Menorah Die] through your die cut machine of choice. Place the candle and flame pieces from the die randomly onto the watercolor piece around the Menorah. Run this piece through your die cut machine a second time creating a wonderful debossed texture to your card.



-->
Note: The second die cut is for use as a stencil for the candle and flame coloration.
-->
2. Mix Creative Medium with the Glass Bead Texture Gel. Apply mixture generously to Menorah Stencil with Palette Knife. Carefully scrape off excess leaving a level base amount. Lift off stencil and let dry.




-->
3. Take the piece of plain cardstock and cut off just the portion containing the candles and flames. Adhere this piece to a craft mat with washi tape. Color each candle with StazOn Studio Glaze [I also used Pico Embellishers.] When finished, use the pointed end of a VersaMark Ink Pen and rub into each candle spaces. Pour embossing powder into these spaces covering the flame holes. Undo washi tape and tap off excess embossing powder. 




-->
4. Place finished Menorah and Candle/Flame piece behind the Menorah stencil and align so that the dry Creative Medium piece and the Candles/Flames align perfectly with the open stencil parts.

-->
5. Cut frame out of colored cardstock. Adhere frame over Menorah piece and place on card base with adhesive squares. This will leave the piece raised and add not only dimension, but visual interest to your finished care, as well.  Rub Memento Dye Ink color of your choice along all four edges of the card.

StencilGirl CHRISTMAS IN JULY Blog Hop Summers here in Florida hardly invoke thoughts of anything close to Winter snow, or  Reindeer for that matter….so this StencilGirl Blog Hop was truly a challenge.  I chose the StencilGirl Mandala Stencil #2 to create a unique snowflake design for this retro -feel Christmas Card. Utilizing ImagineCrafts Palette Knives, I spread  ImagineCrafts Clear Creative Medium [mixed with Vanilla acrylic paint for color] over the  festive card stock. The sentiment is embossed with a mixture of ImagineCrafts EMBOSS  White and Shimmer embossing powder.

CAS-ual FRIDAYS BLOG HOP When I chose the CAS-ual Fridays Casual Comfort Stamp/Die Set for this Blog Hop,  I planned on creating a more upbeat card. Recent events  forced me to change my mind -  unfortunately there are times when we need to send a sympathy card. So, starting with an original photograph of a Calla Lily in my garden, I took one of the Casual Trees Fri-Dies that seemed to mimic fern leaves. I embossed a two-layer piece of card stock for a deep embossed result. Then, using the coordinating stamp, I colored the leaves with VersaFine Ink in the Habanero and Crimson Red colors. The interesting white veining is the result of the embossing technique.
