Today I’m sharing the Chanukah card I sent out this year. It’s been quite a few years since Stampin’ Up! has offered a Chanukah stamp set so each year I try to find creative ways to use retired sets, or to use current sets that have images that might be suitable. This year I decided to go back into my retired stash and pulled out my favorite Jewish holiday set, Festive Hanukkah, which was available in the 2004 and 2005 annual catalogs.
I used Night of Navy cardstock for the base and ran a piece of Whisper White cardstock, cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″ through the Big Shot with the Swirls and Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is available in the current holiday catalog. I stamped the image with Versamark onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock cut at 2 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ and heat embossed the image using Copper Embossing Powder. Next, I cut a piece of copper foil at 2 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ and adhered it to the stamped image. I cut a 12″ piece of Night of Navy Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (retired), folded it in half, centered it in the middle of the card, and attached the image on top of the ribbon using Tear and Tape.
I attended a community Chanukah dinner this past Sunday and will attend another one on Friday evening. For me, the highlight of the dinner is always the potato latkes – so yummy!
Wishing you a happy holiday. May the glow of the candles burning brightly in your menorah bring warmth to your heart and home!
Thanks for stopping by today!
