Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah, Come Light the Menorah

I’m so sorry for the delay between posts. The week totally got away from me. I’ve had a lot of freelance writing and editing deadlines to meet and I’ve been busy celebrating my birthday as well. I also had to prepare for a Stampin’ Up! workshop which took place this past Sunday. Two of my former colleagues were the joint hosts and what a fun time we all had! Thank you, Erin and Jennifer!

I did, however, find a little time to create a Hanukkah card which I thought I’d share with you.

Here’s what I did.

•I created a base of 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” of Rich Razzleberry cardstock.

•I layered the base with the “White Floral Pattern” from the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper.

•I colored in the “Let There Be Light” stamp using my 2009-2010 In-Color Markers--Crushed Curry for the menorah and the flames and Rich Razzleberry for the candles.  I huffed and then stamped it onto Whisper White cardstock. Using Summer Sun Stampin’ Pastels, I lightly colored in the cardstock.

•I cut the stamped image in half and added a pop-up glue dot to the top half. I adhered both pieces to the “Crushed Curry Floral Pattern” of the DSP.

•Then I punched out the corners of the “Rich Razzleberry Floral Pattern” with my Photo Corner punch and placed the large corners around my stamped image.

•For the interior of the card, I layered a piece of the “Crushed Curry Floral Pattern.”

•Then, I colored in the saying only of the “Let There Be Light” stamp using my Rich Razzleberry In-Color Marker and stamped it onto Whisper White. I cut it out and adhered it to a rectangular piece of Whisper White. Once again, I punched out four corners of the “Rich Razzleberry Floral Pattern” DSP and placed them around my rectangle.  

The deep purples and golds of the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP really remind me of Hanukkah colors.

I hope you like this card. If so, please feel free to leave me a comment. I always love hearing from you. And, if you’d like to order any of the supplies to make this card, please click here.
