Hanukkah irisfolding

Hello Crafty Friends,

Tonight is the first night of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah.

Of course I made a card and for this I took out an old

irisfoldingtemplate and made this card:

and used this template:

Feel free to safe the template to your computure.

The papers I used are some old design papers by Stampin'Up!

and a sentiment from the set Happy Hanukkah Collection.

The gemsones are SU! Blue Adhesive - Backed Gemes.

Wishing you all a wonderful and Happy Hanukkah!

May the light give you peace and be happy with  your family.

Creative greetings!

 

8 days of Hanukkah

 Today is the last day of Hanukkah.

This Jewish Holiday lasts 8 days and every day we light one more candle. To learn more about Hanukkah look HERE. For each day I made a card and here I share with you all 8 cards.

All cards are made with clear stamps by Funky Fossil Design.

The menorah and Jewish sentiments are from my stash.

Thank you for looking and

I hope those of you who celebrate

had a very 

Happy Hanukkah!

Hanukkah

Tonight we light the first candle for Hanukkah.

We will do so for 8 days: every day one candle more.

But there are 9......?

Number 9 is the helper candle. This one lights the other candles.

You want to know more about this Jewish Holiday?

Take a look HERE.

This first card is made with rubber stamps by

Zum Gali  Gali rubber stamps.

For the background I  stamped the dreidel in versamark

and clear embossingpowder. Next I colored the paper with

broken china distress oxide ink and stamped the Hebrew letters.

This is called a resist technique.

The image and sentiment are embossed with black embossing

powder and colored a little with a blue marker.

For the second card I used a combination of the 

Zum Gali Gali window/ dreidel stamp, Tim Holtz stencils

and the Stampin Up sentiment.No special technique here.

And this card is made with only Tim Holtz stencils

and a Stampin Up sentiment. 

Every year I hope that Tim will have something

I can use for Hanukkah, like a candle, or a 

6 pointed star or at least Happy Hanukkah.

Not that i have not asked him...but no result so far :-(

I made the candles out of the stencil THS102

by covering it with post-it notes.

The stars are first done with markers and stencil

Falling stars THS 115   and then with fossilized amber and

a blending tool to make the stars glitter.

The background is done with the 

latticework THS 019 and vintage

oxide ink.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a wonderful Hanukkah!

Hanukkah Gift Card

This is a gift card for Hanukkah.

Hanukkah is a Jewish Holiday and this year 

celebrated from December 22nd until December 30th.

This gift card I enter in  the Anything Goes challenge

on the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge.

To make the basic of the card I usesd 2sided 

scrap paper and my Brother Scan n Cut machine.

It comes with an online program called Canvas.

This gift card can you find in this program.

On the front of the card I used a few rubber stamps

for decoration by Zum Gali Gali.

Here you see the backside of the card.

Inside this card there is a pocket (came with the template)

and I decorated this with letters I also cut out with my

Brother machine. Then there is enough place left

to write a personal message.

Perfect pocket for a coffee gift card ;-)

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Hanukkah and Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 7a

Today I have another card for you on the

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

It is also Hanukkah all week and for

Hanukkah I usually give all my children

a money gift. These gift card pockets

from Create with TLC are just perfect.

Here is one card I made with the much loved

stampset from Stampin'Up! called Festival Fun.

This set is from 2004 and unfortunately not

available anymore.

I combined it with this gift pocket card from

Paulette from Create with TLC

and she told me I could share it with you all.

Of course inside the pocket is a coffee gift card!

See the by holding already his Hanukkah cup with coffee.

Of course I used for decoration one of  the gift

cards I received from one of my friends from 

the Facebook Coffee group, for here in The Netherlands

Starbucks has no gift cards.

The dreidel is one of the games that are especially played with

Hanukkah. To learn more about this game go HERE.

All the images are colored with pencil and the background paper

is also from Create with TLC.

Thank you for looking

and hope to see you back tomorrow

on the last day of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Have a latte creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 4 extra

Today I have an extra card for you

with a giftcard freebie from

Create with TLC.

As it is not only the 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop,

it is also day 2 of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

So here I combine the two and

there will be more tomorrow!

Paulette ,of Create with TLC, made me this 

gift card pocket for Hanukkah and she told me

I could share it freely with you all.

She also has wonderful digital coffee 

images, so check out her site here.

Thank you very much, Paulette!

The cup is the bigz die by Tim Holtz

and the menorah on the sleeve is a paper punch.

After folding the pocket I taped it to the front of the card

and tied the ribbon around it, before adding the sentiment

(also Create with TLC). Of course inside the pocket

is a coffee gift card!

I have this special Hanukkah Starbucks card

from my friend Catherine a few years back.

And it is great to use on my gift cards.

Here in The Netherlands Starbucks has no gift cards :-(

Chag Sameach to all who celebrate

and thanks for looking.

Hope to see you back again soon.

 Have a latte creative day!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop day 3

On the first day of Hanukkah,

I have a Hanukkah coffee card of course

for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

A few weeks ago I won  this cute set from

Neat & Tangled called "Darling Dreidels".

For my card I was inspired by the  card sketch

on the Freshly Made Sketches Blog:

You find it HERE.

I started making the background with some drops of

Broken China on my craftsheet and spraying

some gold glimmer mist.

Next i used my Club Scrap coffee ring to stamp

on various places with brown ink.

Then I used some of the images ot the Darling Dreidels

and the sentiment with blue and black ink.

The coffee cups are a bigz  die by Tim Holtz.

Glitter paper makes it so very festive.

The little dreidel boy and girl are colored  with stampin

 blend markers and cut out with the matching dies.

I am very happy with this cute set.

Thank you for looking.

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate

and hope to see you again tomorrow.

Have a latte great day!

Club Scrap December A Night at The Met linky party

Usually you expect a Club Scrap Blog Hop of the kit

that is out in this month. Well, things have changes

and from now on there is a linky party.

This means everyone with a Club Scrap kit of the

month can play along by adding the project made

with the kit to the Club Scrap main blog HERE.

For my project I used the "A Night at the Met"

digital images. The pictures are of our Hanukkah celebration.

I used an existing CS template, but I am not very 

good at using it and changing the colors. It took me

a white in photoshop to get this page. As I am trying to

use more of the digital kit, I learn along the way.

I will confess, I have stopped my paper kit and want to

use all the papers, stamps and embellishments I still

have in the next year in combination with the digital

kits that come out every month. I hope you will come

to see me using up all the supplies I have still lying

around. You know I am not a hoarder, but not every kit

is finished and I now want to use all those items. It

will be quite a journey.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
