Love & Light Hanukkah Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some Hanukkah cards featuring our Love & Light Stamps.

My first card showcasing the Love & Light Stamps utilizes the menorah candles, two olive branches, and the dove from the set. I started by die-cutting the largest 4-1/8" circle from the Stitched Circle Large Dies from white cardstock and then arranging 11 olive branches in a continuous circle using the edge of my die-cut circle as a guide. I then used the negative heart space around the die-cut menorah image as a template, applying a little adhesive to the back of each candle and slipping it into place. I could then easily lift and remove my template, leaving all the candles perfectly spaced. I created a scalloped card base using the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies, which I topped with a blue gingham print from the Classic Gingham Paper pack, cut out using the Stitched Square Dies. Lastly, I heat-embossed the sentiment "Wishing You Love & Light" by mixing words from the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps with the word "love" from the Love & Light Stamps onto a Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my second card using the Love & Light Stamps, I stamped and die-cut the Star of David banners, dove with olive branch, and the "Happy Hanukkah" greeting. For my background, I swiped a piece of white cardstock with the Salty Ocean Distress ink pad by applying the felt pad directly to my cardstock until it was fully covered and saturated.  I then heated it up with my heat gun until it was almost dry, leaving it slightly damp before embossing it with the Moroccan Circle Embossing Folder. I then pressed my Versamark Ink pad into the embossed surface until it was fully coated. Next, I sprinkled the piece with Chipped Sapphire Distress Embossing Glaze and heated it with my heat gun. I had experimented with skipping a step and tried applying the powder only to white cardstock. However, I achieved a richer cobalt blue color that resembles kitchen tiles by using it over the bright blue cardstock. I completed my card by stamping the sentiment with Versafine Clair Blue Belle Ink and framing the greeting with the Stitched Oval 2 Die cut from white cardstock. This card came together quickly and would be great for mass-producing with plenty of "wow" factor!

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💙

Love & Light Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel here with a festive shaker card featuring the Love & Light Stamp Set and coordinating dies.  

To create my card, I first stamped all my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 100lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then used Copic alcohol markers to color them.

Copic Colors Used:

• Blues: B00, B21, B23, B28
• Greens: YG01, YG06, YG17, YG67
• Dessert: Y21, Y23, E33; 0, W00, W1, W3, R46
• Reds: R35, R46, R89
• White: 0, C00, C1, C3

I trimmed my card base to 4.25” x 5.5” from a piece of blue card stock and die cut an arch-shaped window into this piece using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies. I then adhered a piece of clear acetate behind the arched-window with some liquid adhesive. Next, I ink-blended a 4.25” x 5.5” piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with some Distress Inks (Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, and Tumbled Glass.). To give this blending some texture, I then spattered some water drops onto this piece and blotted it dry with a paper towel.  I also added a few spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint.  

To create my shaker card, I added some Majestic Mini Sequins to my ink-blended piece and placed my card stock with the window on top of my base piece with some 3D foam adhesive tape. To finish my card, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder onto the same blue card stock that I had used for my card base. Lastly, I adhered all of my images with 3D foam adhesive squares for extra dimension.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! Wishing you all a lovely day!

Love & Light Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today I am featuring a card using the beautiful dove image from the Love & Light stamp and die set. 

The color palette for this project is kept very soft and pastel. I started by creating a white card base. Next I made a dry embossed panel using the Buffalo Plaid Folder for some elegant details in the background. This panel was cut with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes die which gives a pretty stitched scalloped border to your card panel. 

The focal point of this card consists of two arched panels. I used the largest of the Stitched Arch dies to cut a beautiful teal flower paper from Flirty Flowers. A second arch was created from white card stock.

Smaller images like the dove and stars from the Love & Light stamp are perfect to make your own patterned background. I used a piece of scrap paper to figure out which layout would fit the best into the arch shape. All the coloring was done with Copic markers in soft shades of pink and teal. I added some details with a white gel pen.

Next, I stamped the stars onto the panel with Distress Oxide Speckled Egg, the perfect match for the teals and pinks in this project. A few dots with a black marker provided a ‘splattering effect’.

I love the look of the two layered arches, but adding some greenery on both sides of the design really enhances the card. I die cut several small branches from the Winter Greenery Dies from shiny pink and white card stock from my stash. I love this die set so much; I use it a lot in my cards. For my sentiment I created the word ‘peace’ using the beautiful letter dies from the Chloe Alphabet and the same shiny pink card stock as some of the branches. I stacked three layers to give the letters lots of dimension.

Finally, I added a few Pure White Jewels as embellishments and that finishes the card! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Love & Light Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back on the blog with this bright Hanukkah card showcasing the beautiful Love & Light stamp set which includes the perfect images to make your own Hanukkah card or tags.

I decided to go for a shaker card, and started off by cutting three different elements to build it:

• an A2 sized Dotted Diamond Landscape blue panel
• an A2 sized Spring Sunburst blue panel
• an A2 sized acetate panel
• a gold glitter frame using the Stitched Oval 2 + Scalloped Oval Mat 1 largest dies

I added a little bit of prize ribbon + black soot distress inks on the edges of my Dotted Diamond panel, and used the largest Stitched Oval 2 die to cut an opening right in the middle of it. I attached the acetate panel at the back using double sided tape, and added foam strips all along the four edges of my panel, as well as around the oval opening. I poured a bunch of golden sequins inside the window, and then stuck my Spring Sunburst panel on the foam to totally close the shaker. And to decorate the oval window nicely, I attached my gold glitter frame using liquid glue.

Next I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers + Graph'it brush markers. I also white heat embossed my "Happy Hanukkah" greeting from Love & Light on black cardstock and cut it using the coordinating die.

I attached everything on my shaker panel using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, and finally added highlights and details using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that you like it. Here's another idea, as I'm writing this, you could create a wreath with the olive branches and put either the dove in the center, or the candelabrum, or even just the greeting, any of these would look amazing! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Love & Light Card with Gladys

Hi crafty friends, Gladys here! I'm excited to be back on the blog today to share a Hanukkah card using the beautiful stamp set called Love and Light!

First, I stamped the images from Love and Light with alcohol friendly ink. Then I colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next, I used the largest square die from the Fancy Frames Square dies collection out of Bristol Smooth card stock. I ink blended the inner panel with tumbled glass, salty ocean, and prized ribbon distress oxide inks. I started from the center of the panel with the lightest color and work my way out with the medium and darker colors to add depth. For more interest I splattered flecks of white and gold paint from Gansai Tambi using a small paint brush. I used the square die again to cut from dark blue cardstock. Once the background panel was dry I adhered it onto a white card base.

To assemble the card I centered the candles on the panel and adhered it with glue. I popped all the leaves and arranged them in each of the corners. Then I stamped the “Happy Hunukkah” sentiment from the set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I mounted it on the top center of the panel. To balance the card I added more images below the candles.  

That is all for me today I'll be back for more inspiration. Have a wonderful day!
