LET’S MAKE A MENORAH - A FUN WAY TO USE PAPER SCRAPS

 Hi Stampers!

Today I am sharing another  Hanukkah card created with A WISH FOR EVERYTHING stamp set, several dies, and scraps of  patterned paper (DSP).  The card front measures 6” x 3 1/2” and will fit in a regular letter sized envelope. Here is a look at the card:

Here is the stamp set:

SUPPLIES:

* Card base Basic White cardstock (thick) cut at 7” x 6” scored at 3 1/2” along he 7” side.

* Basic White cardstock cut at 5 7/8” x 1/2” and a scrap for the greeting.

* Misty Moonlight cardstock (or other color) cut at 6” x 5/8” plus scrap to die cut a mat for greeting.

* Scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock.

* 4-5 small scraps of DSP featuring the same color - in my case, Misty Moonlight.

* Ink - Misty Moonlight (or color that coordinates with your DSP scraps), and Wink of Stella to brush over the Daffodil Delight “flames.”

* Adhesive, glue dots, and dimensionals.

* Dies - Layering Circles Die that cut a 1 7/8” circle, Tasteful Labels Die shown below, Stitched Rectangles Die that cuts a rectangle measuring about 2 3/8” x 1/2”, Christmas Trimmings Dies - 2 leaf die.

ASSEMBLY

* Cut and score the card base.

* Cut the Misty Moonlight cardstock strip and the Basic White strip. 

* Using the Stitched Rectangle Die, die cut 9 rectangles from the patterned paper.

* Use the Layering Circles Die to cut a Misty Moonlight circle to mat the greeting.

* Use the TastefulnLabel Fie to cut the shape from Basic White.

* Die cut 5 of the leaf shapes.

* Stamp the greeting in the center of the Tasteful Labels die cut using Misty Moonlight ink (or ink of choice). Mount this on the Misty Moonlight circle.

* Use any “speckle” die you have and stamp the design on the Basic White strip of cardstock. I stamped once, then stamped the second generation of ink to get a lighter color. I continued this process across the piece. Next mat this piece on the strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock.

* Adhere each “candle” on the card front. I stared with the middle one, centered it, then placed four on each side. The center candle is adhered with dimensionals and is positioned to be taller than the other candles. 

* Trim the leaf die cut to use as the flames. Place a glue dot on the back of each flame and adhere to the top of each candle. I went over the flames with Wink of Stella.

* Put dimensionals on the back of the layered strip, but avoid placing one on the area that will cover the center candle as it is attached with dimensionals.

* Position the strip over the bottoms of the candles. 

* Place Adhesive or glue dots down the center of the back of the greeting piece, and adhere it to the center candle.

This card helps use up scraps, and shines a light on some great dies. Why not give this cards a try?

That is all for today. Thank you for stopping by. Until next time…

Stamp Happy!
