On the 4th Day of Hanukkah, my true love sent to me:
4. A pretty center-step Festival of Lights card:
I just love how a Center-Step folded card stands on display, so I knew I wanted to make at least one of these pretty cards which is just a little more cutting and folding than a standard card. I follow templates readily available at www.SplitCoastStampers.com.
I cut the base from Colonial White cardstock (Close To My Heart, CTMH), and embellished it on the left and right panels with Snowhaven B&T Duo cardstock (CTMH), on the center panel with Slate cardstock (CTMH) and on the bottom piece with stacked Slate and Colonial White papers.
I cut the framed element in Cranberry and Colonial White papers (CTMH), using a pattern from the Design Space subscription and my Cricut Explore. I also cut the pretty Menorah shaped to fit the element (a little taller); it's a cut from DS/Explore too, and I used Crystal Blue cardstock from CTMH.
I glued the Menorah to the white framed element, using a Martha Stewart glue pen, and topped each candle with a swoosh of Glitz from CTMH (no longer available, darn!). I stacked the elements and popped them up, using foam pop-dots from my stash.
The sentiment and Stars of David are from a stamp set I purchased from Simon Says Stamp, using Slate and Cranberry Exclusive inks (CTMH). I added a bit of bling (CTMH) to the center of each star, and voila, Card #4 is complete!
On the 5th Day of Hanukkah, my true love sent to me:
5. A Chevron-embossed green and gold beauty ...

I put a piece of CTMH gold shimmer trim behind the line cut, for emphasis, taping it in place. I then layered the entire piece atop a value-pack A2 card from CTMH, and Card #5 was done!
On the 6th Day of Hanukkah, my true love sent to me:
6. A special fold/Star of David card - Shalom!

I cut the card, using my Cricut Explore and Pacifica and White Daisy cardstocks (CTMH). Then, because it was just too easy, I decided to highlight the Star of David using gold Stickles (from Ranger), and I inked the edges in Pacifica Exclusive Ink and a sponge dauber, both from CTMH.
And that's it for Card #6!
Stop back tomorrow to see Cards # 7, 8 and 9!
DeFiaNtLy DiFfeReNt & CreAtiVeLy Yours,
