Hello there. Do you, or know anyone who celebrates Hanukkah? If so, Whimsy Stamps (WS) has just released a couple of products for the occasion. This is my first time creating Hanukkah cards and based on what I’ve seen, most cards are blue and white… so that is the colour palette I chose.
This super easy mini slimline card features the new Hanukkah Lights stamp set. The blue paper is from the gorgeous Blurry Flurries 6x6 paper pack. It was trimmed to 3”x6” and the white Mini Slim Pickens 1 window panel was adhered on top.
Using my MISTI, the images / sentiment were shadow stamped by first heat embossing them with white embossing powder, then shifting the panel slightly up and to the right and re-stamping with a blue dye ink. This technique would work in reverse as well. Assembled the panel onto a white mini slimline card base measuring 3.25”x6.25” to finish.
The menorah was created with white glitter paper and alcohol marker friendly cardstock. Shading was added with light gray Copic Sketch markers.
For the background, took a light blue cardstock panel from my stash and ink blended Tumbled Glass and Prize Ribbon distress inks using blender brushes. Splattered with water and blot with a paper towel for texture. Sped up the drying process with my heat tool, then white heat embossed the sentiment from Hanukkah Lights to finish.
Once again, I do not know anyone who celebrates Hanukkah 🤷🏻♀️… so if you would like to receive one of these Hanukkah happy mail, please let me know by using the contact form on the sidebar 👉.

ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of your first design and the wonderful glow you created for the Menorah! Fabulous cards, Trina!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards Trina, I especially love the Menorah in the sparkly card and beautiful blue blended background.
ReplyDeleteYour love for blue colour always shines in your fabulous cards, Trina! :D Love how the double embossing looks, as it seems diecuts and so dimensional with the faux shading! And your second card is so vibrant and lighting, wow!! Great with the perfect blended background and the glittered white!! Love the detail of shadow!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend! Hugs!
These are wonderful Hanukkah cards. That is a great paper pad from Whimsy you used.
ReplyDeleteGreat Hanukkah cards, Trina! I especially love that menorah! You've done a wonderful job of inking so the candles glow!
ReplyDeleteThese are two beautiful Hanukkah cards, Trina! The blue shadow effect of the first card is cool, and the glittery menorah against the glowing blue background is fabulous!
