8 Happy Nights

Hey hey hey! Hope your weekend was fun!

Today I have this card to share for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps; Michele designed the greatest Hanukkah set called 8 Happy Nights. I paper pieced the star and stamped the sentiment in dark blue ink. The rest of the card involved some simple layering and foam tape. I think this could be fun to make with a variety of blue patterns for the star.

Head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog for more inspiration from the team all week long!

Hugs,

12 Kits of Christmas: May with Joyce

By Suzanne

It’s month #5 of our 12 Kits of Christmas project, and this month’s hostess is Joyce! If you’d like to read about how this group started and works, please read this post. :)

This month, Joyce sent us a kit full of supplies to make Hanukkah projects, which was a special treat for me since I don’t have anything like what she sent. I also think her kit was the easiest for me to work with by far - I’ve got lots to show today and I was able to put them all together in record time. I am quite excited about that!

The card above was made using a sketch you may have seen here before - it’s from one of Lucy Abrams’ sketch challenges from last winter. I thought it was a great way to showcase the beautiful papers that Joyce sent us.

Next up is this adorable box diecut, which I do not own and am now SO tempted to buy. It was a breeze to assemble and decorate and I just love the shape.

I went clean and simple again on another card, with a little bit of stitching and ribbon, hoping to keep the diecut in the center as the main showcase of the card. I do love the plaid on this paper though.

Joyce also sent us some tags! I love tags, and was really excited about the diecut on the right since I also don’t have that one, or the one that was used to make those delicate and gorgeous circular flowers/wreaths. I love the triangles too.

Lastly, I have one last card to share; this time, I added more stitching to the top and to the bottom, and added some gold silky crush ribbon from RibbonCarousel.com.
