Hanukkah Cards for Ilai and Alma

Good morning friends

When I saw these adorable 'Darling Dreidels' in a recent release by Neat and Tangled, I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. I immediately made Hanukkah cards for Ilai and Alma - those two LOVE to get cards in the mail!


Ilai (4) is as blonde as they come, so I coloured the boy to resemble him. That will not be lost on him, either. He always examines the cards very carefully.  When you take the card out of the envelope, this is what it looks like:


The Hanukkah paper package by Photo Play also came with a sheet of themed stickers, so I added the 'spin the dreidel' sticker to a stitched fishtail banner then popped it up below the circle frame. The background was done by cutting two different patterned papers from the package with stitched rectangle dies.


When you start to open the card, you see that it is not a flat card but a Pop-Up with a window in the front!


I used the Katherine Label Pop-Up and circle dies instead of the included label shape and added two strips of patterned down the outer edges.



There is so much dimension to the Katherine Label Pop-Up!


For those that like to pin card fronts & insides together, here you go:


Now Alma (2) didn't get a Pop-Up card, as right now she is into shakers. She grabbed Ilai's shaker Birthday card and hung onto it (talking away to it) for pretty much the rest of his Birthday Party last month.


I used this Reverse Scallop die by Your Next Stamp for the window, backing it with two  different papers from the package and added colour coordinated sequins as the filler. I also added some of the stickers from the paper package and a strip of the striped patterned paper.


Inside I added one of the cut-parts from the package to a white rectangle and Alma's card was done!
