Hanukkah DeNami Style

Hello there!
Today I have a first here on my blog…..my first Hanukkah card post! Recently my sweet friend (and fellow DeNami DT member) Michele created a Hanukkah card. I was so inspired, that I wanted to create a few myself! It’s always hard to find inspiration for this occasion, so we thought we’d both dedicate posts to Hanukkah today. 
This first card has all the elements that I LOVE in a card- rhinestones, ribbons, buttons and a great image. I think the Menorah is such a beautiful image; and it’s also perfect for a focal point! I did something I rarely do, I embossed! Makes this card just a tad bit more special. :)
I love how this picture captures the true sparkle that the Silver rhinestones bring to the card. **Just in case any of you want to know, I use Versamark for all of my embossing, then my favorite DeNami embossing powders. **
This next card is on the simple side, but I love it just the same. I ,once again, used the Menorah as my focal point. (What can I say, it’s an awesome image!)  I *had* to create some sort of patterned background, so I used the Mini Star and made a quick patterned paper.
I just had to add some sparkle to the “flames”, so I used more Silver rhinestones. I love the way it turned out- I’m gonna try it next time I stamp a birthday cake!
I had SO much fun making these cards, and can’t wait to send them! Do you have some Jewish friends or family members? I know they’d love to receive a special card- especially since this holiday tends to get overlooked by the busyness of Christmas. 
Be sure to visit Michele’s blog for her Hanuakkah card.It is truly A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. When I first saw it, I literally was taken aback- that girl never ceases to amaze me!
Thanks for spending some time with me today! I hope you were inspired!

  1. Oh Paulina these are gorgeous!! LOVE the polka dots with the bling and embossing! So rich and elegant but still so fun!! Wonderful Hanukkah cards :)

  4. There’s always a first, right? ;) i love the embossing. it looks fab and the gems are a nice fab way of lighting (or dazzling) the menorah up.
