Rosh Hashana Card

Ok... so I'm a little early to post this one.
Seasonal Tree stamps are from Whispers/Sugarloaf stamps (one of my favorite stamp companies that no longer exists - they are sort of Inque Boutique now but the original wood mount stamps are no more).

The numbers are also by Whispers/Sugaroaf Stamps. Inks are by CTMH.

Enjoy!

3-D Hanukkah Card #3

Another easy to make Hanukkah Card.

I used "Postage Stamp" stamp from All Night Media then I used an alphabet stamp set to stamp the letters. The Star of David is from an unknown stamp company. I used foam mount to make the stamps pop up a bit from the card.

Come join me on Flicker - Jewish Cards group

I've created a new group on Flickr.com for Jewish Cards called "Jewish Cards"

This is for all Jewish themed cards that are hand crafted (stamped, drawn, painted or other).

Please join me by adding your cards to the group

More info at http://www.flickr.com/groups/957093@N21/

Once there are new members, I'll post the flicker group here and rotate the images for everyone to see.

Every Occasion Card

This is an all-occasion card I created using the standard rainbow colors. I stamped each image 1/2 inch apart from the next and bordered it in black cardstock. I left the bottom blank since I can quickly chose any random saying (like Mazel Tov, or L'Shana Tovah) and make up a quick card to give to someone. You could even use this style for a quick Happy Birthday card.

I used Close to My Heart inks in the Spring color selection; Cranberry, Sunny Yellow, Orange, Clover Meadow, Pansy Purple and Star Spangled Blue.

I hope you enjoy! (I did realize the last purple star is a little off.. oh well.. it's handmade...)

Hanukkah Card #2

Another simple card to make. I used a stamp from Stampin Up's Right at Home set. Although my photography skills are lacking, I can assure you that in the windows are tiny hand drawn Chanukiahs that are lit.

My preference for modifying line drawn stamps like this is the Staedtler Pigment Liner 4 packs. It comes with a .3, .5, .7 and 1.0 sized pens. They are archival safe and acid free. They are also waterproof on paper which is the reason I use Stazon. I can blend and I don't get any smudged lines.

Hope you enjoy!

Happy Hanukah Card #1

This was a very simple card to make. I used

• #90202 Dreidel by Stamps Happen and cut out the individual Dreidels stamped on colored cardstock.
  
• #2210E Hapy Hanukkah by PaperSalon

Hope you enjoy!

I'm back

It certainly has been one busy year for me - sadly not all of it very good. But I have not forgotten about this blog and hope that going forward I can post more updates to it like I want. I've also added a sister blog that i'll post more about soon as well for my Jewish Polymer Clay art.

I have a few ATC's that I am planning on uploading soon as well as a few more cards I've done. So keep a look out on new posts coming soon.

I also want to thank everyone as it seems you have been busy since our last count of 1000 users - we now have reached over 3000 users.

1000 visitors!

I just want to say thank you to all my recent visitors - we've reached 1000 hits!

I have a few updates in the works coming, so be sure to check back soon.

Blog Candy! *WINNER ANNOUNCED*

Lynn Anne - send me an email with you address and I'll get your package out in the next week. shayla dot anthony at gmail dot com.

Everyone else is doing it - so why not me?

I happen to have a stash of Jewish stamps that I have up for grabs during my blog candy challenge. My blog is pretty small still, and there aren't that many visitors yet. So I am going to pick a random date and comment from that date between now (December 2nd) and January 1st 2008 and that person will win my stash!



Leave a comment anywhere on this site under any post and your entered - just please make sure I have a way to reach you via the comment you have posted (if your login doesn't give me a way to reply to you).

I will give the person 15 days to claim that award if they are unreachable, and if not I will choose another winner.

• Happy Holidays clear stamps from Studio G


• Pomegranate from Faithmeadow stamps


• Peace from Studio G


• Hapy Hanukkah from D.O.T.S (JRL Designs)


• Star of David from Candadian Maple Collection


• Chanukia from Canadian Maple Collection


• L'Chaim stamp from Sugar Loaf


• Blue assorted ribbon from Making Memories


• Gold and Silver Stickles

How I'll decide... I thought about this ahead of time (and inquiring minds now want to know) - how to be fair and select someone really random. I have a 30 sided dice that I will be using to select the date. Since I posted on Dec 2nd and there are 31 days in December - the #1 on the dice will be for December 31st posts. Once the date is selected, then I will roll again for the comment on that blog date - no comments posted, then I will select another date, and continue until I have a winner.

Bat Mitzvah Card

I made this Bat Mitzvah pocket card from the same tutorial from the Hanukkah Card in my previous post.

I'm not happy with how the Mazel Tov images stamped, but I figured I'd post this anyway in case it gave someone ideas.

When you pull the pocket card insert out it says "Congratulations on your Bat Mitzvah".

I only used one Stampin Up! set on this card - Hebrew Holidays which is retiring now.

Hanukkah Pocket Card

Here's a Hanukkah Pocket card I put together tonight. There is a great tutorial out on SplitCoastStampers that shows you how to make these very easy cards. You can find that tutorial here if you are interested.

I used two Stampin Up! Hanukkah sets, Festival Fun and Hebrew Holidays for this pocket card.

The ink is Timber Brown Stazon ink. I'm a HUGE Stazon ink fan, and anytime I can use it for outline stamping, I do. The ink doesn't smear (unless your using copic markers) and is crisp and clear every time. I do have re-inkers and re-ink my black pad religiously, but so far I have not had to do so with the other colors.

Enjoy!

Stamp identification

I just received a package of Jewish stamps that I won in an auction, and there is a stamp in there that doesn't have any company name indexed on it. I was wondering if anyone out there knows the company?

My Hanukkah Cards for 2007

Here's my 2007 Hanukkah Cards. The windows are made from Sizzix dies (I chopped the curvy top off). I usually put transparancy sheets beind the windows to look like glass, but we just moved a few months ago, and I can't find them :(

The stamps are from Stampin Up! called Festival Fun. I do believe this set is retired, but you can usually find it on Ebay every so often.

Have A "Beary" Happy Hanukkah

Bear Stamp is by Anita's. Lettering was cut from my Cricut George cartridge.

I don't consider this card yet finished - it's missing a lot... but it's one that I'll put away for a while and come back to it... and then maybe I might know what to add...
