Sparkling Menorah Card

Good morning friends

This year I found myself scrambling to get our Hanukkah cards finished in time ... and I discovered that I was ready for some new Hanukkah supplies as well.  When they arrived, I got to work making a card to have ready for next year:

The stamped circle is popped up with foam tape, and I added glitter glue to the '8'.

Here is a look at the inside, with this beautiful sparkling Menorah. I used the little Pop-Up platform that comes with Karen Burniston's new Basket/Barrel Pop-Up to animate the Menorah. That little Pop-Up die is going to come in REALLY handy for all kinds of things!

The Menorah die is beautiful but it was frustrating to cut. I probably had to run it through my machine at least 6 times, turning it around and moving it on the cutting pads in order to FINALLY get it to cut all the way through. I hoped it was because of the silver glitter paper, but I cut a navy one to back it so it would be nice and sturdy and had the same problem.

I have other Hanukkah cards to make for next year, but there is lots of time and I'll do it later in 2016.
