Hanukkah ~ Peace on Earth


 Hello Crafty Friends.                                             ,

     It's time to take a look at the new stamp release for October and it is loaded with holiday, holiday, holiday!

I absolutely love the new stylized Peace dove set so I decided to combine it with the Hanukkah background on this card.  Don't you just love the TJ background stamps? They can really help your cards come together quickly.

Isn't the large peace dove stamp so beautiful with its wings spread wide with hope? I love birds and can see this stamp being used on a variety of future cards. Think of the possibilities!

For this card I really kept it simple though it may not look like it. 

1) I first stamped Hanukkah background in gray on a piece of white card stock. I put a piece of black card stock behind it. My black piece only shows on the sides because I didn't want to trim down the feathers. Attach to the front of an A2 card.

2) Then I stamped the dove in black ink then fussy cut it out. Used a light gray marker on the feathers to add interest and depth.  Added foam dimensionals behind it. Don't attach yet.

3) Next I stamped Peace on Earth in green then die cut it in a circle, adhered a die cut green sprig to the top of the circle (I chose one similar in shape to the branches in the background design) - then attached it to the card. 

4) Add the dove to the card so the wings partially cover the edge of your circle. 

5) Lastly...add a few green gems if you have some. If not, use a green marker and color in a few dots, green sequins, or use glue and green glitter in a few areas.  You're done! 

The October release is 15% off through October 8th!  Everything else in the store is 10% off with discount code TJ10AJ.
