Menorah Card

Use circle dies to create this beautiful Hanukkah card.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Cut a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of white cardstock. Emboss with a frame embossing folder.
   
   NOTE:
   Embossing is optional but will help center the menorah.
   

   

2. Step 2

   Cut a 3 1/2" x 1/4" piece of gold foil paper. Adhere the gold foil strip vertically, 1/4" up from the bottom of the card.

   

3. Step 3

   Cut a 4" x 4" piece of gold foil paper. On the back of the square, draw a diagonal pencil line from corner to corner.

   

4. Step 4

   Align 8 nesting circle dies, centered and equal distances apart on the gold foil paper. Run through the die cut machine. (If using Framelits, the largest measures 3-5/8", smallest measures 5/8" in diameter.)

   

5. Remove circle dies and cut along the diagonal pencil line. Set aside one half of the semicircles for another card.
   
   NOTE:
   The pencil line is there as a cutting guide in case the circles separate from each other when the dies are removed.
   

   

6. Step 5

   Adhere the largest semicircle to the card slightly lower than the top of the gold foil strip.

   

7. Discard the next largest semicircle. Then adhere the next largest semicircle. Alternately discard and adhere semicircles until you have all four semicircles adhered.

   

8. Step 6

   Cut a circle out of gold foil paper with the second smallest circle Framelit. Cut this circle in half.

   

9. Adhere the half circle to the bottom of the menorah, flat side facing down.

   

10. Step 7

    Cut NINE 1" x 1/8" strips of cardstock in various colors.

    

11. Adhere the colored cardstock strips above the holders to represent candles.

    

12. Step 8

    Punch FIVE hearts out of glimmer paper with a small heart punch.

    

13. Cut the hearts in half.

    

14. Step 9

    Adhere the half hearts above the candles to represent flames.

    

15. Step 10

    To finish the card, adhere the card front to a card base.
