I love simple designs that work for multiple occasions and candle dies (or candle stamps or candle stencils!) are a great craft-room basic. So are geometric stencils.
I have made Hanukkah cards in the past, but not many. These Catherine Pooler birthday candle dies easily stand in as a hanukkiah. I made the candles a little 'wonky' to pick up on the background in my inspiration card.
Then I went and used the same candle dies, and the same stencil from A Colorful Life Designs to make a Christmas card, and a masculine birthday card.
I think that we sometimes shy away from making cards that we don't receive ourselves, in fact, I think this is why many of us struggle with 'masculine' cards, and maybe cards for holidays we don't celebrate ourselves, but it's a fun way to expand our comfort zone isn't it?
