This is the first Hanukkah card I have ever made, and I sort of had to "wing it" because I didn't have any Hanukkah stamps. I made the menorah using the candle stamp from Party Hearty (and a Stamp-a-majig) and drawing in the bases by hand using a Night of Navy marker.
The blue and silver panel along the side is made by adhering a piece of lace to a sticky sheet, and pouring on blue glitter. After rubbing in the blue glitter and then shaking it off, I removed the lace and added silver glitter to fill in where the lace had been.
The silver sheet is embossed with a Big Shot and SU Patterns Texturz plates. The sentiment is from Fancy Flexible phrases.

WOW, you really nailed this. This is the most beautiful Hanukkah card I've seen. I have a Jewish friend and I don't have much in the way of inspiration or stamps, etc. to make cards for her. You really did an AWESOME job!! TFS!

This is exquisite! I love the shine to the card, especially the candles and glitter sheet. Embossing of the bg is beautiful and the ribbon is the finishing touch. You really nailed this holiday card.
