Faux Metal Tags

Here is another item for the Hanukkah Craft Fair. This Hanukkah Card uses the menorah and Star or David from the Holiday Blitz set. I was really happy when this set came out, to see two Jewish symbols included in a set that covers so many holidays. This card uses a technique called  “Faux Metal.”  By embossing silver on the brushed silver paper, it makes it look like a metal tag. It is quick and easy and doesn’t add extra weight for mailing! (There are two different faux metal techniques. This is the easier of the two.) Again, I used a Stampin’ Write marker and the Stamp-a-ma-jig to put “Happy Hanukkah” on the bottom.

I liked the layout so much that I created a non-Jewish version as well! I used the snowflake from the Season of Friendship set, but Holiday Blitz has a snowflake as well.
