Rosh Hashanah 2017/ Jewish New Year

As the Jewish New Year is around the corner

on September 21 and 22 some of us Jewish Stampin'Up!

demos have come together to make this blog hop for you

to get inspired for diy New Year cards. So get  inspired!

I hope you have arrived here from 

Debbie's Blog

and were surprised by her wonderful ideas.

So I have 3 cards for you today.

These cards are all totally different

and not the usual New Year cards.

For card #1 I used the dies of the Number of Years set

to make up the Jewish year. The paper in the background

is from the new coffee set and the apples are punched out

with the Tree Builder punch. The sentiment is from a

very old Stampin'Up! set.

The sentiment is cut out with the oval die from the

stiched shapes framelits set.

Card #2 is my favorite. When I saw this new

I've got Style stampset it made be think about an old

record I have called "You don't have to be Jewish".

A fun recored with Jewish cabaret pieces, hilarious.

This woman makes me think of these typical Jewish old ladies.

I colored the image with watercolor pencils.

The paper is from the Bundele of Love Designers 

Series papers.The top sentiment is from my stash.

The flowers - gold embossed with a sticky pearl -

is from the beautiful Colorful Seasons set.

Card #3 has to do with my coffee addiction.

I am so happy with the new coffee set in the

main catalogue and now there is Merry Café

in the Seasonal catalogue as well.

The leaves of the apple are made with the Lemon

builder punch and the apple is the circle from 

the Swirly Bird set. 

I was thinking of coffee and honey cake

and that made me think of the stamp on the 

A little Wild stempset: the beehive and the bees,

making the honey for my cake!

For more ideas

please hop over to 

Pascale's Blog

Wishing you all a year of

health and happiness

and may there be a little bit more Peace.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
