Hello everyone, and welcome to the November 2023 Edition of The Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas. If this is your first time here, on the 25th of each month, I take part in a Christmas collab with some of my Crafty Elf friends - Debra of Meticulosity and Lisa of Life of a BZScrapper - and we each post a fun Christmas or Holiday card to help inspire you to make your own.
This month we have a Guest Crafty Elf - Amy Tsuruta of Craftee1. Links to all of our cards and our social media pages are at the end of this post.

This month I decided to make a Hanukkah card since I have not made one in some time and the first night of Hanukkah is December 7th.
- Using a piece of white cardstock, I made a top-folding A2 card base.
- I put double-sided tape behind two pieces of glittered fun foam - one silver, the other dark blue. Then I cut them into strips and adhered them to the card front alternating between each color.
- I stamped Hanukkah Background from Technique Junkies on a piece of light blue cardstock using black ink, die-cut it using a stitched rectangle die, and then adhered this to the fun foam.
- I made a Happy Hanukkah sentiment on the computer, de-cut it using a stitched banner die, layered it on another, then the card front.
- To finish off the card, I added green stickles to the leaves on the image.
I hope you have enjoyed this card and I really hope you will find time to visit the other Crafty Elves and see what they made. Their links are all below.
