First Communion Banner with Cricut

I have finally finished my son's First Communion banner. I have been working on this on and off for over a week. The hardest part was cutting his name with the heat n' bond. I had never cut fabric with my cricut so that was a learning experience. I wanted his name to be Felt material and that didn't work well for me. Maybe I need to try again some other day so I settled for fabric looks like shiny fabric.  I did manage to cut some thin foam with my deep blade for the Cup and Cross bottom layers to give it some dimension. The grape's top layer is also foam. I cut the top layer for the Cross and the Cup  with paper.  Everything is glued with foam and/or felt glue.  The trim is from a Spellbinders 12 inch border die. I wanted to add more, but my son thought it would look girly.... boys are too funny.  Thank you for visiting today.








The Stuff:

Cross : Easter Cricut Cart
Chalice/Goblet : My World Cricut Cart
Grapes : Preserves Cricut Cart 
Name font: Hanna Montana Cricut 
Border (top) Spellbinders grand borders 
Bottom Border : wave edge ruler 
Dowel and Dowel ends from Michaels and inked

What did you use for the backing? It looks like felt over foam board.
