First Communion Invites

Made these for my little niece. My sister wanted something simple. A framed cross...but was specific that the frame needed so be embossed. As soon as I showed her my Spellbinder's frames, she picked this one and of course their crosses too.  I think my nieces name should be on it ... but they said no, leave it as is. Well this is the final result. I used the Cardmakers Series Pearl paper from Core-dination. I love that's its pearl on both sides and thick... if you haven't used it, you really should :)

First Communion Invites

Wow... I'm so late with Bryan's First Communion invites. I had so much going on with my mom last week and was not able to get them done until last night. I kept them very simple. The embossed side is the same die I used for the banner top. This time I simply embossed rather than cut. I then used my spellbinder's cross and label to complete. I like how simple yet elegant they look. Sorry about the glare, its difficult to photograph metallic paper at night.. ...thanks for visiting. Off to a field trip with a bunch of sixth graders today. I'll be riding in the bus....... oh my.. advil anyone.?????

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.

Baptism Card

I made this card for my niece using various cartridges. The baby is from NA; Fountain from Dreams come true; and the sentiment from BB. I used Peachy Keen face stamps for the baby face. The small cross is cut from the new Wedding Solutions. Thanks for visiting.
