Confirmation Card for a Girl

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How was your weekend? Some shocking things have unfolded in France.

I am sharing the second card I made for the Confirmation Service last Sunday. This one was for a girl.

I used the Peony Blossom Charisma die and matching CD images as the focus for this card. I love this combination of colours. I chose the colour of the layers to match the colours of the flowers. The top pale blue layer was embossed with the Sue Wilson Rows of Bows Pinpoint embossing folder. 

I cut a white oval for the centre of the card and embossed it with a small dotty embossing folder. The cross was cut with a Spellbinders die. I cut four of the images and arrange them around the oval. 

I cut the letters with some Tonic alphabet dies. I added Candi to the corners of the card. 

This was the same size as the card for the boy and the names were placed in the same place. The Vicar was pleased when I dropped the cards off on Friday. I wasn't at the service to see the Confirmation which was a shame I had rather a lot to do.  

I do hope that you have a good week. 

Happy crafting.

Confirmation Card for a Boy

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

What can I say we are nearly at the weekend just one day to go? I have lots to do I expect you all have too.

I was asked to make cards for two young people who will be getting confirmed this coming Sunday. I did get a bit more notice than I usually get for my makes. I have finished the card for the boy so I can share that one with you today.

So what do you do for a boy? I decided to go with bold bright colours and an unfussy design. Of course there had to be a cross with it being a confirmation. I have had the cloud embossing folder for a while but I haven't used it much. The letters for the name were cut with some Tonic dies that I have. The bunting was cut with my Tattered Lace Flower Pot Shelf die. 

The cross was cut from gold mirror card, with a Spellbinders die, and backed with white card so I could raise it on foam pads. 

I will share the girl's card when I manage to get that finished, I have made at least made a start. I have a few outstanding commissions at the moment. I had better get a move on with them or they will be due before I know it. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting
