Special Blessings - #1 and #2

One more Stampin' Up! set done. This set is called "Special Blessings." It consists of the cross, the dove, and six sentiments. I have used three of the sentiment stamps on these two cards. The other sentiments are: "on your First Communion," "on your Special day," and "on your wedding day." For both cards, I stamped the image, cut it out and mounted on foam squares. Then I matted with matching cardstock and stamped the second part of the sentiment on the inside of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Two Baptism Cards

Our grandson, Wyatt, and his cousin, Noah, were baptized this morning. (Their moms are sisters.) These are the cards I made for them - yesterday.

I used the same stamps for both cards. They are from a Stampin' Up! set called Special Blessings. (It's the same set I used for Wyatt's brother, Owen, three years ago.) For Wyatt's card, above, I used Versamark and pewter embossing powder for all of the stamping. I cut out the dove and mounted him on foam squares. I cut the circles with Spellbinders dies and mounted them on foam squares, too. The matted part of the sentiment is also on foam squares. I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug folder. The matting is a thicker pewter cardstock.

This is the card I made for Noah. I stamped the dove with Soft Sky, embossed, cut out and mounted on foam squares. I stamped the sentiment with black and matted that layer with Soft Sky cardstock. Tomorrow I'll post the baby card I belatedly made for Noah.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Another Baptism Card

This baptism card uses the same stamps and the same Fiskars texture plate as this one that I made last week.  This is the one we are giving to our new grandson, who is getting baptized today.

The stamps are all from a Stampin' Up! set called Special Blessings.  I stamped the dove in Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder.  I popped it up with thick Dimensionals.  It is cut with a Long Oval Nestabilities die.  The mat is cut from shimmery silver.  The silver on the bottom is embossed with a Fiskars texture plate.  The main panel is also matted with shimmery silver.  The sentiments are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The "on your Baptism Day" is cut with a Long Rectangle, as is the matting for it.  The dove panel and the "baptism" panel are mounted on Dimensionals.

Today I'm leaving for LA for CHA.  I'm so excited!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Baptism

A quick and easy baptism card.  Not sure if our new grandson will get this one, or if I'll make him a different one.

The stamps are all from the Stampin' Up! set called Special Blessings.  I stamped the dove with Memories Soft Silver ink.  I cut the image and the mat with Nestabilities.  The matting and the bottom are shimmery silver.  I embossed the bottom with a Fiskars texture plate.  That's it!  Oh, the image panel is also mounted on Dimensionals.
