Confirmation time

My Grandson Sean will be making his Confirmation

in May and this is the card I made for him.

I saw lots of these on Pinterest and I see you can

buy the card and templates online but I

just had a crack at it myself.

It does fold fairly flat for an envelope but I won't be posting it.

I printed the background papers from a Nitwits file

and added my wording for the prayer and greeting

before printing.

It has all been matted onto some nice blue card.

I then used my dies and a Crafts you Print

confirmation cross for the centre.

The nice die cuts are from a Tattered lace pack

and I punched out some small crosses

and added a pearl and gem here and there.

I also punched two small leaves for the bottom.

Took me a while to complete after working out

my cuts but fairly pleased with the outcome.

I also made this wallet to go along with the

Christening Album I shared on Wednesday.

It has two pockets, one on the inside and one at the back.

I put a mini card in the inside pocket

and money in the back pocket.

The belly band held it all secure.

I used a stamp set called Inspired Events (SU).

The cross was die cut using a spellbinders die

and the papers are old ones from SU.

The little card is from a Memories and more pack called

Bright and Beautiful.

Inspired Events Confirmation card

My Niece's daughter is celebrating her Confirmation this week

and this is the card I made for her.

Really feeling old when I'm making cards for my Niece's children!!

I used Inspired Events stamp set. You should check it out

as it is super useful for these religious occasions and lots more.

I actually use the little rose to make my own calling cards!

How to make this card
1. I used a 5" x 7" card base.
2. Cut your mat 4 6/8" x 6 6/8" in powder pink
3. Cut piece of whisper white 4 1/2" x 6 1/2"
4. Stamp top and bottom border stamp in powder pink ink
5. Stamp congratulations and confirmation in powder pink.
6. Stamp the crosses in grey ink lining each up under the points as above.
7. Draw a pencil line 5/8" above bottom border point
and stamp the child's name in powder pink.
TIP count the letters in the name and start with the centre letter
and work your way out.
Adhere all your layers to your base card.
8. Cut a 6" strip of powder pink ribbon, join both ends in centre
and hold with sticky dot.
Cut  1" of same ribbon, add double sided tape and wrap around centre
of your bow, sealing at back.
Add more sticky tape to back of bow and some wet glue
and stick in place.
9. Add some pink pearls to both crosses.
10. Stamp 3 small rose base stamps in powder pink
and over stamp in pink pirouette ink.
Cut them out, add to card with dimensionals and finish
them with some wink of stella.

Cutest tote bag ever!

Is this not the cutest way ever to give a money gift or voucher gift?

It measures 3 1/4" wide by 2 1/2" high (not including handles), and 1'' depth.

Perfect to hold money, chocolate, voucher etc.

This was so simple to make and I will tell you how to do it below.

I have used one sheet of garden impressions 6x6 paper

I love how the inside is decorated perfectly to match.

I also used my 1" circle punch and 1 1/8" scallop punch

The stamped words are from Tabs for Everything

and the Rose is from Inspired Events, leaves from Flourishing Phrases

I used Lovely Lipstick and Powder Pink inks.

So just get your 6 x 6 paper, score at 2 1/2" and 3 1/2"

Score your folds and at each side of those folds cut along the score line for about 2"

on each one.

Lay your paper out flat and fold the two taps you just made into the centre and glue.

Put glue down either edge of the bottom section and proceed to 

curve these round the opposite sides to form the shape of the bag.

Stick in place.

Pinch either side of the bag top slightly, to help with the shape.

Cut two strips of matching dsp 1/2" x 6", curl slightly, add adhesive

to both ends and stick on as handles for your bag.

Punch a circle, stamp the wording, punch a scallop and 3d them together.

Punch a small hole through both and add some string to attach to handles.

You can now decorate as above or as you like yourself. 

If you have a go, leave me a comment as I would love to come check it out!

Special event!

I have made a Christening/baptism card today.

Quite simple but very elegant and perfect for the occasion,

don't you think?

Change the wording and it could become a wedding invitation.

I used my lovely

Inspired Events stamp set

along with Soft Suede ink pad

and the very gorgeous 

Springtime Impressions Thinlits die

The card has been finished with pearls!

To make this card:

1. Cut your corner die using whisper white card

2. Adhere using liquid glue

3. Stamp your sentiments using blocks or stamparatus in Soft Suede

4. Embellish with pearls.

Simple, quick and easy!

You could easily do these as Christening/First Communion/Confirmation

cards or invitations. Change your ink colour for boy or girl.

And if you are using the Stamparatus you can leave your stamps in place

and just repeat stamp a bunch of cards.

Butterfly treats!

I have an extra tutorial this week!

I love to send wee bars of chocolate to my Mother-in-law

and her favourite is Fry's chocolate cream bars.

So this time I thought I would pimp them up and make some nice boxes.

This box will hold 2 full size bars!

For the pink box I used

Powder pink card stock

Lovely Lipstick DSP

Lovely lipstick ink pad

Dimensionals and wet glue

For the white box I used

Whisper white card stock

Blueberry bushel DSP

Night of navy ink pad

Dimensionals and wet glue

For both boxes I cut the butterfly from Springtime Impressions thinlits

I stamped using the tiny rose stamp from Inspired Events stamp set.

Again I used my Simply Scored and bone folder.

First Communion card

My card today is for a First Communion.

A special day in lots of little lives every year.

I used a brand new stamp set for this one which is called

Inspired Events

It covers occasions like Christening, Baptism, Blessings, Confirmation and Holy Communion.

Perfect! It also has lovely little roses, a cross, a dove, fancy corner stamps, border stamps etc.

It's well worth the spend in my opinion.

You can get this stamp set HERE.

I teamed this one with pool party card and pool party ink.

I will come back again with more samples as I like to make at least 4 projects

with any stamp set I buy.
