Confirmation Invitation

I designed this Confirmation Invitation for a wonderful friend.
To create the cross, I used the scallop trim corner and border punch (cropping the border punch to just the right size for the stem of the cross).

Thanks for looking!

Supplies:
Punch - Scallop Trim Corner and Border (Raspberry Ripple)
Stamp Brush Set - Elementary Elegance (bird - Very Vanilla and Basic Black)
Embellishments - Basic Pearl (recolored - Basic Black)
Font - Chancellor (Basic Black) and Elegance (Raspberry Ripple)

Confirmation Letter

I created my Confirmation letter to my nephew in My Digital Studio, so that I could create this cross and have a wonderful font too!

I had created a similar cross for my niece, a while back, for her  First Holy Communion.  You may view her's here: Holy Communion Letter and where I got the idea to even attempt making this cross in MDS.

Thanks for looking!

Recipe for Cross:
- Scallop Trim Corner Punch
- Scallop Trim Border Punch
- Elementary Elegance bird
- Basic Pearl


1. Place 4 Scallop Trim Corner punches to make a cross.  Add the drop shadow.
2. Place 2 Scallop Trim Border punches to make the cross stem longer. (Crop the punch so that it's not too long of a stem.) =)
3. Add Bird.  Copy and Paste (in place and move offset in Black) to create a mat around bird.
4. Add Basic Pearl (recoloring it Black).  Keep recoloring it Black until you get the shade of gray you want/like.

Confirmation Cross

My niece will be making her Confirmation this Sunday! May the Holy Spirit remain in her! The 'Crosses of Hope' Stamp set was excellent for this. I did, however, want a dove in the center of the cross. When I saw the 'Easter Dove' in the Occasions Mini.... I thought it was a great fit.

Communion Cross

I saw this beautiful punched cross made by Angie Leach, and I just knew I had to try my hand at it. You can view the tutorial here: http://toocoolstamping.typepad.com/toocoolstamping/2011/05/scallop-trim-punched-cross.html   Thanks Angie!

It was amazingly simple....yet looks so intricate. My niece will be making her First Holy Communion this year...and this will be for her.
