Emily Baptism

 

I designed this card to compliment the decorative box I made for our gift to our niece on her Baptism.

The Cross is from the 'Special Blessings' Stamp set (retired) and the sentiment is from the 'Crosses of Hope' stamp set (also retired).

The DSP is from the SAB 2022 Promotion - Friendly Hello DSP.

My littlest niece, Emily Elizabeth Schwab, was born on 2/2/2022! She is a blessing to our family. We celebrated her Baptism recently.

I purchased a Baptism block... showcasing her name, the letter 'E', where and when she was baptized, and a lovely quote of Baptism.

I purchased the wooden block here:

I created a lovely decorative keepsake box of paper to keep the block within. To get the dimensions of the box (using the Envelope Punch Board), I used this lovely website to calculate how big the box should be: http://www.thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/

I used this website to create the bow, using the Envelope Punch Board: https://www.debbiehendersondesigns.com/envelope-punch-board-bows/

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Special Baptism

 

Thanks to Jan Brown and her lovely card, I was able to create one similar for my niece's Baptism. As you can see, I changed a few things with the stamp sets, dies that I had on hand.

What I think is so cool, is that I stamped directly on the ribbon for my sentiment! SWEET!

Thanks for taking a peek!

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.

Thanks for looking!
