Baptism Cards 2026

 

When I saw this Fun Fold Card, I knew I had to create two for my Godson, Matthew, and my cousin's son, Owen. They are both being Baptized the same weekend (sadly not in the same state, so we are unable to go to both). But such a lovely card for a wonderful occasion. Thanks to whomever made this beauty! I will use this a lot! 

Measurements are as follows:
8-1/2x 5-1/2 white - score at 1-3/8 and 4-1/4
1-1/8 x 5-1/4 white embossed design (I added a mat to this piece to make it stand out of Boho Blue)

1-3/8 x 4-1/4 white
1-1/8 x 4 white embossed design (again, I added a mat to this piece to make it stand out of Boho Blue)

I used the Designer Series Paper of 'Thoughtful Journey' to create a serene feel to the card. 
Measurements are as follows:
1-1/2 x 5-1/4 right inside piece
2x = 2-5/8 x 5-1/4 for both the left inside and the left front

Thanks for taking closer look!

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.

Stamp sets - Special Blessings, Crosses of Hope
Ink - Petal Pink, Versamark
Paper - Petal Pink, Basic White, 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!

Amazing Cross

Easter is one of my favorite holidays!
Here is the card that I created for my family... I had to make 16 of these beauties, so yes... I colored each cross and cut each one out before adhering to the card focal piece.

I used the retired 'Crosses of Hope' (cross) and 'Something to Celebrate' (sentiment) stamp sets... along with the 'Amazing You' stamp set (for the rays of sunshine behind the cross).

I used Stampin' Write markers to color in the crosses.

The ribbon is the retired Ruched Sweet Sugarplum ribbon.

Thanks for hopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Crosses of Hope, Amazing You, Something to Celebrate
Ink - Sweet Sugarplum, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede
Paper - So Saffron, Sweet Sugarplum, Whisper White
Accessories - scissors, dimensionals, Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon

Cross of Style

A very good friend of ours is completing the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) process, and this Easter will become a Catholic.

I wanted to create a masculine feel to the card, as well as have an Irish cross on it (his wife is from Ireland and they lived there for several years).

The colors red and white are what is used for Confirmation, so I chose that along with black.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:
Stamp set - Crosses of Hope
Ink - Memento Ink, Real Red Blendabilities, Basic Black
Paper - Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories - Stylish Stripes TIEF, Big Shot, Windows Collection Framelits, dimensionals, Red Ribbon (non-SU)

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.
