Hi Stamping Friends!
I have a nephew and niece who are both being confirmed this month, so I created his & hers Confirmation cards. Congratulations, Marcus & Cassie!
Both of my two cool cards feature the beautiful Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper! These cards could be used for a wedding, baptism, first Communion—so versatile!
Background Basics—I layered a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Something Borrowed DSP onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of matching Sahara Sand card stock, then adhered it to a Whisper White card base. For a little sparkle, I added a 3-7/8" x 1-1/4" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper. This is the old Silver Glimmer Paper style that is now retired, but I thought it matched the paper better than the current Silver Glimmer Paper.
TIP: You could get a similar look by coloring the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper with an Aqua Painter filled with rubbing alcohol and Sahara Sand refill ink.
Woodgrain Cross—I didn't have a stamped image of a cross, so I created my own cross using a 2" x 1/2" strip and a 3-1/4" x 1/2" strip of Sahara Sand card stock. I ran the pieces through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, then adhered them together with Glue Dots.
Congratulations Medallion—I stamped the circular sentiment from A Fitting Occasion in Sahara Sand ink onto Whisper White, then added a fleur de lis image from the set inside the circle. It's punched out with the 1" Circle Punch, then layered onto a 1-1/4" Scallop Circle punched out from the old Silver Glimmer Paper.
I adhered the scallop circle to the cross with Glue Dots. The cross is popped up with Dimensionals on a Whisper White Labels Collection Framelits die-cut.
Finishing Touches—I added four Sahara Sand Candy Dots in the four corners of the Label die-cut layer to give it a finished look.
My girl version uses the flipside of the same Something Borrowed DSP for a more feminine look.
Adorned With Flowers—This time, I added some Itty Bitty Accents Punch flowers from the old Silver Glimmer Paper. I used my Bone Folder to poke in the middle of each flower to bend the petals upward, then adhered them to the cross with Glue Dots. I topped each one with a medium Pearl Jewel. The foliage, punched from the Bird Builder Punch, fills out the bouquet.
I traded the Candy Dots for large Pearl Jewels to anchor the label shape. Pretty!
