Confirmation Blessing

 

My middle child is getting Confirmed today along with his First Communion and this is the card I made for him.  I found the verse searching online and have used it on lots of different Confirmation cards.

 

 

I used the Crosses of Hope stamp set and Soft Suede classic ink.

 

The designer paper is a strip from Epic Day This and That and I added an Early Espresso flagged layer under the dsp and cross.

By the Tide Wish

 

I needed another masculine card this month and figured since summer is almost here (I hope!) a fishing one would be great. 

 

 

I used some Fan Fair dsp for the background and the By the Tide and Word Play stamp sets. 

 

The fish is stamped in Certainly Celery ink and the sentiment in Night of Navy.  I added a Naturals designer brad for a little accent as well.

An occasion like this

 

I have another card created with the Bombs Away Birthday photopolymer stamp set today.  This is a quick and easy one that could work well for a man I think.

 

 

I used Whisper White, Basic Black, Basic Gray and Pumpkin Pie card stock and some Midnight Muse ink along with some dsp from the Twitterpatted pack and a Brights button with some baker's twine. 

The Basic Black layer has been embossed with the Honeycomb folder.

Pure Gumption

 

I have some more graduation cards to show you today using the Pure Gumption stamp set.  I went with bright colors and the Polka Dot Parade dsp.

 

 

I added some embossed circles that are from the Circles #2 die, some are embossed with the Stripes folder, some the Honeycomb folder and others with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.

 

For fun I added some large rhinestones and some Champagne glimmer paper stars.

 

Colors: Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White

Memories

 

I really love using the Distressed Dots background stamp for all kinds of things, scrapbook backgrounds, cards, tags, etc.  It is retiring, but I know it is one stamp I won't let go of for awhile.

 

 

On this card, I used Wisteria Wonder ink with it for the background on Very Vanilla card stock.  The tree comes from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set and the sentiment from Blessings from Heaven.

 

I paired Soft Suede with the Very Vanilla and Wisteria Wonder and added some Artisan Embellishment Kit lace. The tree image is stamped over faux mother of pearl background that I used the champagne shimmer paint to create.

Congratulations

 

When my time is so limited in the spring, sometimes quick and simple win out when I am making a card.  This one is definitely that!

 

 

I tore some First Edition specialty paper and stamped my sentiment from Sassy Salutations on that with Early Espresso ink. On my Crumb Cake base, I stamped the swirl image from Everything Eleanor with the same ink and added a dyed piece of flower trim to complete it.
