Floral Cross Religious Thank You Cards

Hello friends.

Wow, I have been one crazy Momma lately! My daughter celebrated her Confirmation this past Sunday and it just so happened to fall on the same day my son turned 14 years old. So I did what any other crazy crafty mom does and went overboard with the all the crafts, making all the DIY decorations and party details. From the cake table, cake toppers, sugar cookies, flower arrangements, guest keepsakes, and Thank you cards, yup did it all... yah, a bit nuts I admit... That's just me! The only thing I didn't do this time was make the cakes. I think I would have died if I had to do those too as they are so time consuming and I knew I wasn't going to have the time. I also asked my lovely and very talented sister in law to make me some cake pops as they are my daughter's favorite. If you have been following on Social Media, I have already shared some pictures of most of the decor but I will share some also here at the end of the post.

Today I want to focus on a few of the cards I made for some of the other important people that shared the day with us. The Confirmation Sacrament occurs when the child reaches adolescence and seals their own faith to complete what began with during the child's Baptism. As part of this day the child chooses a Sponsor, who then we refer to as a Godparent.  To thank the Godmother and the Catechists that prepared my daughter for the special day I created these very simple Thank You cards.

The Floral Cross stamp I used for the card comes from Studio Katia. You may have have seen me use it recently on an Easter Card - here. Love that this stamp is so versatile!

Since I was creating multiples I used a stamping platform to stamp out each panel. I then used Silver embossing powder and heat set it. Ran each panel through the sizzix die cutting machine using MFT's Scalloped rectangles. Then layered the card front onto a piece of  silver glitter vinyl that I had adhered onto the card base. The Thanks die comes from a Hero Arts set. See links below for all supplies used.

To stamp out the word Godmother took some creativity. I used letters from the Best Ever stamp set to put  the word together. I began with the "other" from brother, masking off the "br" then adding embossing powder and setting it. I then worked my way backward through the entire word masking off and stamping the remainder of the letters I need to use. I did use a positioner, and as you can see it's not perfectly positioned but I had no time to waste to re do it, but after all it is handmade 😏

On the inside of the cards I stamped out this message from the Honey Bee Stamps Bless Your Heart set.

 Here are some photos of our day and some of my DIY decor!

Easter Blessings Card - Studio Katia's Floral Cross

Happy Easter to all that celebrate this Special Day!

Today I have a simple yet very elegant Easter card to share with you. I have had this Floral Cross stamp in my collection for a while and was feeling guilty that I hadn't used it... must be the Catholic in me, lol! So I figured I better do something with it before Easter had passed, not that the stamp is limited to only Easter but it is SO perfect for it!

I went with a purple color combination as purple reminds me of church during the Lent/Easter Season. I love how this card turned out and I enjoyed coloring in those gorgeous flowers.

To make this card was quite simple. First, I stamped the image using the Juicy Ink  and then used gold embossing powder and heat set it. Then I colored the images in using Prismacolor pencils, I stuck with the pink and purple colors for my images. Next I die cut all the layers and then assembled the card on to a top folding A2 card base. Finished the card with some glossy accents and to the centers of of the flowers I added some gold texture gems.

Hope this Easter Blessing Card has inspired you.

Wishing you all a blessed Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, I have to work today but thankfully I will be home in time to celebrate Easter Dinner with my Family 😋
