Confirmation Thank Yous

My third daughter was confirmed this spring. You may remember seeing her invitations HERE. After the party, she had to write out thank you. Why is it so hard for young people to write thank yous out? I had to sit next to her to get them done. They did finally get done and in the mail. 

So simple and pretty!

Happy Stampin'!

Confirmation Cards

Well, I showed you all the fabulous pictures that I created for Confirmation, now I have to show you the cards that went with those gifts! These aren't very hard but I LOVED the way they turned out! I wasn't going to give my daughter, Abi, one because they were late and we had talked about it. She seemed OK with that until she saw the cards. Then she wanted one for her memory book too!

They really are the same, just different colors. It amazes me how just changing the color of something can change the feel and look of the card! The first one is done in Peach Parfait. The next one is Poppy Parade.

Stamps: Crosses of Hope

Ink: Basic Black

Cardstock: Peach Parfait or Poppy Parade

Accessories: Scallop border punch, Pearls, DSP pack-In Color, dimensional

 I guess I would want one for my memory book too!

Happy Stampin'!

Robert's Confirmation Invites

There is a story behind this set of cards! I knew that I had to make Confirmation invitations for my daughter and the neighbor's son (she asked me a LOOOONG time ago to make them) so I wanted to get started on them, especially since Joy needed 76 of them! I asked Joy (my neighbor and friend) what colors she was looking for in these invites. She told me to go with blue and yellow as that is Robert's school colors. I created this card first.

Stamps: Crosses of Hope

Ink: Bayou Blue

Cardstock: Bayou Blue, Whisper White

Accessories: Ticket corner punch, sponge, crop-a-dile,

silver eyelets, Bayou Blue DSP

When I was done, I didn't really like it. It felt like something was missing. Thanks to several online friends I added some yellow to help feel complete.

Stamps: Crosses of Hope, Graceful Words

Ink: Bayou Blue, So Saffron

Cardstock: Bayou Blue, Whisper White, So Saffron

Accessories: Ticket corner punch, sponge, oval punches,

crop-a-dile, silver eyelets, dimensionals, Bayou Blue DSP

While I liked this card, it now felt more feminine then I wanted it to! After all these are for a 13/14 year old boy! So I went with another suggestion from an online friend and made a pull out card.

Stamps: Crosses of Hope, Graceful Words

Ink: So Saffron, Bayou Blue

Cardstock: Bayou Blue, So Saffron, Whisper White

Accessories: Ticket corner punch, sponges, corner rounder punch,

tab punch, ribbon border punch, Bayou Blue DSP

I showed Joy both cards. Her husband and her liked the pull out better (me too!). I started talking with Joy about how many she needed and she wasn't sure of the blue. Their school colors are a true blue so she asked if Robert could come and pick out colors. Told her not a problem!

Stamps: Crosses of Hope, Graceful Words

Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, Whisper White

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Real Red

Accessories: Ticket corner punch, corner rounder punch,

 ribbon border punch, tab punch, sponge

Like what Robert picked out? So much for the blue and yellow!

Happy Stampin'!

Abi's Confirmation Invite

My oldest daughter, Abigail, will be confirmed this May. When she picked out colors for her invitations, she went right to several colors that are now retired! She also picked out which cross she wanted from Crosses of Hope stamp set. I like the way this card turned out. It feels very feminine and perfect for a confirmation invite! I made 60 of these, now I need to get them in the mail!

Stamps: Crosses of Hope

Ink: Green Galore

Cardstock: Whisper White, Pink Passion

Accessories: Framed tulips embossing folder, organza ribbon,

iridescent ice embossing powder
