For my God Daughter's christening

 

I had to create something crafty of course...

Baby Jamie's Christening

Sorry for the late post today - it's just taken me over 3 hours to get home and with no internet access at my abode in Cambridge yet, and working longs hours during the day, I'm struggling to keep the memento going.

Anyway, enough of the excuses (and moaning!)...

I went along to a Christening/Baptism on Sunday for my good friend Vicki's son 'baby Jamie'.  If you recall I created all the invites a while back (see here).

Here's the card I made ...

I've created the base from Whisper White using the Scallop Edge Border and a bit of freehand magic on the corners ;)... then I have added a couple of 1cm strips of Bashful Blue which I've run through the Square Lattice embossing folder using my Big Shot machine.

The main panel is brushed silver card stock cut with the Scalloped Circle die and then embossed with the Elegant Bouquet folder (both using the Big Shot machine again) and mounted with dimensional sticky pads.  The Bird Builder punch created a quick embellishment in Bashful Blue which I have layered up, again with dimensionals.

Finally the sentiment is just printed on Whisper White using my pc and then punched out with the Scallop Circle punch and I've added some Basic Pearls to the flower centres of the background.

Cute christening invites

Here are some cute Christening invites that my friend Vicki asked me to make for the upcoming event of her son Jamie.

Materials:

Whisper White card base (A6);

White Shimmery card for the frame 5.5 x 7.5cm;

Marina Mist card 14.5 x 10cm run through the Polka Dots embossing folder;

Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding ribbon and Whisper White Satin ribbon;

Peel off sentiments (Not Stampin' Up!).

They were nice and quick thanks to my Big Shot machine for embossing the background but I had to make 42 so it took me a while :).
