Religious Thank You Cards

Good Morning sweet Blog Friends. I'm back to share 3 special 'Thank You' cards
that I created to thank our children's 3 Religious Education Instructors. The kids adored these wonderful Catechists who taught them the basic principles of Christianity and helped to prepare them for their First Holy Communion.

These cards needed to be a little extra special, so I started by incorporating the Spellbinders Cross 1 Dies for all three cards and just went from there.  These are the 3 results:

Religious Thank You CARD #1
RECIPE:
'Thank You' Sentiment stamped with CTMH Archival Black Ink
PAPER: White CS & Kraft CS
Accessories:  Spellbinders Crosses 1 and Picot Edge Circle Dies,  Joy Crafts Border Die 6002-1001, MS Leaf and Edge Punches, CB Embossing Folder, Silver charms, Pizzazz Aplenty Silver flat-back Pearls, White Flowers, Adhesive Rhinestone, Ribbons
* I layered the punched borders for added depth and used the debossed side of the EF.


Religious Thank You CARD #2
 
RECIPE:
No Stamps, No Ink
PAPER: White & Red CS, MM DP
Accessories:   cArt-Us Marianne Lace Die #5501- Spellbinders Crosses 1 Dies, MS All Over Page Punch, Lace, Ribbon, Silver and White adhesive Pearls, Pearl Flower flat-back button, Diamond Dust, Stickles Glitter, MS Ultra-fine White Glitter
*For this card, I wanted to try a Stained Glass Window look, so I added colorful DP behind the openings for the Punched Border and the round tuck die.


Religious Thank You CARD #3
 
RECIPE:
No Stamps, No Ink
PAPER: White CS & Metallic Textured Designer CS
Accessories:  Spellbinders Crosses & Labels 18 Dies, EK Success Punch, MS Leaf and border Punches, Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Valor  Embossing Folder, Silver Crucifix, Silver cross charms (adhered over the openings of the punched border), Prima and misc white and silver Flowers, Rhinestones, Silver Stickles, MS Glitter (sprinkled and adhered on floral corner) 
Once the punching and die cutting was complete, it was a matter of placing all the glue-dots and gathering the elements to complete these 3 cards.  What do you think of the results?

Would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by my little corner.  Hope you will have a most blessed day! :)

  3. Wow, these are gorgeous. They brought back memories. Although I don't attend church regularly anymore I make sure I support our village church as I know it means a lot to my parents, (Dad's church warden, choir master and treasurer and Mum runs a coffee morning to raise funds and sings in the choir amongst other things). My dad actually gave me my first communion back in 1980 xx
