First Communion Card

Talk about leaving things till the last minute!

My great niece, Emilee, is making her first communion and of course I wait until the night before to make the card.

I've known about this for almost a month, but leave it to me to procrastinate!

Of course, when I went to look for the paper, that I know I have, with little crosses on it, I can't find it.

Could it be that I have a gazillion sheets of paper, or maybe that I have a bunch of my paper over at My Happy Place, the crafting studio where I work?

Well, my paper hoarding is for another post.

So what to do?

I decided to make my own paper.

I found an image that I could use from the internet and printed up some communion paper.

Below is the card I made.

Here it is, all folded up.  I felt the 'belly band' needed a little something more, so I wrapped it with gold thread and made a little bow for it.

Here is the card opened.  The center is a little pocket where we will put a little cash for her.  This style of card is great for gift cards too.

I also figured out how to use the envelope attachment on my
Martha Stewart scoring board and made a little envelope for it.

It measures 3.5" x 3.5" so making an envelope was the best bet.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you will come back soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
