It was our Grandsons first Holy Communion a couple of weeks ago and as we are not religious was unsure what to expect and had to google ideas for cards. I was gifted some Cross rubber stamps so not sure whose they are.I also lost my pics when computer died so had to rely on Son sending me them.
I silver embossed the Cross and layered up with dies from The Works,Memory Box and Spellbinders,a couple of lines made on scoring board,dewdrops and peel off corners from stash.
The card I made for daughter Helen to give I embossed the Cross in gold layered with Crafters Companion and Spellbinders dies and a strip of gold paper from stash and added some gems I won at Creative Creases.

I do hope they're able to save your husband's eye this time. It must be quite traumatic to have to continue down this path for treatments! Fingers crossed it works!! Both cards are wonderful for your DGS's first communion! Both cards are wonderful and so is his birthday card! What a fine looking young lad he is :)
Very nice card for your grandson.
Thanks for sharing it.

Well you certainly passed with your beautiful cards Carol, and so nice how he shines on his own birthday card!
What an incredibly annoying news from Johns, I wish you lots of strength for John and you xxxx
Both of your cards turned out beautiful Carol! I love the way you've layered up the image and die cut panels with the crosses as well! Very elegant looking! And your little guy looks handsome all dressed up! Great idea for a birthday card too! P.S. Sending lots of good thoughts and wishes for John's op! HUGS
Beautiful card Carol, and love the birthday card with the lads photo on it, what a nice young man..so sorry about Johns eye, if only they took a leaf out of DR. Sabiston's book, he fixed mine first try 40 years ago, and my whole retina had come off..hope all goes well this time..

Three stunning cards. The First Holy Communion cards are fabulous, I love the stamped and embossed cross and your beautiful die cuts. Perfect for the day and the birthday card is a great memento of the day. I bet your grandson will treasure them.

Good Luck for Johns next op - fingers crossed for this time round! Beautiful communion makes and fabulous birthday card. Emmax
A lovely lad and cards grandma. Best wishes for John's op. CarolG
I wouldn't know what to do either, but you pulled it off beautifully... twice! I cannot believe John has to go for another surgery. I'm late to visit so it's possibly done by now. Fingers crossed. It has been a trying time for both of you.
All three cards are beautifully done. I love all the fab details. Sorry that John is having eye problems. I am wishing him a speedy recovery.
Beautiful work, as always!

These cards are gorgeous! I love all the layers and embossing is always a beautiful addition. The birthday card is classic and sure to be treasured (especially by his mom). I'm so sorry to hear about John's eye, glad his is not having to wait long for treatment.
