Hi, I've been asked to make a christening card by the Godmother to be. The little girl will be 2 years old when she is christened, so rattles and dummies are out really. I'm a bit stuck, so am looking to pinch some of your inspiration ladies!
Thanks in advance
this is the one card that i've never atempted as yet. I never know what to put in them being non religious.
Our church gives each child a candle, so you could go with something like that? Or a bible? Or the font?
Have also seen some decoupage which might be meant for confirmation/first communion, but they might work?
My mum, who makes cards as well, has always threaded satin ribbon (in the appropriate colour) thru some eyelets, to make a cross shape.it looks very pretty. i think i have one of her christening cards upstairs. i'll take a photo of it later and try to upload it
THis one is really pretty and could be adapted for an older child

Clare, that a really pretty card. Esp. with the tags in the inside for personal messages.
Thank you :)Quote:

That sure is one beautiful card, thanks for finding that for me Eralc and for making in the first place Tracey!
Thanks to everyone for their ideas.

Your Mums card is gorgeous! :)
