#imadeit #cricut
This is my first attempt at two things . . . making cards, and using my Cricut Explore. Why I chose this time to volunteer to create baby shower invitations I'm not quite sure, but I think they came out OK. I ended up needing to make more than I originally purchased supplies for, so I had to buy a variety of colored card stock.
The diaper template was purchased from T
he Cutting Cafe. I printed the liner on my laser printer, cut it out, and use a Fiskar's border punch to edge the legs. I created a little label, added some bling, and "pinned" them on the front. Lucky for me, they fit perfectly into standard invitation envelopes, and I had a box of those on hand. I used a little stamp to stamp baby footprints (in blue, of course) on the flap and Voila! Cute, huh?

I love it! I saw it first on the Cricut Design Space Facebook page. Did you use the cricut explore to do the writing on the inside of the invite?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tina! No, I printed the the text on my printer, then cut it out manually. I haven't tried writing with my Explore yet since it only came with a silver pen. From watching the presentation on HSN though, I got the impression it was wide/bold printing, not really appropriate for this.

ReplyDeleteI owe it all to you, Missy! Thanks for the inspiration - I couldn't have done it without you.
