Wild Baby Shower

Today, I was able to spend a wonderful afternoon with 2 very special friends of mine. My friends Kendra and Shelby are throwing me a baby shower. Since we don't know if we are having a boy or girl, we are going to have a jungle themed shower. Of course, I couldn't just have them purchase invites, so I designed them instead. Today we spent the afternoon putting them together. Hope you enjoy them. We definately enjoyed creating them together!

 

Cricut Cartridges: George and Basic Shapes, Create-a-Critter

Cardstock: Dark Brown, Green, Tan, Orange, Yellow, Black, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Light Pink, Medium Brown

Patterned Paper: Zebra, Giraffe, and Cheetah prints

 

All 3 designs have the following instructions:

Cut the dark brown at 5 inches by 7 inches with my Fiskars paper trimmer. Cut the green at 4.75 inches by 6.75 inches. Print on the information on the tan and cut at 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Cut a strip of patterned paper at 1 inch by 5 inches. Using my Cricut and George & Basic Shapes cartridge, I cut a circle in dark brown at 2 inches, and a circle in green at 1.75 inches. Using my ATG, I assembled the invitations. Lastly, I attached the elephant, monkey, and giraffes. See below for the directions for each of the animals.



 

  

For the giraffe, I used my Cricut Expression and Create-a-Critter cartridge. Cut the giraffe at 1.5 inches using dark brown, orange, and yellow cardstock. I used a black marker to emphasize the eyes and mouth.

 

 



 

For the monkey, I used my Cricut Expression and Create-a-Critter cartridge. Cut the monkey at 1.5 inches using dark brown, medium brown, and tan. I used a black marker to emphasize the eyes.

 

For the elephant, I used my Cricut Expression and Create-a-Critter cartridge. Cut the elephant at 1 inch using black, dark grey, light grey, and light pink cardstock. I used a black marker to emphasize the eyes.
