Baby Boy Shower Invitation with Cricut Craft Room


Hi there! This is Susan from Busy with the Cricky, one of the Saturday designers here at Everyday Cricut. I have had an eventful week which included a root canal and lots of time spent with my Cricut and Cricut Craft Room making shower invitations.


Today’s project is the invitation to the baby shower of a special mom to be, who just happens to be the daughter of a special friend! Our special mom to be is expecting her first child, a boy, this spring. I was shown a photo of the baby shower cake and designed the invitation to match.  I used five cartridges to create this invitation:  Close to my Heart Art Philosphy – for the ovals and scalloped ovals; George and Basic Shapes – for the rectangles; Creative Memories Stork’s Delivery – for the Blocks; Christmas – for the Teddy Bear; and Baseball – for the baseball.


The base card was cut with my paper trimmer from Craft Cardstock. The other elements were cut using a blue, white, tan and brown color palette which matches a popular Pottery Barn nursery ensemble.  I used a Close to My Heart stamp on the popped oval for the “You’re Invited” sentiment. I added a touch of brown dot ribbon to finish the invitation front.


The Cricut Craft Room cut file is available at my blog, Busy with the Cricky. Look in the left column for the Cricut Craft Room cut file and select Baby Invitation.  I had to cut fourty-four (44!!) invitations, so you may need to edit the numbers in the cut file to meet your needs.



Thanks for stopping by Everyday Cricut today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Ann said...

Where were you 3 weeks ago? I too just made 45 Baby girl invitations for my best friend's daughter who is having a girl in April. What fun but so easy when you organize and cut everything and quick to put together. About 10 people called to ask where she "bought" those invitations!! I was thrilled.
Love the baby blocks! May have to get that cartridge just in case I get asked to do more. lol
