Baby Shower Sign

Used the "fit to page" option on my Cricut and cut a large gold circle.  Also cut "Baby Shower" in background and regular setting, from New Arrivals.

I cut holes in the bottom of the sign and threaded through ribbon, on which I hung a "Muggle Born" onesie that I had bought on Etsy from AMK Stitches.

Making BABY Signs for a Shower

For these decorations, I took the cut out letters from another "BABY" sign (Cursive 101; See yesterday's post...) and covered them with Martha Stewart glitter in gold.  I used a zip dry fat, FAT pen (it's like 1.5" wide) and smeared it across all the letters, sprinkle with glitter, tap the excess off and let dry.  Makes a clean coat.  Then I cut the background maroon and pink using Lacy Labels.  Punched the top of the letters and hung with gold curling ribbon.

I also framed one of the invitations I had made and put in front of all the candles and decorations.

Baby Shower Decorations

More baby shower decorations! 

Maroon, gold/cream, and pink.  I cut large cursive letters using Cricut Cartridge Cursive 101 - about 9" - from cream paper.  I used pink paper as the background of the letter, but kept the cut out letter for another string of "BABY".  I used Cricut Cartridge Lacy Labels to cut the maroon backgrounds for the letters.  Each corner is adorned with pink rhinestones and gold glitter.  I punched holes in the top and hung from gold curling ribbon.

(I was also alternating with hanging from yarn, but yarn stretches so I found the curling ribbon a better bet.)

(it's a girl; definately need winter boots in the winter and a tutu never hurt)

Floral Napkin Holders

For the baby shower, I wrapped the flatware in napkins and created napkin holders using two different paper flower files: Calendula and Aster. (see top of my blog for links to download both files for free, if you have an older version of Sure Cuts a Lot.)

I cut the flowers using maroon, and two shades of pink paper, at 3 inches.  I assembled the flowers, and put gold glitter glue in the centers.  After drying, I flipped the flowers over and put a dot of glue in the center of the back of the flower.  I cut strips of gold curling ribbon (about 10" long) and glued the center to the back of the flower.  After this dried, I bent back the flower petals and tied the flowers onto my rolled napkins.

I do like the Calendula one better.

Baby Burp Cloth Roses

I took six pink and white burp cloths to make large roses for baby shower decorations. Precut ribbon (I used gold curling ribbon) to about 6-8 inches.  Lay one burp cloth out and fold in half lengthwise (or three times) so that the cloth is about 2 inches wide.  Start rolling in from one end, with the ruffled edge remaining out.  Take the ribbon and tie it tightly around the base of the "rose"; trim away excess ribbon after knotting.  Use cake pop or candy mold sticks and ease into the center of the burp cloth flower.

I put all six in a mason jar, tied ribbon around the rim, and created a little medallion from Cricut Cartridge New Arrivals.

Wedding #11 - Minneapolis

Bracha and Seth - Minneapolis, MN

Modeled after their Save the Date card, I pulled out navy and tan/gold.  The background in pale cream is cut at 8" from Storybook.  I sprayed it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, adhered it to the tan background and then trimmed away the excess edges.  The blue frame is cut from Storybook as well, but the stamped paper and background is cut from Lacy Labels.

My Aster Flower

See the top of my blog for a link to a page that lists all of my flowers and links to where you can download them for free.  Cut with Sure Cuts a Lot.

Baby Shower Invites

I am hosting a baby shower for my sister-in-law in December.  She didn't want girly colors and because it falls so close to Christmas, I wanted to design something more muted and victorian.  I created the invitation wording and design, and then used maroon and cream papers.  The baby feet are cut from the New Arrivals cartridge.  Each of the invitations is slightly different.

I had stamps made on Zazzle.com:
