Baby Shower Card

My daughter is going to a baby shower and asked me to make a card. This is what I came up with.

This is a 7" x 5" card. The striped cardstock mat on the front and inside is 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" and the white mat on the inside is 6 1/4" x 4 1/4". The striped cardstock is from the My Mind's Eye Party Time stack and all solid cardstock is Recollections.

The cut on the front is from the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge (page 63) cut at 3 1/2". The blocks on the inside are from the New Arrival Cricut cartridge (page 124) cut at 1 1/2". The sentiment is from the Close To My Heart New Arrival stamp set, and is stamped with Close To My Heart's Archival Blank ink pad.

Here are pictures of my Gypsy screens I used to make the cuts.

I used the hide and contour feature on my Gypsy for the Layer 2 cut because there were three colors needed for the different items on that layer.  I forgot to take a picture of all my papers on my mat.

I hope my daughter's friend likes the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Shower Invitation - CricutDIVA DT Post

I made this invitation for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law. She wanted pink camouflage and Winnie The Pooh, so here is what I came up with.

The base of the invitation is white cardstock, and it is an A2 size card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). I then added a light pink layer that measures 4" x 5 1/4". The next layer is the pink camouflage cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 5". Baby Shower is from the New Arrival Cricut cartridge.It was cut at 2" using the Shadow feature. (When you see the screenshot of my Gypsy, please disregard the Baby Shower in the upper left corner of the screen. When I cut this, some of the letters were so thin, they tore. That is why I used the Shadow feature for this.) I cut Winnie The Pooh from the Pooh Font Set Cricut cartridge, and he was cut at 2 1/2".

For the inside of the invitation, the camouflage layer is 4" x 5 1/4" and the light pink layer is 3 3/4" x 5". I bought the stamp at Michael's and used the Close To My Heart Archival Black Ink Pad  for the stamping.

All solid cardstock is Recollections and I bought the pink camouflage paper from Stampin' Station.

Here is the screenshot of my Gypsy.

My future daughter-in-law and her Mom loved the way the invitations turned out. I'm thrilled they liked it.
