Enchanted Forest Baby Shower INvitations
Supplies:
- Blank Invitations and Envelopes
- Blue Sky Patterned Paper
- Textured Cardstock – Green, Brown, Mint
- Fiskars Grass Punch
- Neutrals Cardstock
- Vellum
- Super Sticky Red Tape
- Light Blue Ribbon
- Cricut Machine
To make the outside of the invitation, I started with some blue sky paper and cut it to fit the top 2/3 of the card. I cut a piece of green textured cardstock to fit the bottom 1/3 of the card and used my Fiskars grass punch to cut out the grass design.
The deer and the owl were cut using my Cricut and the Create a Critter cartridge. This has got to be one of my favorite cartridges. The critters are so cute! For the owl, I used mint textured card stock, light tan card stock, brown card stock and light brown card stock.
For the deer, I used brown textured card stock, light tan card stock and black card stock.
I printed the saying onto vellum, cut it out, and attached it with super sticky red tape. I made a small bow with blue ribbon and used more red tape to attach the bow to the vellum. This also worked to hide the piece of tape I used to attach the vellum to the card. You could also use a glue gun to attach the vellum and ribbon to the card.
On the inside, I was originally planning on printing the baby shower invitation information directly to the blank card, but my printer would jam every time I would feed one through. So, I improvised and printed out the details on plain white card stock and adhered it to the inside of the card.
