Over the Moon Baby Shower
This week it is all about sweet little babies here on the Cricut Blog. Designer, Charity Hassel, has created the most adorable shower idea that would be fit for any new little bundle of joy! Check it out below!
…………………………………………………
Hi everyone! It’s Charity here to share a few baby shower ideas today! I really love the cow jumping over the moon image on the Cricut Imagine Hey Diddle Diddle cartridge and decided it would make a fun theme for a baby shower. The blue and yellow colors are great for a baby reveal party or maybe a party for a mom who is waiting till the birth to find out if it’s a boy or girl!
The banner was simple to make, especially using the Imagine images of the cow and moon. Simply choose the image, select the layers option for that image. I did not want to use the whole image with the blue background for my banner. I only wanted the cow and moon pieces. Once you’ve selected the layers option, begin to delete the images you do not want. Next, resize the cow and moon, print and cut. Small cupcake liners were added to the banner for an extra touch of fun.
It’s the little touches, like a coordinating cupcake topper, that make a party even more fun! I simply printed and cut the cow, added a yellow circle to my cupcake topper.
Send guests home with goodies (maybe a gourmet cookie) placed inside a milk carton shaped box. Cut the box using the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 cartridge. Add the image of the cow over the moon and some pretty ribbon.
Hope this gives you a few ideas for hosting a baby shower. This theme could even work for baby’s first Birthday!
