Floral Boho Chic Baby Girl Shower with the Cricut Maker
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.
What a Floral Boho Chic Baby Shower we had waiting for Baby Ellie to arrive into the world! The Cricut Maker made everything come together seamlessly! First we designed the invitation and had the Cricut Maker cut them out!
We wanted to make decorations for the Baby Shower that could be used for Baby Ellie or in her nursery TOO!
So we started with a Boho Chic sign for the Baby Shower and Ellie’s new nursery! “Bloom & Grow” Baby Ellie! The Cricut Maker smoothly cut out the iron on for the sign. During the shower, we used the Cricut EasyPress to iron on “Bloom & Grow” to the wooden sign , so all the ladies could feel like they were decorating Baby Ellie’s Nursery! Ohhh….. it is looking so beautiful!
But then…. just because we CAN, we cut out a small “Bloom and Grow” for a Baby Onesie we made with the Cricut Maker! YES! You read that right…. Simplicity has sewing patterns in Cricut Design Space Software to make a Baby Onesie!
I used the Simplicity Pattern for a Baby Bodysuit to make the white baby onsie! The Cricut Maker cuts out the knit fabric like butter with perfect notches for matching up your pattern.
And YES! You see darling newborn baby shoes we made for Baby Ellie’s Boho Chic Baby Shower. Soooo fun! And look at the baby bib patterns in the Cricut Design Space too! I used the “Bib” Simplicity Pattern with the pink dot on it!
Log into Cricut Design Space to check out all sewing patterns! Celebrating life is endless with the Cricut Maker!
A new little girl needs to be decked out with a smart pair of shoes her grandma made! I can’t believe that the Cricut Maker with the Rotary Cutting Blade has now added COBBLER to my list of maker skills! We will do a LIVE video making these cute little shoes on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube!
Supplies needed for the Simplicity Baby Shoes are simple acrylic felt you probably have laying around your home, cotton fabric and Pellon WonderUnder. Really, it is that simple to make these shoes!
Baby Shower Decorations
Let me highlight a few decorations we made for Baby Ellie’s room before the tutorial. How about putting a bunch of flowers in a cardboard “E” for Ellie? You could cut out all of those flowers with paper or fabric on the Cricut Maker too!
How about a Welcome Baby Ellie Banner? The print and cut feature is easy to do on the Cricut Maker!
If there’s a Welcome Banner, then how about a clothing line of baby laundry and outfits waiting for sweet Baby Ellie? We also used lots of wild flowers & succulents to decorate with baby pictures of Mom and Dad hanging around for guests to check out!
When I saw my son’s baby photograph with mom’s baby photograph it was fun to daydream what Baby Ellie was going to look like!
Total life celebration and sweetness is coming soon! All of us at the baby shower are loving the baby VIBE.
The three dozen Krispy Kreme Pink donuts are the hit of the party along with Cheesy Ham Sliders, Fruit, Cupcakes and….
Cricut Baby Shoe Tutorial
It is so fun to celebrate a baby! But let’s get back to making heirloom keepsakes for baby with the Cricut Maker!
Find your Simplicity Baby Shoes pattern in Cricut Design Space! Iron on your Pellon WonderUnder to your showcase (floral) fabric to be cut out face down on the pink Cricut FabricGrip Cutting Mat.
You can see in this image with the cut fabric slightly lifted up how I cut the main floral print face down on the Pink Cricut Fabric Grip Mat with the Pellon WonderUnder ironed on to the back side of the floral fabric.
Before I cut the white felt on the Cricut Maker, I ironed pink polka dot white fabric to the felt. After you have ironed on the polka dot fabric with Wonder Under, then place the polka dot side of the felt facing down on the Cricut Pink FabricGrip Mat. The rotary cutter is perfect to use for cutting the inexpensive fabric bonded acrylic felt of course.
Increase the pressure to “MORE” on your Cricut Maker cutting machine with the Felt, Acrylic Fabric setting to go through the ironed on layer if you want to line your shoes with fabric like I did!
Look at how beautifully the Cricut Maker cut out all the pieces for the heirloom baby shoes sewn by grandma! Of course we decorate the Floral Boho Chic Baby Girl Shower with lots of succulents too!
Layout the pieces of the shoe fabrics to line up with the felt shapes!
Use your Cricut EasyPress to adhere the floral fabric to the backside of the felt cut out baby shoe pattern shapes! The sweet polka dot print is on the opposite side of the felt!
Now…. there are lots of ways to cut things….. but I sure love cutting materials to sew on my sewing machine with my Cricut Maker! I think it’s my sewing machine’s new best friend as they sit together all the time. The Cricut Maker cuts items out as I stitch them together!
I LOVE my antique scissors! BUT it sure is fun to modernize my sewing tool kit with the Cricut Maker!
Our Floral Boho Chic Baby Shower has a lovely greeting table!
We made more things for Baby Ellie’s Nursery room decor that we used for the Baby Shower! You could cut out the wooden “E” with your Cricut Maker and knife blade with Balsa Wood!
Don’t forget to pop back on over to the Cricut Baby Arrow Quilt that I designed and made for Baby Ellie too! What a magical Floral Boho Chic Baby Shower we had!
I’m so grateful that Ashley carried sweet Baby Ellie for nine months! Are you ready to see Baby Ellie?
Baby Ellie has arrived! Isn’t she just beyond beautiful? Professional photos of Baby Ellie and sweet pregnant Ashley by Sally June Photography in Utah check out her Instagram feed!
Happy Life Celebrating with the Cricut Maker & Cricut EasyPress!
