Cricut Invitations

A while back I was asked to make some sea themed baby shower invitations. I had a blast mass producing with my cricut so I made some pirate invitations and dinosaur invitations for my niece and nephew while I was at it. I cut them all out on my Cricut using Sure Cuts A Lot software and .SVG files from Just So Scrappy Cuts. Oh man do they have some awesome critters! In typical Amy style, I inked the edges of every single piece. It felt like it took me a lifetime but it really did make them look even better. I glued all of the pieces together using Mod Podge in a fine tip squeeze bottle.

Supplies:
Cricut Cutting Machine
.SVG cutting files for Sure Cuts A Lot 2
Mod Podge Matte Glue
Vintage Photo Distress Ink
