My niece got a Cricut for Christmas but hadn't really used it much. She then became pregnant with her 3rd child and wanted to use the Cricut to make her invitations and decorations for the shower. She spent the day with me and we went over some Cricut basics. We created a sample invitation with an envelope.
She also wanted me to show her how to make large paper rose to include in her decorations. There are plenty of How To videos. I did roughly follow the directions found on Sweet Red Poppy, https://sweetredpoppy.com/how-to-make-large-paper-flowers/ to make this Rose Gold Paper Flower banner backdrop for her Shower photos. I used foam core board to adhere the flowers and leaves. I also used floral wire to make hooks to make hanging up the banner easy. I used these instructions to make the Rose Gold leaves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydGL-Dyp7QU. I purchased the Rose Gold paper at Michaels but I had to go to several Michaels over the course of 2 weeks to get all the paper I thought I might need. I did get extra because the Rose Gold paper is only one sided meaning the Rose Gold color was only on one side while the other side is the color of brown craft/butcher paper.
Credo,
Lisa
