DIY - Baby Birth Announcement Card

birth announcement
 

A few months ago I found out I was pregnant and it seems like time is just flying by. I haven’t done or prepped all of the things I saved to my Pinterest board and now it seems like im in a mad dash to do it all.

In addition to forgetting to take pregnancy milestone pictures I’ve also forgotten I need to create some announcement cards.

So here’s my super simple tutorial on how I made a DIY announcement card using my Cricut

Heres what you’ll need 

  • Clear 4” round disk (i ordered some off Amazon and it worked perfectly)

  • Cricut

  • Announcement graphic

  • Cricut weeding tools

  • Some acrylic paint of your choice  

  • Vinyl (color of your choice)

  • Transfer paper


Step 1 Create Graphic in design space

Since I haven’t chosen a baby name as yet im going with a simple “hello world”

create image in cricut design space

Step 2 Cut and weed the design

Be sure to attach your design together in Cricut design space so that all of the elements remain in place before cutting. Weeding the design might be a little tricky because the graphics are small but it takes some time and patience.

Step 3 Transfer graphic

Using some transfer paper - align graphic with clear disc and press down to transfer

Step 4 Paint it

To add some pop to your design I would paint the back of my disc to really make the colors stand out

when the paint dries thats it you’re all done!
