Zoo Hanger - Baby Shower Gift

Hello all of my Crafty Friends,

I saw this idea on the Oh Baby Blog Hop and fell in love!!!

Nancie over at A Little Piece of Me by Nancie, did this project

and it was so gorgeous I just had to try my own version.

I know my Niece will love this, any new Mom would.

I am going to make another one for a different shower soon,

but this time I will use Winnie the Pooh Characters.

I cut the Hanger from Cricut Cartridge Everyday Paper Dolls page 34. I selected fit to page on a 12 x 12 mat and it cut at 33”. I used a thick chipboard and I do not have a Deep Cut Blade, (need to get one though) so I chose to cut it a second time using the load paper & repeat last key features. It still did not cut clean through, maybe I should have cut 3 times, I used my craft knife to go along the edges again and then went over all the edges with a sanding block to clean up all of the edges. I then cut the Green polka dot paper to layer over the top again using the repeat last key.

I used Frame 1 from My Mom’s Attic Freebie at SVGCUTS

for the Green Frames (Size - 3.798 x 3.798 cut 12 times).

I used the simple shapes from Sure cuts a lot for my blue Squares

in the center of the frames (Size - 2.896 x 2.896 cut 12 times).

The adorable Animals are from the Jungle & Zoo Pals Paper

Piecings set at Little scraps of Heaven.

I used Sure Cuts Alot and cut each at these dimensions.

The Lion I cut at 11.355 X 5.099

The Giraffe I cut at 11.274 X 7.583

The Elephant I cut at 10.480 X 7.266

The Bottom Frame with the age in it, I printed the words

from My computer on Green paper, I then ran it throu my Cricut.

I used the Center Point feature and was able to cut around each word.

I chose the To/From tag from my Cricut Lacy Labels Cartridge.

The outer edge cut in blue I cut at 1" and the inner was the

layer feature cut at 1" and used the center point around the words.

I popped the word frame up on Pop ups.
