What is a Cricut machine?
A Cricut cutting machine is an at home smart cutting machine that connects to your computer or mobile device. In a similar way that a printer works with your computer to print something, the Cricut machine works with your computer to cut out a design.
The Cricut machine is compatible with different cutting blades to cut over 200+ materials. Don’t let that overwhelm you though as the standard cutting blade that comes with all Cricut cutting machines is all you need to cut paper for a DIY sunshine baby shower.
What can you make with a Cricut for a baby shower?
Using a Cricut cutting machine you can cut out a wide variety of projects, but the best part is that you can customize everything. You can choose the exact colors, you can add a name or age and you can make as many or as few as you need.
Here are a few DIY Sunshine Party ideas for a baby shower you can make with a Cricut Machine:
- Banner: Add the name of the new mom or the word Baby
- Cake Topper: Include a special phrase like ‘little miss sunshine’ or the word B A B Y
- Diaper cake topper: Use the cake topper on a diaper cake
- Cupcake Toppers
- Favor boxes
DIY Sunshine Party for a baby shower: Favor Box
Use the favor box cut file from the little sunshine collection to create super cute, matching favor boxes.
The favor box uses the scorning tool on the Cricut machine along with the standard blade that comes with all Cricut machines. Thick cardstock would work well for these DIY Sunshine Party favor boxes. I used a lightweight cardstock and the DIY Sunshine Party Baby Shower Favor boxes still turned out well.

- Cricut scoring tool for the Maker/3
- Cricut scoring stylus for the Explore Air 2/3
Here are a few ideas that are the perfect fit to add to these DIY Sunshine Party favor boxes:
DIY Sunshine Party for a baby shower: Banner
Make the new expecting momma a DIY sunshine banner using your Cricut machine. Use Cricut Design Space to add the new moms name, the babys’ name or the word B A B Y. The little sunshine collection banner pendants are shaped perfectly to show off a cute and happy little sun design.
DIY Sunshine Party for a baby shower: Cake Topper
I am not much for baking but I love to dress up a store bought cake with personalized cake toppers.
There is more than one way to use a cake topper for a baby shower. If you are skipping a cake in favor of cupcakes, use a cake topper as decoration for a diaper cake. Another option is as decorations or signs – such as inside a wreath.
DIY Sunshine Party for a baby shower: Gift Tags
Small details matter and matching gift tags are the perfect way to wrap up DIY baby shower decor. Use the gift tags for gifts to the new mom or with the favor boxes to say thanks to the attendees.
