Make a Cricut Jungle Card

March 2, 2016 by Pam Larmore 4 Comments

I’m super excited to share this Cricut Jungle Card today!  I have a friend who messages me with an occasional special request, and they are always fun.  As soon as she asked for a Jungle Card for a Baby Shower, an idea popped into my head.

Not all card ideas that enter my crazy brain, turn out the way I envision them, but this one was really close.  I’m so pleased with the finished card!

This Cricut Jungle Card using many different Cricut Cartridges, but if you have the Cricut Explore, the cut file is included in the post. With a cute lion, giraffes, elephant, and monkey, this card is perfect for a toddler's birthday or a baby shower for a new baby boy.

 

I have a Cricut Expression Machine that I absolutely LOVE, but when I received the Cricut Explore as a gift, it completely changed how I approached making cards like this.

With the Explore, I am able to design the card and adjust sizes on my laptop, so that everything is perfect before I start cutting.  How many times have you worked on a project and had to cut and recut the die cut shapes to get them the size you want?

If you would like to make this card, I have already figured out the sizes and included the cut file below.

Cricut Jungle Card - This little boy's card features a monkey, elephant, giraffes, jungle vine, palm trees, and a lion. It uses the Create A Critter, Create A Critter 2, Animal Kingdom, and Summer Love Cricut Cartridges. You can also design and cut this using the Cricut Explore. This is an amazing card with lots of dimension and detail!!

Measurements to Make This Cricut Jungle Card

  • Card Base is 12″x6″ tan Bazzill Cardstock, folded in half.
  • Dark brown cardstock mat measures 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″.
  • Yellow dotted background paper is from Stampin’ Up and measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.

Here is a list of the die cuts and Cricut Cartridges if you don’t have the Explore.   If you have the Cricut Explore, a link to the cut file is at the bottom of the page.

  • Vine – 1 1/4″
  • Elephant – 1 3/4″

Create A Critter 2 Cricut Cartridge

  • Monkey and Heart – 2 1/4″
  • Lion – 2 1/4″

Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge

  • Giraffes – 4 3/4″ and 4″

Summer Love Cricut Cartridge – This isn’t a very popular cartridge, but there are palm trees  and tropical leaves on several other Cricut Cartridges that you could use.

  • Palm Trees – 4 1/4″ – Cut 2

Cricut Jungle Card - This little boy's card features a monkey, elephant, giraffes, jungle vine, palm trees, and a lion. It uses the Create A Critter, Create A Critter 2, Animal Kingdom, and Summer Love Cricut Cartridges. You can also design and cut this using the Cricut Explore. This is an amazing card with lots of dimension and detail!!

I really enjoy making cards with lots of layers, textures, and dimension.  To get great depth for this card, I put pop dots under the lions face, the taller giraffe, the monkey, and the elephant.  By using pop dots or dimensional tape and overlapping die cuts, you can create a really visually please project.

To finish this card, I added Stickles glitter glue to the vine and palm trees.


If you have the Cricut Explore, here is the JUNGLE CARD CUT FILE.
