Nautical Cricut Scrapbook Layout

Hi, I’m Marie Dabbs from The Inspiration Vault. I’m lucky enough to call Pam my friend and I’m thrilled to be writing a guest post for her and P.S. I Love You Crafts.

We’ve often discussed how much we both love nautical crafts, so I knew I had to make this Nautical Cricut Scrapbook Layout for her.  Now Pam has another layout to add to her Beach Scrapbook Layouts.

The washi tape flags were fun to make and a great addition to this page. You will be ready to scrapbook your sailing, fishing trip, or boating photos after creating this great scrapbook layout.

I’m a huge fan of Target’s dollar area at the front of their stores, and last month I found some very cute nautical-themed craft supplies. I’ll be using some of those for this layout.

When I think nautical, I think anchors, flags, rope, and compasses. For the compass, I used my Cricut Edge to Edge cartridge. I love that you can adjust the sizes of all of the images to suit your needs. I also used the Create a Friend cartridge to make the “AHOY” cut, but you could always make one yourself in Design Space.

Cute Cricut Squirrel Scrapbook Page

by 7 Comments

A scrapbook page with a Cricut squirrel isn’t just for fall.  With all of the projects that I have on this site that feature the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge, I’m sure you’ve already guessed that it is one of my favorites!

Cute Cricut Scrapbook Page with a squirrel, owl, tree branch, and a tree. Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge

You may usually think about squirrels being a fall animal, but here in Maryland, they are spunky all year long.  This Cricut Scrapbook page looks more like spring or summer with the bright green and leafy tree and tree branch.

Supplies Needed to Make this Cricut Squirrel Scrapbook Page

  • One 12×12 piece of patterned paper or solid cardstock for the background. I used a green dotted paper from Stampin’ Up.  I really like using something with a small pattern or a texture for the background of scrapbook pages.
  • 11″ x 4″ piece of patterned paper (trees).
  • 1 1/2″ x 8″ piece of patterned paper (pink floral).  Even though there is a little bit of pink in this scrapbook page, I think it could still be used for a boy.
  • 1 1/2″ tree branch from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
  • 3″ Owl from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
  • 3″ Cricut Squirrel from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
  • 4 1/2″ tree from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge.  Save some of the cut out leaves for the tree branch.
  • Firefly Stickles
  • Scrapbook Adhesive – I like to use EZ Runners tape adhesive
  • Zig Glue Pen
  • Foam tape or pop dots

If you have trouble choosing adhesives, visit Cardmaking and Scrapbooking Adhesives to learn about the different kinds and how they are used.

How to Make this Cricut Squirrel Scrapbook Page

  1. After you have cut the layers for the Cricut Squirrel, Owl, Tree Branch, and Tree, attach all of the pieces using a glue pen and set aside.
  2. Using Scrapbook Adhesive, attach your patterned papers to the 12×12 background papers, following the photo above for placement.
  3. Attach the tree branch and the tree to the page using tape runner adhesive.
  4. Use Pop Dots or foam tape to “pop up” the Cricut squirrel and owl.  Ta daaa!  You’re done!
