How To: Make a handsome cowboy birthday invitation with Cricut

Why ever would you want to throw a cowboy-themed party for your little cowboy? Two words: John Wayne. The epitome of wild West cool and the exemplar of the "strong and silent" type, John Wayne made the cowboy badass. So give your boy the coolest party in the world by creating a cowboy theme.

Start off by crafting these simple cowboy birthday invitations. Made using Cricut cartridges in Old West and A Child's Year, this birthday card is rugged and fun at the same time. A sky-blue background frames a red kid in his cowboy play gear and toy horse, and a ribbon made from raffia borders the left edge, adding a touch of whimsy.
