My Scrap Chick Gift Sets and Handmade Flowers

Hello Friends!! Hey. . .I haven't posted for two days! Sorry about that but I was busy. . . .doing what you ask? Well, first of all I cleaned up my craft room a little. Nothing major but it was such a mess that it was sucking up my creative mojo. I, initially, was going to do a complete overhaul of my room but decided against it. I've done an overhaul three times already and with time it just returns back to where I started before I overhauled it. It's a losing battle! LOL! So. . .what I'm going to do is organize one section at a time.

Okay. . .I have a lot of projects to talk about so let me get started!! First of all. . .all the cutting files for the cards, gift bag and box, and flowers were all created using myscrapchick.com files. For those who are not familiar with myscrapchick.com, they sell cutting files for various machines (Cricut, Craft Robo, etc.) such as SVG, DSD, AI, KNK, etc. . For those who don't have a cutting machine, templates are provided in PDF so you won't be left out in all the fun. . :)

Each Friday, myscrapchick.com sends out a newsletter via email and if you sign up, each week they give out free files so hey, I would sign up if I were you. . .:) They also have a Facebook Fan Page. . .become a fan and share your projects with others.

The two boxes I created that coordinate with my card were created using the "Bigger Bags" file. The files allow you to cut on two sheets of card stock or designer paper so that you can create a bigger bag then you normally can if you were to cut on one sheet. My cards measure 5.25 x 5.25" and if you look at the photo, my card is much smaller than the bag and box. You can fit a nice gift in the bags. There are 12 different patterns of bags/boxes you can create and I'll be creating a bunch of them this week to share with you. My card above was created using the "30 Boxes and More" file set. . .this set is awesome because there's so many files in this set that you can create a variety of box shapes, card shapes, and different frames that go along with them. The variety is endless.

The flowers on my card and boxes were created using the "$1 Cut Flower" File. I made a whole bunch of different flowers using a "handmade flower" technique. If I can find the time, I'm hoping to create a tutorial on how to create the flowers this week.

I created 2 sentiments for my cards/bags. If you want to use them for your projects, you can download it by clicking on the photo. Don't "save image" by right clicking on the image because the size will be too small and the when you try to make it bigger when printing, it will appear fuzzy looking so click on the photo and go through the download process from the 4shared.com download.

Here is another gift set I created using the same files for my first gift set. I also used the "$1 Floral Frames" file to create the floral label on my card and box.

I created a sentiment for my card and box. The sentiments are lyrics from one of my favorite Christian song "Open Hands" by Matt Papa. Because I'm planning to donate the gift sets to my church, I wanted to add sentiments that would have a worship meaning to them.

Again, to download the sentiment, click on the image and download the sentiment from 4shared.com rather than right clicking and saving the image.

Here are all the different flowers I created using the different flower files from myscrapchick.com. I'll see if I can create the tutorial on how to create these pretty handmade flowers.

Okay. . .this post is way long so I'll end it here! I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
