Shabby Chic Mother's Day Gift Basket

Gift Basket Idea for best friend, girl friends, Mother's Day or any a "just thinking about you" occasion.  I wanted to design a more feminine gift basket for Mother's Day this year.  And when I think of feminine, I instantly think of doilies, laces, pinks and flowers.  Of course, any color or theme can be used to create so many girly and frilly projects.  However, I decided to go with flowers, lace pampering and a "touch of chocolates" to complete my latest Mother's Day Gift Baskets for this year.  Thought all of my good pictures were lost, but somehow "Google" has them all safe, sound and protected for me.  I don't know if this is a good thing or not.  I'm just happy my pictures aren't lost forever.   I won't even get into my "back up storage" situation.  Hope you like the pictures.  Thanks so much for watching.  Please leave a comment if you can.

 

Baskets each have a personalized etched coffee mug for drinking the soothing teas included in each basket. 

Had so much fun creating the individual little boxes full of treats .  The paper stack used is called "Bloom" by My Mind's Eye. 

 

Tag included on each basket made with Stampabilities' "A Mother is" Stamp.

Elegant Easter Treats (Carrot Box)



Elegant Easter Treats



This carrot box was created to use hold treats during Easter Time. With color change of supplies, this box can be changed to use for any theme. Box was cut using the Cricut Cartridge, Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2. It is the ornament box. Got this idea from TX scrapper Mom. Had to change design some to use supplies I had on hand. Created many of these treat boxes and was lucky to snap a picture of one before I gave them all out. Just too cute!

Workshop Scraps by Brenda: Cricut and Crafts

PRINT AND CUT TAGS CREATED USING CRICUT AND INJECT PRINTER

First, I created a page of Avery "labels" using a digital scrapbooking program template and printed it out on regular printer paper.You can also use the standard Avery labels in Microsoft Word program.

Next, I created a page of tags using the Gypsy and Cricut markers instead of the cutting blade.I tried to line each tag up visually to match Avery label template. It took several attempts because I had to keep "tweaking" tag locations on the Gypsy virtual mat until they matched perfectly to my printed tags on the inkjet.I just held printed label sheet and the "drawn" Cricut sheet of tags up together in front of bright light to check if the aligned like I wanted them to.

Once, the set up work was done, I printed multiple pages of my labels on cardstock (had to cut down to 8 1/2" by 11" to fit printer. Next, I ran cardstock paper instead of actual labels through my printer to print the tags. Lastly, I lined up printed cardstock on Cricut mat and "cut" out tags. I made 250 of them for wedding favor boxes.
