Good afternoon,
I was going to save this picture for later....but after receiving so many awesome comments and emails I decided to share it today. (Weekend posts may be headed in the direction of just fun stuff.)
My picture is of the gift I covered with the brown wrapping paper & the Figgy Pudding Flower. (Can't find my big roll of brown paper so I dug out a grocery bag and cut it apart).
Here's the picture of the flower before I added it to the box.
I used the Flower Folds Die and the Scallop Circle #2 Die to make the flowers and the Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon matches the Figgy Pudding Fabric. I thought about using the Chocolate but I went with the Olive since it's one of my favorite colors.
Have a great day!

Angie for a year I have been saving the brown paper out of our Stampin' Up! boxes. I love to recycle! It makes great bags and wrapping paper. I iron it flat and stamp on it to make it into a bag. Love the flowers. Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us.

What a stunning package! You are so creative with any art medium that you touch. This is a winner. I think I may have to get out my sewing machine and "play".

Omigosh! How perfectly fabulous!! You don't even need a present inside.....that gorgeous flower IS the gift! Love it! Can hardly wait to try it. Are you giving directions on the layers of each flower......using batting or just fabric?

That is really stunning, such a traditional and classy look would suit gifts for ladies of all ages and I bet you could sell your work for a good amount!

Love these! Is there a tutorial? I have some vintage fabrics that were my great-aunt's that would be perfect for these.

Oh...that is super!!! How pretty! I'd love to have one to just look at for decoration. You are making me ache to get my fabric and machine out!!!
Truly, very lovely!!!

OMG WOW! This is gorgeous and such an awesome idea. I don't have a sewing bone in my body and would be intimidated to try this but you've done an awesome job. Hugs, Maria

Awesome packaging! Great job on your flowers. They look like so much fun. I just love fabric squares. TFS!

How beautiful! The presentation alone is enough to be thankful and appreciative. I would be happy just to get the beautiful wrapped flower. You are such an inspiration. For now, I'll be admiring your "new" sewing fabric projects. I am not ready to venture into that yet. Thanks.

So pretty I would hate to open it! Thank you for sharing your project with all of us!

Beautiful present! How super cute this would be to receive and to give! Thanks for the inspiration!

Talk about taking a gift to another level...WOW, how beautiful. Someone will be so happy to receive a package so pretty. What you put inside wouldn't even matter. Fabric & diecuts...another addiction.

Absolutely beautiful. I have always loved the look of brown wrapping paper. Wish I could sew to make some of these, but sewing machines scare me. I wouldn't want to open the present!
Posted by: Diane Burns | October 18, 2009 at 06:32 PM
This is my favorite thing you have presented so far! Any chance on you selling these flowers? I don't have the big shot or a sewing machine. :(

Angie - this is just BEAUTIFUL gift packaging! Love it! Thanks so much for sharing!

wow who needs printed paper when you have this flower beautiful. Did you do a tutorial for the flowers? Thanks for sharing.

What an beautifully wrapped gift. I can't wait to get my die to start making these flowers.
Posted by: Jennifer | October 18, 2009 at 04:58 PM
Oh my gosh! That is beautiful!!!
Did you put batting in between the layers of fabric, or is it just two layers of fabric?
Thanks for sharing you beautiful creation with us!
Hugs,
Jen
