Once again, I've decided to participate in the Papertrey Ink blog hop this month.
This month's challenge is all about wrapping it up, where we were encouraged to have fun experimenting with fabric & felt packaging ideas.
I have to confess, at first I was stumped. I'm quite frugal, so the thought of using a large piece of my covetted PTI felt to wrap a gift didn't really appeal to me. Then, however, I was browsing through a Christmas magazine at the Superstore and I was inspired! (I love it when that happens!)
I decided to wrap up one of the only gifts I have so far for Christmas--- it's for my brother's girlfriend, Tatiana. I wrapped the box in kraft paper and tied on some baker's twine. For the bow, I followed this tutorial and used some PTI pure poppy felt.
For the tag, I used PTI cardstock (rustic white), stamps (wreath for all seasons, love lives here: holidays), buttons, twine and dies (tag sale #3).
And there you go. One present wrapped and ready to give.... and three months early, too. ;)
Thanks for looking!

Leigh, I love this!! The felt flower is beautiful and so is your tag! I am a wee bit jealous you already have one Christmas gift ;)
Great packaging Leigh! I just love kraft and red together. The fringed flower also gave it a lot of punch. - Irma
What a gorgeous package. Love how you interpreted the challenge.
Excellent job! I love that tag!
Beautiful felt flower Leigh! I love usingnkraft paper for packaging too; you really dressed it up!
Beautiful! It is so Christmassy and wonderful. Kraft, red and green is always a winner.
Love the tag but the pom pom flower element really pops and is wonderful.
Awesome! The red blooming bow is fabulous!
you did a wonderful job on your tag, leigh! it's such a pretty package with that felt bow!
Brilliant idea. I totally forgot about those flowers. I have made a bunch of them, and the greatest thing is that you can use the cheap felt from Michaels, and it still looks great. Your wrapping is beautiful.
Beautiful package, I love your tag and flower !
Bless you Leigh you have made my day linking my project thankyou x
Fabulous as always Leigh! Love the felt bow, so pretty and the tag is perfect. I'm all about getting Christmas done and ready early this year, so yeah for that!

Hahahaha, Leigh, good job on using only a small amount of that "coveted" felt! ;) Love the tag and the felt flower is the perfect focal point!
"Brown paper packages tied up with string" really truly one of my favourite things and yours is perfect!! The tag is so cute!! thanks for your comments over on my blog : )
LOVE the pop of red on the package - your flower is the perfect embelishment & the tag is really lovely.
Love your packaging Leigh! I love using kraft paper to wrap packages - it really allows the "embellishments" to shine - like your wonderful red flower. :) And thanks for the link to the tutorial!
Beautiful way to wrap your gift! I adore Kraft paper for wrapping and your tag and felt flower are just gorgeous!
Love that frilly flower, Leigh! And what a stylishly wrapped gift - lucky brother's girlfriend! :)

This is so pretty. I love the buttons on the tag.
The bow/flower is so cool! I know I'd love the gift just based on the pretty packaging.

What a pretty package and tag, Leigh! Great job! You inspired me to give this a try :)
How pretty! The tag really shines against the simple kraft packaging.
Leigh, this is just simply amazing and I am so happy you included the link to see how your flower was made, just too cute.
This is so YOU, Leigh...clean, classic...and oh, so pretty!!!
I am a big fan of wrapping in kraft paper. Great tag. Love the punch of red. SentSue
Gorgeous tag!! I love how homespun it looks, but at the same time very simple!
I love the bright red flower against kraft. Now I want the loopy flower die! Great wrap idea Leigh.
This is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing the link for the directions on how to make the flower. It's so beautiful and so easy (always a winning combo.!)
I hear you on not wanting to use coveted supplies, but I have to say this was definitely worthy of your beautiful project! Love how you layered the buttons over your stamping too, and the stitching, all gorgeous!
oh such an adorable flower - and just the prettiest color (pure poppy) - and i love the tag - i can't wait to start making Christmas-y things!
This is wonderful!!!
I can imagine how proud you are to aleady have one package wrapped - don't forget where you put it! I make a note on the December calendar page! Great bow and idea. Thanks for sharing!
