Mother's Day Gift Wrap

I decided to have some fun with my Mother's Day gift wrapping.  Have you seen these wonderful new paper and fabric flowers from Prima?

I am totally in love with them! The colors are so pretty and the detail is amazing!  The fabric ones really remind me of vintage millinery flowers...

Anyway, I thought they would be the perfect thing for dressing up my Mother's Day packages.  I began by wrapping my gifts with some pretty pink flocked paper.  It's actually scrapbook paper, but it looks like vintage wallpaper!

I added some vintage seam binding ribbon...

Then I just started embellishing my gift boxes with the pretty Prima flowers.

This was so fun!

And I really like how they turned out.

I may have gone a little overboard...one simple flower would look lovely as well. And I could totally see using these to decorate a simple box of candy.  What an easy way to make a gift a little more special!

Now, a few bits of news....

I must apologize for my lack of posting lately, but I have been super busy working away on my new on-line shop. I am really hoping to have it up and running early this summer, but there is still much to do. I plan to have lots of vintage finds, craft supplies, and pretty things for you and your home, so please stay tuned...

I also wanted to assure you all that I have not abandoned Target Tuesdays - it's just that I didn't find anything too spectacular in the store these last few weeks. But, Target Tuesday will definitely be back!

What kind of scrapbook paper is that? Your package is beautiful!

Thank you.

I can't wait to see what's in your store! I'm a huge seam binding fan (hard to find!) and I love dyeing it different colours, just because.
Love this flocked paper, btw! It so reminds me of the Anna Griffin papers I covet. I love the designs so much, I have been known to frame them :)

[Glory]

Wow, I would have a hard time opening a gift that was wrapped that beautifully!!
Ooh, and I'll be very excited to see your new store... I'll be first in line! =)
And I really love your Target Tuesday posts, but I also really appreciate you not just posting an old thing simply because it's Tuesday. We'll wait for the good stuff!
