Sewn Fabric Box - Craftmad Swap and Mother's Day

For our Craftmad Sewing Swap in April we had to make a Fabric Box.  I found a great tutorial on Allison Gryski's blog.  I was surprised at how quickly and easily everything came together.  I really loved the fabrics and topped it off with this beautiful flower I am sure I received at Christmas time from the lovely Beth.  You can see the other Fabric Boxes in Craftmad's Gallery here.

I had planned on buying my Mum something for Mother's Day but I couldn't find what I wanted.  So I got to thinking that it is a very long time since I have actually made my Mum anything.  Mum is a crafter too......so I thought this Fabric Box will get put to good use.  Mum loves greens and I had this fabric sitting in my stash.  This time I created my own flower with by Scalloped Edge Spellbinder dies and felt.  To package up the Fabric Box I decided to decorate a brown paper bag I had acquired.  I knew I had a very similar patterned paper in my collection.  So with that, light blue paper and green bazzill card stock I decorated the brown paper bag.  I used my Spellbinder Edgeabilities on the papers.  Then I decided to create a matching flower this time from papers.

Wishing you all a terrific week.
