Have I told you that I really, really love treat and small gift packaging? For each in person class, I create a fun table gift for the attendees to take home. I’ll admit, I didn’t purchase Stampin’ Up!’s new Playful Packaging Bundle when it first came out. What was I thinking? Then, I borrowed it from a friend, and I was hooked. I bought my own. Oh, my gosh, it is so fun to play with. In the next few posts, I’ll be sharing some of my creations. But, I can tell you, the options are almost endless. Be sure to watch the video below to see how this pieces come together. I also share a bunch of other samples.
Measurements and Details

A piece of Waterside Retreat 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper measuring about 4 1/4 x 2. I selected the paper images that would work for my “lifesaving” theme. Find the life jackets on one sheet and the buoys on another sheet.
