Playful Packaging & Waterside Retreat

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

  • Misty Moonlight cardstock for die cutting the three main pieces. You can fit all of these pieces on a piece measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
  • 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.
  • Misty Moonlight measuring 2 x 1/2 for sentiment.
  • Sentiment from May Paper Pumpkin Kit. It’s so perfect for this themed packet. Stamped in Secret Sea.
  • Hole Punch Assortment
  • Linen Thread
  • Loose Anchor Trinkets
  • Flat 4 x 8 Cellophane Bags. (I trimmed a few inches off of mine.)

From my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I offer step-by-step instructions for creating with Stampin’ Up!’s Playful Packaging Dies. Look for a few tips, and see several other samples.

I hope you’re as tickled with these dies as I am. I have so many other ideas. Thanks for visiting today!
