I'm so excited to have another packaging challenge - this time at SU-per Challenge #70!
One of the new suites in the Occasions 2015 catalog that has most fascinated me is the From The Garden bundle (page 20, for those catty-watchers among us!) On the opposite page from THAT is the totally AWESOME new Berry Basket Bigz die. Don't tell hubby, but I seriously mobbed the UPS driver when he pulled up with this package, lol - he didn't even have to get out of the truck, I was RIGHT THERE at the curb waiting for him! It wasn't creepy, I swear!
The Handpicked framelit set that goes with this has so many more shapes than the stamp set, too - I'm a little hopeful that we might see additional gardening sets to go with, that would be so COOL! Yes, I still have high hopes for my gardens here, lol. I've even made it through two days in a row of frost - that what all those pool towels are really for, right??
ANYhow, I made up a quick trio of the baskets to have on hand for incidental gift-giving, with chummy flower-markers, too. (Hint: I did a backing in chipboard for those to make them a bit more substantial.) I envision adding a little token as I find them, and bagging the whole thing in a cello bag to keep it together. Hm, need a set of note cards to go with! Maybe tomorrow...
