For my first project, I decided to make a treat bag for some green Sixlets candies. Sixlets were one of my favorite candies growing up, and the local candy boutique carries them in all the colors, so I made a mix of three different greens and added them to a clear treat bag.
Next I pulled out the Build a Booth Die, and cut two of the booths from desert storm cardstock. I then cut all of the panels in the same color cardstock. To connect my two panels, I pulled out the tray from the Candy Caddy Die and die cut it. I then measured the width of the booth and added 1/2 inch and cut down the candy caddy die cut. I then scored that at the cut end at 1/2" and made slits to mimic the tabs on the other side. The smallest wood pieces from the Build a Booth set are the perfect size to cover the side of your tray if you cut just inside each of the nail holes. I then inked up the panels and adhered them, adding little green gemstones as "nails".
I dressed the booth up with the Clover Add-Ons, cutting the ribbon from gold cardstock, then ink blending the clovers and letters. I then decorated a big gold paper clip with one of the shamrock dies, then added a circle and the 17 cents details.
When I saw the size of the pot of gold in the Gnome Dies: Pot of Gold Add-ons I immediately thought it would be perfect to make a shaker. Fast forward to me sitting down at my desk and seeing the Lindor chocolates I had purchased the boys for Valentine's day. They love the extra dark, which just happens to have a black and gold wrapper. My little brain got twirling and I decided to make a little treat box for a chocolate. I used two pot of gold die cuts, cutting a hole in the center of one with the coin die from the same die set. I then made a little platform to hold them together by cutting cardstock approximately 1-3/8" x 2.5", scoring 3/8" on each of the long ends, then gluing between the two pots. I cut the coins from gold cardstock, then added the chocolate and glued the two pieces together at the top.
The sentiment is from the Clovers for Sale set, and I embossed in gold, then cut with the rectangle from the Build a Booth die set and matted with gold. I used the clover balloon and string from the Gnome Dies: Pot of Gold Add-ons to make a little sign, then finished with the 17 cents die cuts from the Build a Booth: Clover Add-ons.
