There are three more days left in the 40% off sale at Lifestyle Crafts and today I wanted to share one of my favorite die templates with you!  The Treat Carrier  looks like one of the fast-food drink carriers, but it’s much smaller – measuring in at 2.6″ x 5.4″ x 5.5″.

This particular die includes 7 pieces. You’ll need to cut the handle and box portions twice to create both sides of the container. I truly love this die! If I were to make one change, I would make the long handle die a bit shorter, so it would fit onto a standard die-cutting plate. As it is, you’ll need an extended plate on your machine OR you’ll just need to pass it though twice. I was able to use my Fiskars Fuse, and it worked perfectly.

I went with a “garden fresh” theme for this gift set …cause y’all know I love food themed crafts!

IMG_9175On the left side of the treat container, I created little recipe cards and envelopes using the Mini Pocket Die – another one of my faves. I also included some tags using the banner die from the Tape It Kit. On the right, I placed a mini terracotta pot, filled with some fresh basil.

Each recipe card was stamped with fun images and space for filling in the recipe instructions. I’m thinking this would make an awesome housewarming gift!

  1. My least favorite veggie is brussel sprouts. No matter how many times I try them, I just can’t like them. Yuck!

  2. there are so many! Probably brussel sprouts. They look like little heads and smell terrible!

  3. Mushrooms! I try ever so hard to eat them especially as I get older but my goodness I just cant stand the texture! It’s that slippery/slimey feel that totally puts me off!!! Have to blend it up to get it down me! Blech

  4. I am a vegetarian so I love all fruits and veggies but if I had to pick a least favorite it woud be grapefruit. Although I love fresca grapefruit flavored soda! Fingers crossed!

  5. Mushy any veggie – give me fresh and lightly steamed please! Overlooked brocalli is the absolute worst offender.

  6. Least favorite veggie or fruit….I would have to say turnips. And I really had to think hard about it because…I like my veggies 🙂

  7. your carrier is adorable!

    and please please please don’t ask me to eat brussel sprouts. just truly don’t like them. stinky, icky, pew.

    now can I tell you how I REALLY feel? grins!

  8. Love your adorable project! That’s a great template, and you’ve showcased it so beautifully! Hmmm….love my veggies – guess jalapeno peppers would be my least fave! I actually love them, but they don’t at all love me 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  9. I have a few veggies on ‘the list’ but I think beets win as the least favorite – might as well just eat dirt.

  10. Oh my… I do NOT like Okra! My aunt made it for us once (shes from So. Carolina) and it was so slimy! I will pass on Okra thank you!

  11. Your garden fresh gift package is beautiful and a real treat to behold! My least favorite fruit or vegetable…I actually like most of them, but one I don’t want to eat too much of is Brussels sprouts as they are incredibly bitter to me. Thanks for the chance to win.

  12. This is a really cute little carrier! My least favorite veggie (that I’ve tasted) is turnip – there may be others that I haven’t tasted yet!

  13. You make the most delightful creations… They’re always so classy and sophisticated. I want to create as beautifully as you do! My least favorite veggie is okra *puke*

  14. But I Looove papaya!!

    You always have such fabulous ideas!! I would love to win this die and give it a try myself!!

    Thank you!

  15. I really can not bring myself to eat mushrooms. I’ve tried many times, but they just gross me out! Love this idea!

  16. Brussel Sprouts for sure! When I was little my mom
    Made Brussel sprouts and made me sit at the table until I ate them.
    I sat there for hours until my parents gave in.

  17. Amber – you and all the peeps who read this are about to think I’m nuts for admitting this!!! But I’m “allergic” to blueberries. I don’t know what it is, the colour and the taste are just so yucky to me! I love most of the others in the berry family (raspberries are my fave), but blueberries? No. I try a handful every summer to see if I’ve gotten over my “allergy” but the result is always the same. Insert Buckley’s face.

  18. My least favourite veggie is turnip. Don’t like the texture, the taste, or the smell. Yuck! Don’t like papaya either and lately it seems to be everywhere!
