Garden Fresh Gift Basket & A FLASH Giveaway! (Comments Closed)

IMG_9147

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!

    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.

  47. Thanh on said:

    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.

  48. Bonnie on said:

    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!

  49. Least fave–brussels sprouts. Yuck! Thanks for the cool giveaway

  50. Bev on said:

    I like most fruits and veggies; don’t really hate-hate any, except I can’t stand eating those hard bits of lettuce. It doesn’t even matter what kind of lettuce, just won’t eat those gross hard sections. What a fun flash, Amber. Bev

  51. oh goodness! your blog is like an awesome magazine!!! but if you posted about lima beans i would probably skip that page.

  52. Barbara H on said:

    I have to go with brussel sprouts. I have tried them many times over the years but they are just too strong tasting. Thank you for the opportunity to win these dies!

  53. Barb King on said:

    Oh, brussel sprouts are my worst! Love lifestyles dies, thanks for the chance to win.

  54. Tammy on said:

    My least favorite veggie/ fruit is Tomato’s yuck.

  55. BEETS are my least favorite veggie. I am drawn to the color and then I chock when I taste them. My least favorite fruit is cantaloupe and honey dew. I’ve been swooning over the sale items on Lifestyle Crafts, my cart is super full right now, YIPPY

  56. Elenora on said:

    I am not a fan of lima beans at all!

  57. nita k. on said:

    Mushrooms. The texture…

  58. Kathy H on said:

    This is funny! So many of the same ones. I like most fruits and veggies but I don’t like papayas of mangoes either.

  59. You make the CUTEST projects, and that veggie stamp set!? TOO ADORABLE!! I love the stamps that you design with–so perfectly DIY and SO you!!

    Ugh, I hate carrots….who knows why!?

  60. I hate green beans! But I can eat them. Just rather not though! :P

  61. Pamela A on said:

    Anything with Okra – do not like the texture and what’s that stuff that comes out of it?!? Your carrier is adorable – just like you!

  62. Laura on said:

    i know this sounds crazy, but…onions. Gross, gross, gross. Very small chunks are manageable, or fried onions are okay, but otherwise…Yuck!

  67. Denise Bryant on said:

    Least favorite fruit or veggie…. hmmm. Had to think about it. It would be kale.

  68. karen q on said:

    Such a wonderful gift idea. I can not stand asparagus. I would have no problem using it as part of a centerpiece, but as far as I am concerned, it is inedible.

  69. gorgeous.
    i do not like beets. and why are they so popular all of a sudden?

  70. Dasa on said:

  74. diana on said:

    This is a difficult question because I love all veggies – even broccoli, lima beans, brussel sprouts, peas, squash, turnip and rutabaga. I can only say that, while I love the taste of okra, I’m not keen about its texture. LOL

  75. Erin on said:

    Eggplant has got to be the worst for me! I think it’s a texture thing. Blech…

  76. Dawn on said:

    I hate zucchini
